Nothing Doing.

Sasha is a little cranky these days.

Well, our first estimated due date came and went. And so did the second estimate. And so we're left to assume now that this little dude is staying put for the duration. Apparently he takes after his father: no sense moving once you get comfy.

Another dude who enjoys hanging around upside down.

Frankly, we're all getting a little impatient around here, anticipating the arrival of this kiddo! But in the meantime, Sasha's mom arrived and Sasha has started her maternity leave so the ladies of the house are trying to keep entertained by pretending to be on vacation instead of on Labor Patrol. After all, a watched pot never boils!

When we saw the doctor this week he suggested he wouldn't look to make any drastic moves like induction until late next week though we are going to do another hospital visit tomorrow to get a read on things and try to make some plans. One of the doc's suggestions for getting things moving is just lots and lots of walking to stimulate labor. Sasha has totally taken this to heart, including a marathon session today that included a few pit-stops for sightseeing.

Skydancing or whatever this is called would probably also stimulate labor.

LouLou the Dog likes the lots of walks prescription.

Sasha has almost completely worn out her mother who is still adjusting to the altitude, but they did have a good time checking out the Anthropology museum. Both ladies feel that there just might have been some Mayan mojo in the air that will get things going...



and to those so inclined, we welcome all of your prayers, wishes, magic tricks etc.
