40 weeks nownow



The hospital where I will give birth


Well, my due date has come and gone and no action yet! I have been meaning to blog for months but I haven't, and sadly I haven't really been journaling either, but overall it's been a great pregnancy! No complaints. My mom is here in Taiwan now and she has been a great help with getting ready for the baby's arrival. We have the crib about ready now and most of the baby's clothes washed and somewhat organized, and we have even been organizing other parts of the house as we wait for Caleb. We're trying to find other ways to pass the time as well, like taking big long walks, eating mango ice, and riding buses to see where they go! Good times. I am starting to feel like the baby will never arrive, but I'm pretty sure my doctor will not let me go longer than the end of the month, so sooner or later he should be here. In our last ultrasound the doctor discovered that the baby's cord is wrapped around his neck one time--he said no big deal; that happens to about 30% of babies, but still it is somewhat concerning to me. If you are reading this before I give birth, please say a prayer for us! It doesn't seem real or possible, but the next time I blog I suppose I will be a mother! Thank you to all of our friends and family for the wonderful support you have given us during this time.
