Still here, still pregnant....

We are ready to go - bags packed, got all the gear, just waiting on the star of the show. Parents are hoping baby Aplin wraps this up soon, and have been encouraging him/her by pleading directly to the belly, eating spicy foods and walking in the park. Other weekend activities included: shopping at the farmer's market, 6 episodes of The Wire, 3 episodes of BBC's Planet Earth, an attempt at cooking Indian food, and some bike rides for Ben. Oh, and a highlight of the weekend for Beth was a 45 minute episode of small contractions on Sunday morning, which of course went nowhere. We were really hoping for the grand entrance (or exit?) this weekend, but alas, as of 10pm on Sunday, no baby. Just restless parents-to-be.

if you have a breastpump, hook it up to those boobies for a few minutes and see what happens. On Liam's due date, I decided that it was taking too long, so I did this handy dandy contraction starter and had him 14 hours later. good luck. with Halen, I ate lots of eggpplant, but apparently that's a totally false wive's tale and it was just coincidence that i ate it for 3 days before he was born.
