Marching towards the due date, surviving a late winter

Well, My wife has run up and down the stairs, walked all over the house, and even tripped down the stairs last night (NOBODY PANIC! She's fine, mostly her pride was hurt and the baby started moving almost instantly after) Anyway I bring that up to show that just about EVERYTHING (well, save spicy foods) has been tried to get the baby on her path to the new world, and she's stubbornly staying put until she's ready.


It's not a bad thing due to the weather this weekend. WE've only had two spouts of winter, and when they showed up it was a doozy. First was near Thanksgiving with all the snow (bout a foot, foot.5) and this weekend we had ice, sleet, freezing rain, drizzle, sleet, snow, freezing rain, snow and more sleet. It's now only 5 degrees outside and will be for the next few days. This would have made the relative short distance to the hospital that much longer.

Another dent is that we purchased a new stove last week, (GE, glass countertop et al) and we have yet to deliver the thing because the weather is keeping it firmly at the store. Hopefully we'll have the stove delivered before the baby, otherwise a Grandparent might have to wait there :)
