sympathetic magic...

We just put together the co-sleeper...correction...Guy just put it together and I watched. I thought if we have everything waiting perhaps that would encourage the-as-yet-unnamed(-but-the-list-of-names-is-shorter)-baby to make an appearance. You know, sympathetic magic, set the stage and it will happen...of course it could work in the opposite. (Anyone with Arm's Reach Co-Sleeper experience--we can't get the middle bar on the bed side to lock. Any ideas?)

I re-read the "Signs of Labor" handout again last night just in case I might've missed something. Nope. I know the signs. I haven't experienced them, but I know what they are.

So we approach the due date of our little boy...that still feels weird to write and say...and, given both of our tendencies to be late it would seem karmically appropriate that he makes us wait past his targeted arrival time.
