Jennifer Price Carver Will you wait until the baby comes on its own, or eventually will you be induced? You are a patient woman!
Kathy Beck Ohhhh, that would be so news worthy!! "Baby born on 10/11/12 at the muckleshoot casino"!!! Love it!!
Brooke Cude Meyenberg So the tables didn't see any crazy Muckleshoot moment baby action on 'em. But I did walk away with $65 more in my pockets, so the field trip was somewhat of a success. Jen, We are planning a homebirth so no Dr./hsp. planned inductions. Although... I might end up in the loony bin before this is all over if the wait is too much longer.

Sweet little boy,
How so very excited your daddy and I were WAAAY back in January when we found out about you. It’s been long (and bumpy) journey but gosh, you’ve taught me so much and I wouldn’t trade it for the world.
You’ve shown me how blessed I am to have your daddy to stand beside. How fortunate I am to have wonderfully supportive people in my life. That sometimes it’s okay to say ‘no’ (people will still like you). And that sometimes forcing yourself to slow down, no matter how hard is sometimes the best, wisest and only decision. Thank you little one!
Just one small request as we head into this new season…It’s a beautiful day, the sun is shining and your daddy, big brother and I are so very anxious to meet you. So what do you say? Maybe today we could celebrate your birth day? Please?!!
Love you to the moon and back, can’t wait to give you kisses.
Love,
Mommy

Other Baby News:
We had our 41 week midwife appt. today to review yesterday's ultrasound and stress test results.
Little dude scored 8 out of 8 for all things checked: amniotic fluid, breathing, muscle movement, response to stimulation, ect.. Good, good news!
Charlene did a good sweep and stretch and was pleased with her discoveries. Talked a bit more about post date prevention and scheduled an appt. for the day after tomorrow if still no baby. If we make it that far, there will be talk of acupuncture, more homeopathic methods, ect.
Saw Rachel (the DC) for what I hope is the last time. Again, she worked me hard with the pressure points. Ugh.
It's 8pm this evening it feels like labor is just around the corner. Lots of cramping and soreness. - Fingers crossed!
This Morning...

A walk in the beautiful fall sunshine in hopes of getting things started. Sadly, no such luck. Looks like we are on our way to day seven...
Other baby news:
We had an ultrasound today to check fluid levels and movement. We'll find out the results tomorrow. Although it is a best guess, with lots of room either way - The ultra.s tech said baby boy was measuring 9lbs 7oz. (+/- 1lbs.) Awesome!
Pumpkin Patch

With the sun shinning (today's high in the 70's) and baby brother coming anytime now, we took advantage of the early afternoon hit the pumpkin patch.
A wonderful fall outing!

"Baby brother, you are LATE! Please come soon, I want to give you kisses and share my toys with you."
How can three short days feel like three long months?! Oh my goodness how ready I am to move on to the next 'season'. Come little one, we are all ready to meet you!
What to do? What to do?!

Mama is starting to get a little (whole lot) restless and bored. The result, I've started randomly decorating Hudson's (and new baby brother's) clothes. I think Jack is starting to think I'm nuts...
Today's Random Rablings
>> Wednesday, October 3, 2012
Each and every month since we met (over six years ago) dear sweet Jack has gifted me flowers on our anniversary date. Yesterday, in anticipation of our little one's arrival and my love of fresh color, he went nuts with beautiful pretties on our monthly mark. Thank you honey for being the best husband, father and friend a girl could ever wish for. I don't know what I would ever do without you!
During yesterday midwife appointment Charlene and Terri gave me a rundown of 'homework' to tackle and complete while little dude still decides to stay put. First on the 'to-do' list was a visit to the chiropractor. Good golly did Rachel (the DC) do a number on me this afternoon (in a good way). From hand, shin and ear pressure points to hittin' me up with the Fisher Price like jack hammer thingy. With all the crazy Webster (pregnancy specialized) moves, I can only hope I'm in better shape.
I can't remember the last time I had a doughnut - or bought a doughnut. Maybe while at SanMar?
Krispy Kreme is just next door to the chriopratic office and I was a sucker. Without question when I walked out the door and smelled the yummy goodness and saw the 'hot light' on, I was sold. A delicious pumpkin spice old fashioned had my name all over it.
A Beautiful Fall Day
>> Tuesday, October 2, 2012
Although our little one did not make his grand entrance today, (his due date) the sun was shinning and it was a beautiful day.
I got a little craftin' in, had a wonderful midwife appt., picked up a few new fall wardrobe duds for Hudson and enjoyed a pumpkin ale before calling it a day.
It was a good, good day.

Little dude reconnected with his harmonica over the weekend and hasn't put it down since. Our little blues rocker.
Nesting...
>> Monday, October 1, 2012
Maybe just a little bit.
Hands down, up until this point, the most stressful idea about our home birth plan is not having the house in complete order when labor begins.
It's driving me nuts! It's making me nuts!
I've even gone so far as to make Jack a quick 'to do' list in the event I'm not able to get everything in order when hard labor kicks in. Oh Lord, peace be with my crazy self....
