T Minus One…

So tomorrow is the forecast ‘big day’, after 40 weeks, Amy is at full term on 10/31. Her doctor’s appointment today indicated that things are progressing, with the baby’s head dropping down a few stations, and some dilation happening too. My cameras are charged, our bags are packed, and of course, both Sam and I are coming down with a head cold just in time for our big event. Amy is fine, however, and more ready than ever. Stay tuned – I don’t think a Halloween baby is out of the question now…

T Minus Five…

Well, the big day moves closer and closer. Looks like we will still win the great 2008 baby race with Amy’s sister-in-law, the ‘other’ Amy Handelman. It’s a long story, but we sold the naming rights in 2003. Anyway, Amy H in Rochester has a date for her baby, November 21st, just in time for Turkey Day. We are of course due on Halloween. Amy is getting a bit more uncomfortable, but continues to look just great. I told her yesterday that I continue to be in awe of what she is going through, and doing so for the second time is even more remarkable to me. Stay tuned for for more updates!

T Minus Seven

So we are in the final stretch. That’s getting quite literal for Amy – her belly seems to be straining to unheralded proportions, but she looks and feels great. There are some more oopmhs and groans this week as Trotz 2.0 adjusts positions, and we’ve seen some great Alien-esque effects as a knee or elbow strain for room inside the womb and extrude from her stomach. No signs of any activity yet – stay tuned here or via my Twitter page or Facebook profile or Flickr gallery to get the first notification that we are on our way. Sam seems a little stressed these last few days, being a bit more tantrum-prone than usual – I think he realizes his solo gig is soon to end. I still know he’s going to be a fabulous big brother.
