Sam and Amy decorate our 2nd-ever attempt at a Sukkah back in October. We ‘repurposed’ a general use shade/shelter tent we picked up at Target by removing the roof, hanging muslin from the sides, and finding branches around the ‘hood. Worked quite well, until the rains came ;-).
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…
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!
