Waiting

With only three days to go (April 25th is the due date), Heather is feeling 'good and ready', Josh runs straight up the wall when startled, his coworkers have started a lottery pool on the due date, we've finally settled on names (pretty much anyway), packed our hospital bag, prepared the baby's room (complete with crib, changing table and black-out blind), gone for several long walks to 'get things going', and are taking the herbal stuff they recommend (raspberry leaf and primrose oil). On Monday we have a final ultrasound and check up to make sure that the baby is still comfortable. After that they will decide whether it is safe to try waiting for a natural labour or whether they'll induce. We're excited and scared but indeed, good and ready. We'll try and update the blog a little more frequently over the next week, beginning with a post on Monday evening after our scan.
