No news is...well, no news

Sorry to disappoint all you baby-watchers. No action from the womb over the weekend.

It's been a hot week here, with more of the same to come. The girls spent hours over the weekend in the pool! We're on our way to a splash pad this morning - a really cool invention! They have sprinklers and fountains that spray water, so the kids run around, staying cool and having fun...and the water doesn't collect, so no safety hazard :)

Happy belated Mother's Day to all the moms reading - interesting fact we heard on the radio yesterday: Mother's Day was signed into law as the second Sunday of May in 1914. It was started a few years prior to that by a school teacher who decided she needed to honor her mother more. Kind of interesting. I always assumed it was a Hallmark Holiday!

Happy birthday to our IC neighbor C...and belated birthday wishes to his lovely wife K! K informed me yesterday that the buyer of our house was running around the backyard sword-fighting with some friends...hm.

Keep watching - a fun update can't be too far away!

...today is 40 weeks, 5 days...

Thank you for the update, Jen. Weather should cool off some this week, no? Our forecast is for a 10 degree drop tomorrow. I'll pray a cool evening for birthing for you.

You know, having a pool to labor in sounds very dreamy...I actually had lots of daydreams about giving birth in our town's swimming pool. (I went swimming a lot during pregnancy so I had lots of time to think about such things when I was doing laps). I played out all these funny scenarios in my mind. Anyway it felt great to be able to move with my body totally immersed in water, even better than a birth tub. And with this hot weather it might feel fantastic to hop in when labor starts!

Aaah, I'd do it in a heartbeat! In my own backyard pool that is. No public pools, thanks! Rixa I thought just the opposite in the Yale pool, that if my water breaks in this thing, I'd have to get out right away LOL

Jen, I check your site before I even check my email now... Is it too late to change my bet on the baby guessing site? :)
