We were at a birthday party last night for one of her friends, at one of those Bouncy House places...well, it started at 6 p.m. and we didn't get home until almost 9. Our normal bedtime is 7:00...and she was up bright and early this morning. Besides, a full week of school is a lot for the poor girl!
In other news, C is going to be in an opera of Hiawatha that the school is putting on next month - she will sing as a bird, and be one of the villagers.
Baby L has been using the potty regularly for quite some time now; at home during the day (and often while out and about) he is completely dry, and tells us when he needs to go...or just goes on the little potties alone! Now if only he'd get over the insistence of a diaper for those #2s....but I guess at 20 months, that's asking a lot!
Baby-in-Utero is still active - though definitely running out of room, as most of the movements are not nearly as quick (and painful!) as they had been.
For midwifery, we have one more mama due soon (EDD is 2/21), then I'll be temporarily off-duty for a while...which is very hard for me to even comprehend, much less plan! I'll miss so many pre-natals and births of these mamas I've been following for a while now :( I'm hoping to be back in the office pretty quickly post-birth, with the new wee babe. We'll see...
Finally, many thanks to all who posted guesses on the baby's birth stats...and Molly and Aunt Nancy (on her second guess at least) get bonus points as the only participants who didn't make me go past 40 weeks! And demerits for those who put me over 41 weeks...don't you know how impatient a pregnant lady gets at the end? :)
Hope you all have a wonderful weekend.

Sweet E! She is an angel on that bench all curled up. You have me motivated now to be more consistent with our C and the potty. I just bought a potty for downstairs so now N and I just need to get serious about the full-court press.
That picture of her is adorable.
Sorry about taking you past 40 weeks. I'm not sure I even know when your "due date" is. Oops. Believe me, I remember quite clearly how impatient I got at 9 months pregnant. :)
Nice update on all 4 kids. Great idea to get L potty trained before the new baby arrives. Does it seem the boys are easier than girls? Or is it a function of less resistance? I'm sure your break from the midwifery clients will go by so fast...
OK, that is TOO CUTE!
OK. Not to be outdone, the Jay Grandparents and Aunt Anna were in Delhi, India, on the day of OP's birth. A great cheer and toast from this side of the world where babies ride on the laps of their moms (sans helmets) on the backs of motorcycles ("scooties"), walk and sit along the side of the highways with the cows and trucks, but never seem to cry, at least not in public. I have yet to see a carseat or seatbelt on a child (They are only required for front-seat passengers) and saw my first stroller today (foreign tourists). But, surprisingly, from the crazy traffic regulations here (read "nonexistent") there are very few auto accidents. Makes one wonder. But then again, slapping a child is not considered abuse. A long way to go. Count your blessings. I just added #4 :) P.S. Congrats Dan!
