The countdown begins!

Will it be a Halloween baby? Probably not...I went in for the non-stress test (prior to induction, scheduled tomorrow at 8:00pm...well, I have to get there at 8:00pm...who knows when everything will start) and sonogram this afternoon and the baby boy Hexdall is still kicking. In fact, he kept moving so much that the fetal monitor slipped and it took a while to get a consistent read! Small but fairly regular contractions were registering (by me and the monitor), which is reassuring. I'm 4-5 cm dilated so once this all kicks in, he should be welcomed into the world pretty quickly. We are so excited to meet him!

And we must not forget, our little Ladybug Girl is ready for some trick-or-treating! The weather is hardly a treat..cold and raining. This presents a good opportunity for me to hand out candy and count contractions while Daddy and Gran take Camille on her brief trick-or-treating rounds.

Treat!!



Happy Halloween, everyone!
