born o3/10/09 at 3:45 pm

9 pounds 6 ounces, 21.5 inches

3 days past the due date, here we wait...

Sunday, March 8th. My friend Joe's Birthday, but no contraction activity.

Well, tomorrow is
03/09/09 which would be a nice birhtday. not as interesting as 03/03/09 or 03/06/09 but tomorrow would be nice all the same.

Labor promoting behaviors for today include: walking, eating pineapple, accupressure (Allegra won't let me try accupuncture?), and yelling at the baby to move it the hell along...

The final countdown...

Only a little over one day to go before the ‘official’ due date is here!!!. We were told in our birthing class that only 10% of babies are born on their due dates.

Allegra is finally realizing that she has a belly protruding outward. Throughout the last month, she continued to stand in doorways thinking that people could pass by, or try to sneak behind someone only to belly blast them out of the way. Once she scooted behind Granny Winny in the kitchen and launched poor granny forward with a yelp of surprise and arms flailing to keep her balance.

I understand that the newest pictures look like they were taken at weird angles that make her tummy appear to be oddly off-center. That is because her stomach is way off center. It looks like she put on fake preggo pad and it slipped around to the side. The pregnancy books stated that it is best for a pregnant woman to lie on her left side. Allegra took that to be a commandment from God, and ONLY slept on her left side for the past 8 months. By the looks of things, I think she leaned to the left while eating, showering, and waiting in a line, and only turned left while driving.

Allegra is finishing this pregnancy in the same way she started it….sick. There is a bug circulating this area that causes a sore throat, fatigue, and a fever. Nolan had it. Numerous students and teachers had or currently have it. Now we fear that Allegra may have caught it. I am not sure if sore nipples were part of the bug, I will have to ask Nolan in the morning. The ‘catnap’ picture was taken today around 4:00pm. Crazy Cat Lady never takes a nap, but today she was not feeling well. When I went to go check on her, this is what I found.

As of now, there are some sporadic minor contractions. I am thinking this weekend may be when things really get interesting.

November update

SORRY!!!!! it has been a while.

Allegra is doing well. She is eating for four. Always hungry, and shameless in her gorging ways. Lately it has been easier to take Sam out for dinner than Al.


Here she is with our baby girl nicknamed 'Scout'. Nolan was 'Dill', you figure it out.
