Another Finn - how cool!

Sounds like a great appt., Shay. Do things seem to be speeding up? Somehow, that switch from monthly to biweekly appts. made things seem so real to me.

Mamacaboose's Finn was the first Finn I'd ever met and he is an ADORABLE 3ish year old who is now my friend.

YES things seem to be sped into high-gear now, for sure. I love having appointments every 2 weeks and soon she'll make a home visit which is very exciting! When she showed me where his little bum is right now and where his foot was stickin' out and how his head is, that really kinda hit it home for me that there's a little baby in there, a real, correctly formed, whole little baby. It's so nuts!

My boss just called to tell me about a home birth he watched on TV this morning and about how the woman was yelling that she'd made a mistake and that she wanted drugs and that holy shit it hurt and she couldn't make it. For some reason the reality of I will be in labor seems more real than that I will have a baby. I wonder why?

Thank you! how late was Finn again?? MM says she doesn't believe in "late" so much as "wrong due-date given." ha! The baby comes right when it's supposed to, I guess. I'm soooo anxious already to meet him. And also to try my hand at this labor thing...
