Walking and Waiting

Mimi was kind enough to road test The Bob stroller for us. She gave it 2 thumbs up.

I have really enjoyed being off of work for 5 days. We are waiting patiently (sort of) for this baby to decide to come out. Its been wonderful to have Nate off with me for this time too. We have been going on 5 mile walks every day so far. It is a beautiful time of year to live by the river. We have been really enjoying the walks. The baby seems to like the walks enough to stay in my belly. We have tried a few other things that I won't mention on this blogspot to get the baby out, but as time goes on, I am resigning myself to the fact that maybe I don't get to decide when the baby is going to be born. Oh well, he has to come out sometime, right????

The big sisters are very excited to have a little brother.

Here is the baby daddy waiting for the baby.

Dakota is waiting patiently for Baby Olin.

So are Edward and Sancho

The chickens don't really care.

Due Date

Today is my due date. I don't feel any different than I did yesterday, I really don't feel much different than I did 2 weeks before my due date. Except I'm bigger. And so is baby O. Although, two exciting things happened today that are related to the baby: 1. Today is the first day of my maternity leave. I don't have to go back to work until after Christmas unless I want to. 2. We had an ultrasound today that showed on my due date at 10:00 am, the guesstimated weight of Baby Olin is 7lb 13oz. We also learned some things about his body. His head is in the 98th percentile and his femur length is in th 28th percentile. He is already taking after his father.
