Everything's fine; progressing pretty much as expected.

We went to the dr last Tuesday, and everything's looking good. According to the dr, Polliwog is head-down now. . .not that that means birth is immient, but it's certainly what were moving towards.

I've felt a fair bit of contractions (Braxton-Hicks) this past week or so. We asked the dr what were our guidelines for "call the doctor/run to the hospital." We're not even close to that sort of regular, rhythmic sort of thing. It's more like random musle flexing.

Eric is getting more and more excited. A couple ladies at church gave us baby gifts today, and I let Eric open them. He was enthusing about dressing his little brother in the new socks (they look like rockets) and showing him off.

Tuesday evening, we'll be taking a Teddy Bear Tour of the hospital. This is intended for siblings, to let him see where it's all going to happen. Dan and I are looking forward to it, too, tho, because we don't know where it's all going to happen. . .

It's hard to believe we still have a full month to go to the due date. I feel like it is SO time for this baby to be born. . .except it's not.

I'm managing my diabetes well. Dan and I saw the endocrinologist Wednesday, and she was pleased with my management. I am, too, of course, but I'm not the doctor. Part of the credit for that sucess is Dan's. He does a really good job of computing just how much of what I can eat.

And that's all the news that is news.
