Is this thing on?



Honestly.
12 days past the due date. How am I supposed to stay relaxed and labor friendly as we face week 43? I can't clean the fridge out right now. Sure, I started the project, and there are antique jars of salsa and petrified spaghetti sauce staring at me from the counter, but I just can't seem to finish the job. Nor can I muster the strength to sweep Toivo's hair off the floor for the 614th time this week. I can genuinely attest to the fact (Josh can, too) that I have personified nesting for the last 4+ weeks. I am running out of whatever it is that has kept me going.
BUT of course, there's another part of me that is so filled with hope and excitement that I want to cry. And I do. Sigh. All a part of this mysterious journey.

One day late

This may be an act of nesting. Preparing. Launching into the world of cyberspace parenting. But for what it's worth, here now our humble family blog begins. Little baby Rude was due yesterday. He/She sits patiently within, nuzzled up in mama's womb, apparently just not quite ready to leave. That's okay, baby. We wait for you with great anticipation.
