Lil’ G: 39 weeks (and then some) down


Size Comparison: HO scale slot car track

I’m way behind on the blogging. Sorry about that.

Anyway, slot cars are great. I remember setting the track up on the ping-pong table, the basement filling with the delicious smell of electricity, oil, and ozone. It really is a happy smell. I remember some of our favorite cars, too. Mine was a yellow Dodge Daytona Superbird with the tall wing on the back. My brother had a black F1 car that was consistently faster than mine. I know we had a yellow Datsun, too and I think that may have been my Dad’s.

We’re still waiting. The official due date is November 22nd which, you’ll notice, is only two days away. We’re more than ready for the big day and we get more and more anxious each day. And it’s not that anyone is particularly uncomfortable or anything. It’s really just that we’re excited to meet the new family member.

We have another appointment Wednesday. Assuming we don’t have the baby before then, the doctors say they’ll schedule a time next week to induce labor. In any case, we’re less than a week and a half from having our baby.
