Flotsam and Jetsam

A little of this, a little of that:

* Thirty-seven weeks, and still riding pretty high:



* The most recent doctor visit confirms that Nuke's head-down and still a boy.

(ADDED: There's something else about Nuke's head that's worth noting. The size of the head is one of the ways they get a rough estimate of the baby's size while in the womb. The problem is, there are three head sizes in our families. Byrd heads tend to by small; Jones heads tend to be pretty average; Claus heads tend to be HUGE. So, when the doctor estimated Nuke at 7 pounds last week, we both had the same thought, "Claus head.")

* Should I worry about a doctor who labels the sonogram image of Nuke's area as "Jones Jewels"?

* No contractions yet. He seems to like it in there.

* Hockey is to indoor soccer what American football is to rugby.

* Until recently, I was not aware of this fact, but it IS possible to eat too much barbeque. Who knew?

* Molly Ivors is approaching Digby's level. What Molly said.

* Yes, we have a name picked out for Nuke. You'll learn it right after he does. Pppfftttppfffttt!!!

I guess he is going to be like his cousin Corbin. That kid refused to come out until they forced him. And to this day they measure his head twice at each check up beacuse they are amazed at how big it is.

Jean read your comment and immediately said, "Oh great." I think she's ready for him to make his appearance. Now, if we can just convince him that it's not so bad out here...

Here's what I did (And Harry came 4 days early):
T-minus 5 days: massage
T-minus 4 days: pedicure
T-minus 2 days: walk at altitude (do they have "altitude" in Kansas?)
T-minus 1 day: spicy food
So I say start now!

That altitude thing's going to be a little tough. We could drive to Denver, but I'm guessing our doctor would not approve. Maybe Jean could do a really long swim and get seriously winded.

But the rest of the stuff... I'm pretty sure Jean's down for all of it.
