Birth Watch

Okay: the countdown has begun.

We went for perhaps our last doctor visit before the birth. The doctor said that the baby had dropped significantly more and that labor could begin any day now. Everything is looking good.

Mary said that she been feeling back pain/contractions over the weekend. They've intensified over the past 24 hours. Exciting!

Thanks to our years living in Hawaii, we have an excellent birthing song. The refrain goes: "Drop, Baby. Drop, Baby. Drop. Drop [all your love on me]." That's what we're asking our little guy to do: drop, baby, drop, baby, drop.

A nice rendition of the song here and original here. (Warning: it's one of those infectious songs.)
