Still nothing.
But acting on popular comment demand, if there’s still nothing tomorrow, I will go to the extremely high end mall, home of Georgia’s only Tiffany’s, and walk the mall until I can’t stand it.
(In case it works, don’t worry. The mall is only ~30 minutes from the house, maybe less. And even closer to the hospital.)
In good news, the farmer’s market has attractive large organic gala apples again, so I’m Happy Fruit Girl.
And while I was there, I came up with another silly theory! Smudge couldn’t come because we had no champagne with which to toast his arrival!!!
Of course I corrected that, including buying the most expensive bottle of fancy French champagne that I’ve ever personally bought — $25. It got a 94 from some wine magazine. And in case we need more, I also bought a less expensive bottle of Spanish sparkling wine that also had a high score from a different wine magazine.

When we were waiting for labor to start I came to the conclusion that Julia wasn’t making her arrival because the zen garden (used to be a built in planter but the plants kept dying) wasn’t zen enough. So I spent an afternoon re-zenning the zen garden: removing all the random toys, rocks, incense sticks, candle stubs that had gotten stuck in it, smoothing it out, re-raking it, placing a few very carefully chosen rocks. It didn’t work, but it did kill time. And the garden was beautiful for all our post-baby guests (not that they noticed)

Hmmm…. have you tried jumping jacks? hehehehe… Soon enough, soon enough… it’ll happen for us won’t it… (seems like we’re the last two in the bunch…)

While in Tiffany’s be sure to be holding some really luxurious item that they’ll have to just give you when you are in the throws of labor in their store

You’re getting closer and closer!

Corinne, I have seriously considered jumping jacks!
But the more I think about it, the more ready I am to have a quiet few days, sans baby, after my MUL goes home. I love her, but it’s hard to be “on” while at home, for a whole week, especially this pregnant.

I think of you at least a dozen times an hour. At least.
