D-8

I saw my doctor today and no progress has been made....She even planned on seeing me Nov 6th and Nov 9th - How frustrating !! :-(

D-10 False alarm...

We had 3 contractions in one hour and then....nothing...Our baby already likes to joke around !

Natacha to Jack : "I'm having contractions, can you time them ?"
Jack's answer : "NOOOOO you would hurt much more than that..."

I think someone watched WAY too many movies with fake births....

Baby shower

This weekend Stephen and Meghan threw us an "unconventional" baby shower and we had an awesome time ! It was the best baby shower we've ever been to !
There was "tarte flambee", french cheeses and wine (and Perrier for me !)...
Jack Jr got spoilt one more time - THANKS EVERYBODY !!!There was some wii action, followed by a poker game where Jack won most of the money...No worries, the mom-to-be was in bed by 4 AM ! :-)

38th week picture

I just saw my doctor and she says : "it's not for the next couple days"...
I am not cleaning...yet...but I'm baking pies...my latest creation "pumpkin pie with cinnamon walnut streusel"...Is that a sign ??

Jack Jr's room

Before :
After :

His bed is ready !!! (even though he'll be using the cosleeper for a while)...Also this is a loaner crib, not his long-term crib !

This is where his diapers will be changed :

Jack Jr is officially full term today !!!!
Now he can come anytime...We just took a 3 hour walk hoping to speed up things. :-)

NYC taxicab driver...

Last night, our cab driver said :
"it's a boy and he'll be born on a Friday"

We'll see if he's right...Oh and Full moon is on Friday, October 26th...

Gifts

Jack Jr got a cute sweetpea outfit from Cristina, Richard & Zahara and some cool jeans/top/shoes from Olivier, Delphine & Erin...I'll try to post pictures when Jack Jr will be able to "model"...

Today was the day of my C-section...I'm glad it did not happen but we're definitely looking forward to meeting little Jack Jr !!! Jack Jr already taught me something...patience...
