any day now

Last Friday, Janelle’s OB told her that he would bet money in Vegas that she would have the baby by Monday (that’s right…yesterday). Naturally we were both really excited:

• Obviously to see our little girl for the first time (hopefully she looks like Janelle)
• Janelle is at the “just get out of my belly” point of pregnancy and wants to sleep on her stomach again
• and I get 2 weeks off of work once the baby arrives

Alas, this apparent false hope has had an anticlimactic effect. Now every day that she lingers inside her spacious womb is like torture to us (the parents). It’s like having the proverbial carrot dangling in front of our face….for days.
