Baby watch...

39 weeks and 1 day and still playing the waiting game. Baby Maya has started to show some signs that she wants to come out but she still seems pretty cozy and comfortable with her current accommodations to really make the effort. Hopefully that will change this week. I hoped Friday's full moon would tip the scales - that's what the old wives tales say anyway, something about gravitational pull and the start of labor, but alas no. Still feeling pretty good and relaxed, and pretty mobile, sleeping well, and trying not to go crazy waiting for her arrival. In the meantime - there are lots of olympic games to watch, and plenty of things to do to get ready for our move. We move to our new apartment Sept. 13th and it's been a useful week to get some packing done and shop for a few items for our new place - blinds, a dining room table, some barstools for our counter and inevitably more baby stuff. You'd think she would want to come out and check out her gear!

The weather in NY has been beautiful - sunny and pretty cool for August so at least I've been able to do lots of walking - always with a specific goal in mind. Hopefully this will be the week although I'm trying to accept that it's very common for first timers to go past their due date. We'll see what she has in store.
