Still Waiting

OK, so it appears that yesterday's "prediction" is not going to be true - seems things have toned down a bit and we're playing the waiting game again.  Contractions continues apace throughout the night until about 4AM, after which they tailed off...so we carried out our Friday in a "business as usual" manner, for the most part.

Grandma brought with her a new stroller from the US that we ordered but couldn't get shipped to Taiwan, so we spent some of the morning "building  it up."



We also went for a stroll around the neighborhood to get Grandma used to the surroundings a bit, including a visit to the local fresh market to see some "sea creatures."  The fish was so fresh it was still flopping around!

Of course there was a lot of this going on today:



John is happy to have his Grandma here to play with him.

Since baby has not come yet, we will carry on as usual with our weekly OB appointment.  Like I said, due date (40 weeks) was yesterday, but there shouldn't really be any issues in terms of outside intervention to initiate the birth for at least one or maybe 2 more weeks (depends what we can convince the doctor of - so far we have had good success in staving off his desired interventions).
