Our due date was last Sunday and the Littlest Tackett is still chillin' in utero.
Nevertheless, we're close--4 cm dilated, periodic (but not yet regular) contractions, the membrane has been stripped, and induction is scheduled for Tuesday (June 1st). Katie's parents arrive today. A post from three days before Maya's due date is appropriate:
"Everything comes gradually and at its appointed hour." - Ovid
"Patience is the greatest of all virtues." - Cato the Elder
"The two most powerful warriors are patience and time." - Tolstoy
"Genius is eternal patience." - Michelangelo
"Infinite patience brings immediate results." - Wayne Dyer
"With love and patience, nothing is impossible." - Daisaku Ideda
"When clouds form in the skies we know that rain will follow but we must not wait for it. Nothing will be achieved by attempting to interfere with the future before the time is ripe. Patience is needed." - I Ching
It's cloudy. More soon...

Love the quotes about patience. They inspire. Still doesn't mean that "shu shu" isn't sitting on pins and needles in California waiting for the call that a new grandchild has arrived. Katie has made the uterine home a cozy and tender place to be - just like the two of you have made your house in DC and wonderful family habitat.
Waiting IMpatienly,
Shu shu
Can't wait for more info!!! Glad to be hearing it from the same time zone this time around :)

Come on, little one! Maya needs to get crackin' on being a big sister. Katie, my thoughts are with you - hope you are able to get some rest before the big arrival! Hugs, Jen H-R
