Monica wanted to make a belly cast of her pregnant belly during her first pregnancy with Rainy, then she thought this is her second chance with torrent. Still no belly cast even though he came a week or so late. Now, unless something goes awry, this pregnancy is our last chance, but until today we hadn’t done one. If the babies would have already come we would have been out of luck. Now, finally, everything is complete. Monica did a belly cast. Do you even know what a belly cast is? Check out the link here. Once it dries we’ll post a picture here. So now everything is really ready. They have to come soon now.

Today has come and almost gone. Its the 26th, the official day that was Monica’s Due date. Not a lot of action today. Monica did talk to Dr. Heidi and she suggested that Monica do a belly dance with a sheet wrapped tightly around her belly — hoping to pull the babies in closer to her spine — hopefully they will drop more and labor will begin. I’ve picked out the sound track. The mix is now available at iTunes. Check out the “Babies Come now” mix.

Monica has had a sleepless night, but she can’t say that labor has started. She looked in the mirror and claims that her face looks flush. That was a true indicator for Torrent. She looked flush according to Sharon, our nurse midwife in Missoula, on the day she went into labor with T-man. So we are hoping.

Patty, Monica’s sister in law, had a dream last night — vividly she saw a boy and a girl. And if your into the visions, our friend, Linda Shutt — a midwife here in Ithaca — believes that the kids will be born early tomorrow (friday), before 6 am. That is the latest. We are surely ready.

Oma is Visiting

We are enjoying the visit of Oma Waltraud. She is up from Florida. Barbara and Dayton, Isabelle and Elliot are here too. The babies are the main attraction, but for now it is still Monica’s belly that is getting all the attention.
