Is that a twinge I feel?

(Hey you. If you're reading this post, take a look at the column to the left. I added a poll to see what folks are guessing the Bean will be! So vote already! You don't need a photo ID! ;-)

Yesterday was my weekly doctor's appointment during which I was examined to determine if "things were happening" yet. Well, they are. (Out of respect for all of you guys who really don't need the nitty gritty details, I'll spare you the prego lingo.) All yesterday, I felt, well, different. Lots more pressure like the Bean is about to fall out, and other twinges and such that can indicate impending labor. So, last night, suddenly I thought -- Crazy lady! Pack your bag! So, that's what you see in the picture here. E grabbed the camera and snapped a shot. I packed the Bean's clothes for the first time. Weird!

So, I have another appointment on Friday; Dr. Craig will do that oh-so-fun exam again and if I'm still progressing, then she actually plans to induce labor Saturday morning -- during what when I was a kiddle was prime cartoon time. Hoo-ah!

If on the other hand things haven't changed much, then it will be next week; but she doesn't plan to let me go longer than that.

I'll post Friday night to let everyone know what's happening. If it's a go -- check by Saturday or Sunday for photos and/or video!

I just ordered a new digital video camera that will be delivered Thursday. You know how we love our tech gadgetry. Oh! In case any of you are wondering, there will be no documentation of any muckety muck. There will however be plenty of photos of the Bean, who will by then given one of the following names:

Annelise
or
Even Michael

What will it be? We're about to find out...
