The due date has come and gone. We are still waiting. There is nothing left to do. Even my belly has been painted, twice, courtesy of Uta. I was so sure this baby would come early, but apparently that certainty was coming from impatience, not intuition. Its just not up to me and its quite a challenge to trust that things above and beyond simply know better. Babies are not ruled by those calculator wheels that midwives spin your fate on. What guides their development and eventual entrance into this world is not something we can pinpoint and schedule. But it does serve some solace (and eventual disappointment) to try.
Uta came two days after his due date.
Today is Jiji's birthday. No predictions, really. I'm just saying... a new grandchild would be a very nice birthday gift. We'll see.
