OPB (other people's babies)

Hello there anxious people awaiting news, sorry there isn't any yet! I'm a bit anxious myself, the first few days of relaxing have been great but now I'm getting impatient, this waiting game is hard! We've been walking walking walking to try to help ease the baby down and explored the neighborhood like we've never done before! There's a thai restaurant just a few blocks away, several tattoo shops we never knew about, an arcade, and I can now map out all the best italian ice hot spots in a 20 block radius. The only thing that gets me down is seeing all those other people's babies happily outside the womb and secretly telling my baby 'see, they did it, what are you waiting for?'

I can definitely feel that the baby is very low in the launch position now and I'm sure he must be ready any day now. I'm feeling the occasional cramp-like sensations but no real contractions yet, though every time I feel anything at all I stop and listen, hoping it's going to build and that this is the beginning. I'm starting to consider getting acupuncture to help nudge things along if nothing happens by the end of the week. It is supposed to be very  effective and I believe the place I used to go to is quite authentic and actually had a hand in my getting pregnant in the first place. I know I know, I shouldn't rush nature, but my 12 weeks of no-workyness have already begun so time waiting is sort of time wasted, we'll see.
There was one thing that really brightened my day today and that is that my dad FINALLY sent me 2 pictures of my new baby sister, here they are!
