When we left the house last night for our evening walk, Cat opened up the side garage and brought out the three-wheel stroller we got from Quincy Engineering. I thought he was just kidding around.
He wasn't.
We walked around the neighborhood with our empty stroller as passers by looked at us as if we had completely lost our minds. When we got back to our block, some of our neighbors were out front. Tabitha greeted us with, "Oh! You had the baby!" But then she noticed my belly and took a closer look at the empty stroller. Do you think anyone can tell that Cat is a little bit excited for his son to arrive?
We've gotten several recommendations on how to get labor to kick in. Nothing has worked so far. Admittedly, I haven't tried ALL of them. For example, I will NOT be drinking castor oil anytime soon. But today one of Cat's coworkers told him that a local Mongolian Barbeque joint is responsible for starting labor for at least two women. So guess what's for dinner tonight. Maybe some Mongolian Barbeque and another walk with our "invisible baby" will get things going.
