Here We Sit

Ever go to camp and sing that song, Here we sit like birds in the wilderness? That’s how I’m feeling lately. We’re just sitting around waiting for something (baby Italiano) to come along. It’s a weird sense of being anxious and excited at the same time.

We purposely went about our normal Saturday routine today, we were out and about shopping, in and out of the car, went out to dinner and a little more shopping…and still no baby. Although Vickey’s contractions are occurring more frequently they’re still not signaling an immediate delivery.

Our friend Tracy from Los Angeles joined us for the week on Tuesday evening. She’s staying until Monday or early Tuesday morning and has another friend on her way to LA headed to stay with us in Vegas tomorrow evening until they both leave for home. Tracy has taught Eliana all sorts of bootyliscious dance moves. We’re glad she’s here to entertain Eliana!

We all went swimming for a couple hours this afternoon at the Coglianese’s and had a great time. Their family is gathering for the naming and blessing of their baby, Mijken, tomorrow. Although Amber and Vickey had due dates just 5 days apart, Amber managed to beat Vickey to the punch by delivering Emma Mijken on June 16.

I guess I don’t really have much else to add. My mom thinks the baby will come tomorrow…sorry to tell you mom, it’s not looking like that’ll happen. My web designer friend’s wife’s birthday is Tuesday, so they’re rooting for that day. And on our due date, my cousin Gina was born, along with a couple other work acquaintances. I’m sure Gina’s hoping for the 6th. It’s just all pretty much a mystery at this point.

We’re hanging in there and taking the 100+ temperatures as best as we can.
