I was hoping to have exciting baby Kern arrival news to share with you, but we're still waiting. She was due March 15th, and here we are five days later. Boo. Not even last night's supermoon drew her out. I've had plenty of sporadic contractions, and lots of discomfort, but nothing substantial so far. We're headed back to the midwife's office tomorrow for the standard post-due ultrasound (to make sure there's enough amniotic fluid in there) and non-stress test to monitor heart rate and all that. We'll probably discuss setting a date for induction late next week assuming we get that far.
In the meantime, we can only wait. My mom came up from Missouri for the last week, with the intention of watching Leo while we were at the hospital and all that. No dice there, and she had to drive home this morning, but she became Leo's new best friend while she was here (I think every other word out of his mouth was "Graaammaaaww"). We hit up every playground in town, and even got to play outside a bit when some freakishly good weather hit for a few days. They had tons and tons of playtime and giggles, and Leo was pretty inconsolable (for about 5 minutes) when she drove off this morning.
Happily, Byron's mom is on her was over from Chicago at this moment to be on hand for Leo-watching for a while, so he gets a new Gram to play with. Hopefully this girl shows up soon! In the meantime, pictures of Leo will have to suffice.

Hang in there Lisie! She's just telling you she'll come when she's ready (remember this little trait of hers when she's a teenager and late to school again because her hair isn't just right).
Meanwhile, we ALWAYS love pics if Leo! He's a handsome little dude!
Oh man, I bet your mom was disappointed! Tomorrows the day!
