Is this it?
The officially predicted due date for our baby's arrival is October 6, 2004.
Since about 9.00am today, Richa has been having "labor-like" symptoms: regular contractions, 1.5-2 minutes apart, lasting 30-40 seconds each. I am pretty sure that I have observed her stopping to catch her breath, more than a few times. However, according to her, the contractions haven't been that painful: she says she has been able to talk through them, mostly.
Rishi (Richa's brother) arrived earlier today. Richa's parents have been staying with us over the past several days, too. In the afternoon, we had visitors show up. Richa's paternal uncle, his wife and kids stopped by. Richa chatted comforably with them, giving no real outwardly indication of what was going on inside her.
The rocker-glider
that we had purchased a few days ago at Babies'R'Us has come in very handy. Of all the chairs and couches available in the house for sitting, Richa has found the glider the most comfortable. I'm glad it is proving to be useful.
In the evening, a couple of hours ago (around 5.30) Richa felt like taking a walk around the neighborhood, so she and I headed out. We did a little walkabout of our street, basically circumnavigating the houses on our street. It was a short walk, which would have been shorter had we not run into the nice old lady who lives 4 houses down the street from us.
In other words, it has been a normal day in every sense of the word. So far.
