Only 28 days until our Estimated Due Date
Today we had another doc appointment... our baby-to-be is piling on the pounds and now weighs an (estimated) 2.9kg! (that's about 6.4 lb for those who like to use butter as a gauge). All is well with mother-to-be and baby-to-be. We're only a week away from full term, so are readying ourselves for the day that our lives will turn upside-down (in a good way).

I read an interesting statistic today - that 90% of fathers now attend the births of their children - the highest percentage in recorded history. A lot of things in the birth process go in and out of fashion, and yet I can't help but think that it is a tremendously positive thing that men are becoming involved in the upbringing of their chidren from the very first moment they enter the world. I once had a conversation with a taxidriver who confessed that his life's greatest regret was that he didn't attend the birth of his child. Instead, he sheepishly admitted, he felt bored so he went to watch a movie. *aiyah!*

Tomorrow will be busy - Stereotype shifts office to a nicer, more central, larger office. Everyone is quite excited, and looking forward to working in a new environment. I'll post pictures once we get the place settled and decorated.
