Fetus, you come down here right now

]]> I can already tell that my unborn son is going to be like me, for little reason other than the fact that he’s late at an inopportune time. He’s all but run out of room, or more aptly run out of womb but appears in no hurry. My wife is a hormonal, uncomfortable, emotional and anxious,  yet he takes his time.
I took my wife for a drive last night to get her out of the house and distract her for a while, and I tried to hit every pothole and bump in the road along the way. We tried some pressure point stimulation and even raspberry tea, which, strangely enough is rumored to trigger contractions. Nothing. He’s taking his time and he doesn’t appear easily persuaded to care who’s waiting. I thought that a personal appeal might work because, as we all know, fetuses read blogs. (Thanks, iPhone.)

Baby, this is Daddy. I was wondering if you could do me and mom a favor and just start making your way towards the exit. She’s very uncomfortable and if you grow much more we’re going to have to get her a scooter to travel around on.

It’s not that bad out here. You’ve got a brand new room, people who love you and an ingeniously packaged food source, so please make your appearance soon. I’d call you by your first and middle names to make it sound like I mean business, but we haven’t picked them yet so hopefully a ‘please’ will suffice.

We can’t wait to see you.

Love,
Dad

My wife is scheduled to be induced on Saturday if he decides not to make an appearance before then, but any moment sooner does not seem soon enough.
