Weekly Update

It's early Saturday morning - just taking a little break from writing a book review. As the due date for the book review looms upon me, I'm wondering why I ever agreed - no, make that volunteered - to do the review. With a baby around the corner and a full-time job, I'm thinking I must've been a bit out of my mind (pregnancy hormones, maybe?). I love reading and writing, though, and the chance at a free book is hard to pass up.

While checking out my week-by-week pregnancy guide, I came across an interesting little factoid: 85% of babies are born within 2 weeks of the due date. If we're on target with this statistic, our window of opportunity starts next Tuesday! Wow! We had our weekly doctor visit this past Wednesday, and our doc said she's already been delivering babies with a due date of Jan 26th. Here's the latest belly update (37 weeks):

Aakash and I had a good week - we seemed to make a lot of progress on the to-do list hanging over our heads. Still no car yet, but we did manage to knock a number of other things off of the list. Earlier this week, we met a very nice lady who let us try out her Reva - that's the electric car here in India. It's teenie weenie - like something you'd expect to see 10 big clowns getting out of at the circus. Sure is fun, though - a lot like driving a golf cart. With the traffic and parking headaches here in Bangalore, it really does make sense. And not having to learn to drive a manual would be a big plus for me. But, I don't know that we've got anywhere to plug it in - that could be a problem...
