We're eager for Alder to arrive, and of course at this point he is "full term." Most of the tricks to help women go into labor are old wives' tales that probably cause more adverse side effects than good, but one thing we know can't hurt is taking walks in this beautiful fall weather! Yesterday we stopped in the shade of a gazebo to take in the scenery. I needed to rest my back, so I asked Tom to let me lean against him. Tim said it was reminiscent of a scene from Forrest Gump where the two soldiers lean against each other to keep from having to sleep in the mud. So he snapped our photo. I guess it's good, since unlike with Rowan, I haven't taken the time to photograph my full-term profile. Enjoy!
