Whoa!

We hit Hong Kong without a hitch. No one at the Nanning airport cared that a woman the size of a whale was boarding the plane. Perhaps whales travel often?

The baby has opened a disco club these last two days - perhaps the last party before the grand exit (or entrance?). He's seriously ready to get out, and I am ready for him to get out too! The doctor agreed yesterday, so everything's a go for tomorrow morning.

We head to the hospital in 2 hours. Please think of us and we'll let you know ASAP all the birthing details!

He'll be born November 1 at 9am in Hong Kong - and October 31 at 8pm in America. (Thank goodness for the All Saint's Day birthday on November 1!)

Photos coming soon!

Speak to me, baby!



Is he knocking to come out?

Is he saying, "Get me out, please."

Is he saying, "GET ME OUT OF HERE NOW!"

Is he saying, "Ha! I'm really a girl!"

Is he saying, "Who's out there listening?"
