Baby Wang #2 Update

I wanted to drop a quick update out to those who might still follow our blog...I'm terrible about updating it! We are still anxiously awaiting the arrival of Baby Wang #2. 2+ days overdue and counting... The good news is that there is an end in sight (unless we get bumped) as we're scheduled to be induced this Friday. I had a doctor's appointment yesterday morning and went in with the conviction that I wasn't leaving without an induction date. Of course, I got the usual "we don't like to do elective inductions"...my reaction was "I'm not waiting another week and 1 day just for it to be considered non-elective...CHECK THE CALENDAR NOW!" (Vinh can verify this) Since this time around I'm not the niave 1st time Mom figuring doctor knows best...nope, I'm the overdue, over-tired (which I realize will be for quite some time), over-uncomfortable, over-hormonal, over-the-top woman who is trying to feel like she has some control over her own body!! (I know it's a stretch, but the truth) So now we wait for it to either happen naturally between now and Friday or be induced and get the show on the road.

As for Addy, we are continuously watching the "Dora - Big Sister" moody (movie) and Addy official can say sister, but we're still not sold on her understanding the ramifications of that word. We're pretty sure she thinks it involves a big brother monkey named Boots, but we could be totally off on that :) We read her "Big Sister" book every night before she goes to bed in the hopes for another seed planting opportunity, but the book has a puppy in it and that seems to take most of her attention...oh the fun we are about to embarq on!

To top it all off, Thursday is the official Chinese New Year. Ever since joining the Chung family, I've had quite an appreciation for trying to learn and understand the cultural nuances. Chinese New Years is a big deal and the one take away that I've always listened to is the belief that "what happens on Chinese New Years is an indication for what will happen to you all year". (do you know where I'm going with this?) That's right, if this baby decides to come on Chinese New Years...I can't even begin to think about what that would mean...ha/ha!!!

We'll keep you all posted on the arrival of the newest member of the Chung family!
