Nine Days Zwischen

Officially 9 days "zwischen."  This is a German word, meaning (roughly) in-between, that I picked up from an article by Jana Studelska, a midwife, about the last days of pregnancy.  I like it as a term much better than "overdue," which has a pejorative edge to it.  Library books can be overdue...so can electricity bills.  Babies?  I feel like it needs a more spiritual read.

Anyway, the good news is that M and I are making this time work for us.  I think you'd agree he looks pretty comfortable?
