October

We made it to October. The weather is starting to turn to fall and things are getting real.

My doctor does not want me to go past my due date so if nothing happens on its own they will induce on that date.

We're nowhere closer to agreeing on a name. There's a list of vanilla names neither of us is keen on. There's no frontrunner for me; there's a name-to-beat for him but I don't think either of us is sold on anything in particular. Maybe when we meet the baby we'll get more clarity. In the back of my mind I think we're still somewhat in disbelief that it's happening so it's hard to commit to something abstract.

Rosh Hashanah was really nice. We got through it with no incidents. Yom Kippur is next week, with Sukkot coming up shortly after. My freezer has a bunch of stuff but I'm still cooking because I feel ok and fresh can't be beat.

Minor dramaz at work but I'm trying to steer clear. I have so few work days before I go on leave that it doesn't seem like a good idea to stir the pot. I'm very curious and I want to know details and all the good gossip, but I think that keeping my mouth shut and hands clean is a smarter choice.

Shabbat shalom and shana tova!
