Nesting - Dad Style

I guess I'm nesting.  With 10 days until E's estimated due date, we have most of the baby-centric tasks taken care of, so that leaves me with other things to keep myself busy.  I've done multiple water changes on my 55-gallon aquarium and planted some new foliage for the fish.  They appreciate their new surroundings as much as I can tell.  I vacuumed our unfinished basement - super important that we keep that area spotless for all the action it sees.  I uprooted all of the skeletal tomato plants leftover in our garden from last season.  At this rate we won't really see much of winter anyway, so we'll be able to start new crops in a month.

E went to see a chiropractor who is certified in the Webster technique (this means they can work on pregnant women).  She said it felt amazing.  It also might give our kiddo some additional room to get comfortable and move into an optimal position for birth.   One of the midwives said she was in OP position (meaning she is head down, but facing forward - aka "sunny side up).  However, the chiropractor also reassured her that most babies turn during active labor.
