updates*
No wee one yet. ; )
K is back at home having contractions anywhere from 2 - 6 minutes apart. She is 4cm dilated and 50 percent efface. She's being so absolutely brave and strong. Poor thing has been contracting for more than three weeks.
We're waiting and trying our best to be patient and trust Boho Baby is wise beyond his years and knows exactly what he's doing.
We met her doctor today and LOVED her. Heard his heartbeat and swooned. Her doctor feels it will be no more than a week, if not within the next few days. So, we're definitely staying and waiting it out, even though her labor continues to stall. It is very important for us to be here for the birth.
I had a good cry with my marmie on the phone tonight. Everyone is feeling uptight and emotional due to the election, as well as worrying about K's discomfort and frustration. I'm trying to figure out my place and be strong for K and me and us and baby. Hearing my mother's calmness on the other line and encouragement and trust and faith that all will be well helped sooth my stress. I love my marmie.
The fact that Obama is doing well so far has lifted our spirits.
Thank you so much for your tips in the comments below. We're definitely trying and have seen progress! Having that support has been comforting to all. Hugs to each and every one of you that took time to offer your wisdom and beautiful stories.
Will update you soon.

Blessings to you all,,,,little boho boy will know when he is to make his entrance and when he does the angels will be singing and God will be dancing and all will be right with the world.
Remember to breathe and let your little man lead the way.
big hugs to you all,

D ~ thinking of you soooo much and hoping you get to meet your son very soon. :) I know the waiting is so difficult, but wow will he be blessed when he finally decides it's time to meet his beautiful family! I can't wait to hear more....K is so lucky to have such a beautiful spirit by her side. :)
Much love,
J
so good to hear an update! i know this must be a time of so many emotions. i'm praying that you'll navigate through it as smoothly as possible. go boho baby, go!
K, T, Boho Girl, Boho Boy...you are all STRONG...you are all full of LOVE. God bless you all...
BOHO BABY: You are deeply loved by so many...we are all anxiously awaiting for your arrival. You are BLESSED!
xo glo :)
i can imagine the crippling eagerness -- i remember it well from the last month of my pregnancy. but i am glad every time i check and hear that he is still in there. i feel for K, of course, i mean, how much more amazing does this woman have to prove she is??? but every day baby is in the womb, he is a little stronger. he's gathering all of his might so when you squeeze him, he can squeeze back strong!
In between cries of Go Obama! we're also crying Go Baby Boho!!
The only problem with a baby is that you may have to wait for more than 270 before he's born... :/
oh denise my heart is so over flowing for u & boho boy now that your little man has finally found his way to your family!!! i feel so blessed that u have allowed all of us to be a part of this amazing time in your lives. every ounce of your journey has truly has made me love & appreciate my 2 girls even more if that is possible! boho baby must be an amazing little soul to be the one who has found his way to you. i cant wait for his arrival into this life! lots of loves & kisses coming ur way from me & my girls! --bradee
i can see the end of sarah palin's career from my house.

meesh
I'm so thrilled beyond words!
Sending good wishes your way!
crippling eagerness.. well put, above. thinking of you, and so excited for you all.

I can only imagine how overwhelming this all must be for you right now...it's all going to be a beautiful memory before to long though...especially when you're home snuggling your new little boy. :)
Sending love...and wishes for a quick, safe labour for K and your baby.

And what a world your son will be born into ... we live in a beautiful world!
Yes, we can!
so much love and courage, strength and beauty written in these past few posts, beautiful mama.
thank you for continuing to share your journey, through the tenderness of it all.
i am so glad you and carsten are near him now...
ready and waiting.
your tiny boho baby most certainly knows what he is doing...just as, when the time comes, you will too.
sending love and strength to you and k.
xoxoxo
The only place you need to be is right there next to Carsten, holding his hand...i know all this is confusing and overwhelming and you want to do and be more...but you, just the way you are, right where you are, doing what you are doing, is more than enough! I love you xx
Sending love, courage and strength your way.
I am excited for you! I almost feel like we are in the "waiting room" with you...
holding you up in prayer...timing has it's place and in the meantime, you are being an angel of love and gratitude for K.
Den~ this big sis is so incredibly proud of you, it hurts.
I love you forever!!!
XOXO Dar b/sis
Boho.. What a great time and atmosphere your son will be born in!
I actually had a dream early this morning that I discovered I was pregnant with a boy. I had a scan and could see him in detail. Then I woke up (I had crashed on the sofa in front of the TV all night watching election results) and heard confirmation that Obama had won the election! :-)
hang in there - this is the majesty of life unfolding in its own good time.......christine
i think he knows it's safe to come out now. :)
peace and blessings to you all
maybe he's being a typical scorpio? gonna have to look it up in my linda goodman ;)
hang in there...sounds like you're all doing well and supporting each other...can't wait to hear his name!
Thinking of all of you and sending you strong and healthy vibes. The process of birth is an emotional and wonderful journey for everyone who is involved. Stay strong, lean on one another when you need to and keep you eye on the goalpost. Am so excited and can't wait to meet the Boho Baby!
He's chosen a great time to come into the world.
Just think. Your son will be born into a world where race is no obstacle to the highest office in the nation.
Your son will be born into a transformed country.
I am thinking of you my dear...all will go perfectly. :)
Please tell K that I am thinking about her.
On a fun Obama side note, this morning in Kansas a rainbow was in the sky over our home...a divine sign that Obama is the man???? :)
Boho baby was waiting to be born in a time of hope, when there is jubilant energy in the air. Compared to yesterday's angst, today feels like a warm breeze. Can you feel it? He'll be here soon. Sending blessings your way.
Hang in there.. even though it is so hard to be patient.
Enjoy your last few days/ hours as a couple. Your life is about to change in so many wonderful ways.
Sending love,
~Jennifer
Boho Baby could be waiting until the inauguration in January... just to be on the safe safe y'know!
*safe side, I mean.

You are tremendously blessed in so many ways... and I am excited for this path you are traveling! May you continue to find the peace in your heart... as it swells beyond measure! Many blessings, Josy

i keep checking in for updates..! Thinking of you so much!! Hoping it won't be much longer now till you are holding your precious son in your arms. Sending love and blessings on this special day for the country, hoping it will be made even more extra-special with good news from you! xxx
denise, ive been following with baited breath-i cant wait to meet your new one and photograph your sweet little family of three!
A year & a half ago we were in this waiting pattern with my younger sister whose labor had crept along at low levels for ages, wearing her out but not progressing. Faced with a rapidly approaching decision about whether to go to a C-section or not while she was still in OK shape, we gathered our faith community and asked for their prayers, and we ourselves began visualizing opening doors, penquins sliding into the water, otters, fast-motion flower blooming...anything even remotely related to dilation, effacement, and birth. Within 30 minutes she dilated & effaced fully and my nephew arrived not long after. Just goes to show you the combined power of the mind and spirit, and the love of good people. Wishing you all a similar miracle and grace. XO
use this time to gather up all your energy, you'll need it when he arrives. birthmoms are amazing! ours was such a trooper too. love love love.
I'm just so excited for you both! I became a mom this year too - and I am getting tears in my eyes as I write this - because I know what an amazing time you are about to have! Your lives are about to change, your universe is about to change. For me, everything turned upside down the first time I held my son - and the world is such a different/wonderful place.. so full. Congratulations!
Long time lurker, first time poster; Love and good wishes to all five of you.
It's been a long time coming, but change gonna come...
And what a wonderful change it will be...
