In the meantime, I think most 12 month olds are NOT wearing shoes. 12 months is average (I think) for *starting* to walk. And beginner walkers don’t need shoes (except if you go for things like Robeez, which I personally do). Typical shoes are a bad idea for kids to wear all the time, esp new walkers. My husband prefers barefeet, which is also rec’d by docs. Anyway, if the kid isn’t walking yet (mine wasn’t till 14 mos), booties would still be used if it’s winter/spring/fall. But also, few 12 month olds actually wear 12-mo sized clothing. 12-month dress probably would have barely passed my daughter’s diaper at that age–some think this is cute but I think dresses should reach almost to the knees on babies rather than showing off their undies (diapers). And all the sweaters I made? The arms were too short by the time she was big enough around to wear them…..sizing is so arbitrary for babies!

Since your track record for longest labor isn’t going to win you any sympathy you might need this tactic. Other fun includes getting daddy to paint your toenails since you obviously can’t and you want to look your “best” at the hospital. Be patient, maybe you are just getting a really cute baby and God’s putting the finishing touches – you know the twinkle in his eye and the perfectly arched eyebrow. They take time. BTW aunt Ramona’s best friend in TX had a girl after her DR husband had let her ultrasound herself silly throughout the whole pregnancy. There were at least two absolute positive shots. The room was blue, the name was stensiled on the wall, the baby was a girl. The joke’s on us if we think we know what God will do. Love Mom
