still in the oven

This is just a quick update about our status...the Doctor revealed (or I guess I revealed) on Monday that I am 3 centimeters dilated and 50% effaced. I went to work yesterday, but ended up leaving about 2 hours early. I started speaking Spanish to the doctors, English to the patients, and when I could no longer even recall what a doctor said to me in order to interpret, they pulled my plug and sent me home. I was just a bit too uncomfortable to focus on anything else...not to mention practically falling asleep in my chair.

Keith's mom, Dale, arrived safely yesterday. So, I have a companion now while Keith is still lost in his books and notes. As I type, his 8th final exam is starting this very minute. (Go get 'em Baby! Kill it!!!) Dale and I plan on running a few errands today, but nothing too crazy because we want Baby D to stay in there until Daddy finishes his last final tomorrow.

Does anyone notice something little and cute in this picture? Baby D...we are ready (eh hem) and waiting!!!

Flo sends her love and just realized you are on soooo accesible via my blog - she cheered this morning when I told her you were doing so great and at work! You crazy! I'd probaly be doing errands as well or hosting one more party!
