The Calm Before the Storm?

For Melissa, this is anything but the calm before the storm. She’s had a great pregnancy so far by most stretches of the imagination, but at the moment you can almost count toes on the feet that stretch the skin of her belly from the inside. I can’t imagine that’s comfortable.

For me, I admit, things have been very calm. I’ve started to come to terms with what’s about to happen to the point that I’m not nervous about the next 18 years or so… just the delivery part. The delivery part is so out of my hands. (That’s the same reason I never liked flying much.)

We’ve got an updated picture of her belly, I’ll download it and put it on the site when we get a moment.

“Grandma Sue” is coming into town on Tuesday, and we’re looking forward to having her here… while I know she’d like to be in the near vicinity for the birth, mother nature sounds like she’s got a different schedule in mind based on Melissa’s female intuition; which is feeling like this weekend or Monday. Time will certainly tell!
