I look across the table at my wife during another delicious meal and wonder if you really could cut tension with a knife...
Ok, it would have to be an incredibly sharp knife and the person doing the cutting would have to be a master swordsman. But, it could be done.
Really though, we are doing fine and surprisingly not freaking out too much at all.
Dana had a doctor's check-up today for which we had high hopes. In the realm of mankind and medicine though, we must learn to keep hope out of the picture.
What I'm trying to say is that the doctor's appointment today didn't come back with the results we were hoping for. "That child is literally about to burst out of you at any second!" the doctor screamed.
Nothing like that.
"Everything is fine and on schedule," says he. "And what, pray tell, does that exactly mean," says I.
Who's schedule are we talking about here?
I would like to know this schedule of yours for you seem to know, or claim to know, precisely when this child will be born. Is this some kind of medical industry standard, to keep a first-time couple in the dark here?
I know the answer to this but seriously, let's be a little more encouraging in our practice sir.
Anyway, Lord willing, the baby will come some time in the next two weeks.
All is well and going swimmingly.
Stay tuned folks.

ummm, should the person cutting tension with a knife be a master swordsman or a master knifesman?

Somehow I'm not surprised that you will be documenting this momentous occasion via a blog -very cool and actually thoughtful for those of us who are so far away from all the action. Thanks!
I'm sure you were anxious to hear some 'breaking' news yesterday (get it; breaking as in water breaking?) but this child will show up when he/she is good and ready. By the way, my bets are that it's a 'he'. Anyone else? Also, right now I'm guessing 8 lbs. 12 oz. (the same weight that my first baby was) so let's get in on this everyone, eh? Love you guys. Mom
SMitch..I am also thinking it's a boy!!!
By the way this is Michelle not Johannes that thinks it's a boy.
The baby will be elvish, with blue eyes, and silver hair and a bow and arrow in hand. It will be a he, and he will weigh 7 lbs, 3 oz.
