Good Morning, Lucky!

You are one day from your due date and Mommy and I are getting a little jittery. During the night, Mommy had some contractions, but they weren’t close enough together to be considered labor contractions, so I’m at work now and Mommy is at home. It is a teacher work day at school today so it isn’t as frantic as a day that has students.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, Mommy is at home, probably playing Boggle on her iPad and having the contraction time app she just downloaded ready to start at any time. I have my phone with me and volume turned up to the max for when Mommy calls, but you might not be ready to come out for a couple more days.

It is time for a meeting…check in later.

8:00 pm Friday

I’m back. Mommy is in the tub relaxing and soaking. She’s been having mild 40-second long contractions for a while, but they aren’t quite repeated enough to be considered early labor. When she gets them she turns on the timer in her iPad, sways back and forth, breathing controlled in and out, until they pass. Earlier in the day, she made oatmeal raisin chocolate chip cookies and has instructed me to bring them to the nurses when we go to the hospital. It may not be tonight, but I have a feeling we’ll be holding you by the end of the weekend.

Perhaps our final dinner before we meet you. Can you find Clementine?

Tuna salad with a plethora of accessories and flavors.
