Ready to pop! OR, A working lunch...

Well, today I needed to get some time away from the real world so I hopped on over the bridge to the fantasy life that is Destin. Needless to say, tourism is in full swing and places are packed. So I lugged my techno ruck sack into Panera in the hopes of enjoying a nice caramel latte and a little bit of distraction from impending babyhood. If you havn't heard the news allready, then it is very likely that our little Ava will be coming much sooner rather than later. At the doc's office on Tuesday, Lori was 3cm and 80% thinned out, so for all you nurses and mothers out there, you know what that means. Of course, it could also mean nothing as she could walk around for two weeks like that without ever feeling a contraction. Oy ve!

I think the anticipation is starting to get to me. I don't think I am mentally ready for the possibility of the baby being more than a week early. I've kind of been coasting along with happy baby thoughts and not thinking about the events surrounding little Ava's journey into this world. The doctor's visit shook up my buffer zone a little. Don't get me wrong, I am totally excited to have this baby and am ready to do whatever I have to to ensure the safety and well being of my wife and child, I just don't think I'm ready to kick it into super dad gear yet. We're definitely trying to hold out until after next Tuesday to have her. That would not be the best birth day in the world to have. :) Of course, it's just a day, and we'll deal with it if it is, but come on, give me a break. And as long as we're waiting, after wednesday would be nice also. I have a children's choir pool party scheduled for that day, and I would hate to have to cancel on the kids. Needless to say, I am waiting until the LAST minute to go out and buy all the food and supplies for it.

Anyway, I suppose I should get back to doing some "work" on my working lunch. Planning liturgy can be so tedious when your mind is not in it. :) Oh well, Ava needs a new pair of shoes. (Enter the breadwinner metaphor)

Hope all are happy and healthy on this first glorious day of June.
