It's hard to think about anything other than your imminent arrival these days. None of us - me, your dad, or your grandmother - really can. Last night we were pondering what to make for dinner, and we eliminated options that we thought might take a long time because we didn't want to be in the middle of them when we went into labor. Your aunt K and uncle S are still in Macon, and they want to know when to come, and I know that they need at least 8 hours notice if they are going to make it here in time for your birth, but I'm afraid to tell them to come because I'm just not at all sure I know how long it will be. I understand why people schedule inductions. I'm not ready to do that, but I get it. In the land of small blessings, though, I slept really well last night; at least, for someone who has had to get up to pee every 1/2 hour by day for the last two days, and every couple hours by nightfor a few nights. I only got up once in the whole night! And at 8:06am, your dad and grandmother are still sleeping. Your dad seems peaceful, and that's truly wonderful. I wondered if he'd really be able to catch up on any sleep before you came. So these moments are precious; nonetheless, we're all really hoping that the next moment will bring an unabashedly real contraction. Sigh. Please come.
Love, Mom

I'm thinking about you constantly, even during employment law and family law! Can't wait to meet Jonah, and I am anxiously checking for the "He's here!" post!!!
Sweet boy,
This is your Mrs. Auntie Mama Pajama. I know you are very comfy... but there are some very anxious people who want to go ahead and meet you!!!
And we don't want your mom to have to start eating eggplant. ;)
