Teaching colors requires knowledge of the student’s point of reference.

No dilation yet.  We Remi is still waiting for Anna’s body to release her.  We have a doctor’s appointment on Monday the 30th.  If Anna has not started to dilate we will likely proceed with our plan to induce on April 6.  I did some research on the induction of labor and was surprised to learn it does not actually involve a wooing gesture and a slice of cheese.  Whatever.

I think inducing the baby is nothing more than an ego trip designed to make the doctor’s original due date accurate.  Vegas should seriously get in on this gig.

Anna has been incredibly tired and sore the past few days.  She wakes up from a full night’s sleep feeling as if she never went to bed.  I saw her and can assure you she was, in fact, in bed.  She has been quite the trooper by continuing  to work.  Her plan is to begin her maternity leave next Thursday.  That gives her a full weekend just in case her body suddenly decides to eject the youngin.  And if Remi doesn’t come naturally we’ll just force her out with the impatience of modern medicine.

I am taking off effective Sunday, April 5 to essentially be the  recipient of a beautiful baby for which I had to do very little.  I will be in the room but I will not look.  I will not look.  I will not look.  Clean the messy baby and hand her to me but I will not look.

Nursery pictures are coming soon.  The bones of the room are complete but we have a few little things to finish.  Can you say death metal theme?
