The LW's contractions continue, but other than that, no news is good news. A few relatives have been sneaking around the "don't call us, we'll call you" plan that we set up. I wonder if anyone that's in our immediate nuclear family feels as though we won't call them immediately when something starts happening.

WE WILL. TRUST ME ON THIS.

The labor is moving along slowly, and from what we hear, that's a good thing. When things get rushed, odd stuff starts happening and we don't want any part of any medical intervention. We'll probably go for another walk this evening around sunset and see what happens then.

The LW and I both use MSN's instant messenger service. Just email us if you need the screen names and we'll get them to you. It's an easy way to check in with us during the day and you can tell at a glance whether or not we're out of touch. Also, it keeps anyone from waking the LW up. Something that I feel is of great importance right now.
