Waiting on Baby

There's been no significant baby activity yet. Today is Laura's official due date. She had a follow-up visit with her doc on Friday, and apparently the doc said she'd be very surprised if Laura made it through this weekend without having the baby. We'll see. If nothing happens today she has another visit and they'll talk about how long to let it go before deciding to induce labor. I don't think it'll come to that.

There's been lots going on this week. Laura had her "retirement party," on Monday. Things went well, and she wasn't too sad to be potentially calling it quits with work for good. I've been wrapping things up with my work (done at the end of the month). Things really slow down at the end of the academic year. I don't have any more talks to give, so it's mostly administrative stuff now and preparing to usher the next year's chief resident group in.

We also have been working on buying a lake lot in Willmar. I got the financing in order with our bank, and we just met up with my dad yesterday to go over the paperwork for submitting an offer. We'll see what happens. It is quite exciting.


Yesterday we also got our families together up at Jen and Lucas's place. Azalea hadn't seen her cousins for a while and she had lots of fun playing with them. She especially liked Jonah's castle bed. She kept climbing up there and got quite mad when we'd pull her down. She was very gentle with Logan and even gave him a hug and a kiss! It was pretty cute, and we're hoping she'll be that loving with her new baby sister. Azalea was also very thrilled when Emily gave her one of her care bear doll's to keep. Thanks Emily!

Emily just graduated from her kindergarten class. We got to watch a video of the ceremony, including Emily's costume and singing, and got to have some of her graduation cake. Congratulations Emily... or Felicitaciones Emily, Estamos muy orgullosa de ti!
