Waiting for Moses Clloyd LaGrande Stevens:
He is due October 11th so all that we know is that he certainly WON'T be coming on that day! As the day approaches I've had to do a few things to prepare.
- Deb & I have agreed that she will ring me to let me know that I must start driving south when her contractions have become a bit regular but are still far apart. This is a good plan cause I anticipate it will take me about 3 hours to get to Deb & Jesse's house considering all the variables of packing, traffic & who knows what.
- I've made sure that Deb has multiple #'s to reach me at.
- I have a list of things I have to do once I get the call: Pack, get gas, & remember to drive safely!
- I put in my time off request from work months ago.
- I found someone to feed Canon & Daphney while I'm away. Thanks Sammie.
- I've tried to prepare by reading many books about how to be the best birth partner that I can be.
- Try to keep up on my wash & house cleaning for the next two weeks so I have enough clean cloths & Sammie can find her way into my apartment without inflicting too much physical or psychological pain on her. Side note on this one: I still have to do my wash & clean my apartment. :) I'm banking on the hope that Mo won't come today.
- I still don't have a camera but I don't think I'll be able to get one before Mo comes so I guess I can cross this one off. :( Plus I still don't know if I can upload pic onto my computer. I keep forgetting to ask the Geeks I know (Andy, Matthew, & Tommy). If any of the wifes of these geeks read this tell your husband to ring me please.
- And now we wait................
Have fun waiting. Hope all goes well with your friend.
