Rehearsals

Home looks so sweet from the outside...

Until Christina starts practicing her lamaze techniques.

When she gets tense,

They say I should do whatever I can to help her relax.

It had better be a short labor.

In The Beginning...

It all began...you know how it began. Christina was very excited.

(Just kidding.)

The baby waved hello.

(The big round thing on the right is a head, with a brain and all. The small round thing slightly above the head and to the left is a hand. The curlicue on the left is either a foot, a tail, or intestines...)

We were excited.


Now Christina sleeps a lot,












(That's a lot of sleeping, isn't it.)

The closer the baby gets to coming out, the more often I find her in the bathroom.

(Yes, I'm nosy sometimes, but she leaves the door open...)

Then, often enough, it's back to bed.

(Isn't she beautiful!)

The baby kicks and pokes us both quite a bit, and she isn't even out yet. We're going to have to put a topper on the bed so she doesn't escape...
