the grind

spring break is over. i spent the week trying to take care of a laundry list of things in preparationg for f-day (fletcher's arrival), while also trying to relax. we got the car seat installed, finished the border in fletcher's room, bought a diaper pail (the only essential item not received as a gift - to those of you who gave us stuff, thank you), did some house cleaning, and stocked the cupboards and freezer. and i even managed to read a book. john le carre's 'the night manager.' it was good. and the longhorns made it to the sweet 16. also good.

so now it's back to the ol' grind while dealing with the knowledge that fletcher could be upon us at any moment.

sara has an epic headache that will not quit. she's been dealing with some braxton-hicks contractions, which are basically warm-up cramps. the frustrating thing about this is that it kind of signals that labor is near, but doesn't give any kind of time-table. we could still be two weeks out.

oh, we also bought a digital camera with some gift-card money (thanks again), so pictures will be swift and ample. stay tuned.
