Reading the Signs



Thesha went in for inducement this morning, and was told to go out for a walkabout for a while to help things along. We met up at Tim's for coffee and a breakfast sandwich before sauntering around the small downtown (believe it or not, the photo was taken just in back of the downtown). Cuppa took this picture on our walk. Then Thesha returned to the hospital for further evaluation, and we came home. Nothing much was happening when we parted except that the weather had just changed. The sun emerged; the wind seemed to abate somewhat; and, miraculously, we hit double digits. It's actually nice out, springlike — like it's supposed to be at this time of year. Perhaps it's a good sign, a harbinger.

Speaking of good signs, we passed the following on our amble. When we went by again about fifteen minutes later, it was finished and said: "This wall will come down." Maybe that's significant too. I just hope that the next part wasn't true, however, for it added a date: April 21. Ugh!

She's so beautiful, AC. Spring will be arriving in your lives in every sense of the word. Oh how your protective father instincts must be jangling right now. Hang in there and we'll all be waiting for the first heart-warming pictures.

What a special time to have with her just before all the craziness begins.

I was induced early like that with my first. I spent the evening at my parents house instead of going all the way home. I hold strongly to the memories of that night.
