Update

Can anyone else not see the baby ticker? I can see it, but for a few minutes I could not. Well regardless, it says 1 week and 4 days...not very far away. I am in Starkville this morning. I am here for a conference for work. Yesterday afternoon I threw caution to the wind and just threw my stuff in a bag and drove up early to stay with Calen and Maribeth. I was debating whether to come early...I would have to pack and miss my favorite TV shows. I had several people encourage me to go because it might be the last time I can just pick up and leave. I am glad I came. We went to Little Dooey's (bbq), RUF last night (Reformed University Fellowship, for those who don't know) and then mystic bowling until midnight and then back to there house to eat cheese dip and talk until 2 AM. Of course, I could not sleep in so I got up and went to City Bagel.

Ok, so I left out the really good stuff. As I was driving in I got to talk to Katie and get a doctor update. She is progressing, though the doc won't give an estimated date yet. She told the doc that she needed to know a date because she wasn't having that baby unless we were there. We told her that we were going to come early. I could tell she was glad. I really need to get our tickets today and reserve the rental car. So much to do, so little time. I am also going to have a dig up some warmer clothes. I should have lifted some from Calen's closet while I was there.
