Update on fines:
My father owes 2 dollars for asking when the baby is coming and an additional dollar for calling and asking to speak to the baby. He will more than work off his fines babysitting for the older children when I am in the hospital.

Whine of the day moment:
Preadolescents are developing sooner every year and evolution combined with hormones in our diets are being blamed. I think evolution would do us all a favor if the human pregnancy was a little shorter. 40 weeks is just about a month too long. The last few weeks are miserable physically and emotionally. If it was a little shorter, it would be the feeling chipper and energetic pregnant woman that I was last month giving birth and not the sore, exhausted, verge of tears pregnant woman that I have become.
