Running in Place

Today is the day my daughter is supposed to come into the world, and she's not here yet. It sucks we're losing out on maternity time, since wife has to go back to work on a specific day. We went to the nurse-midwife this morning, and she said that wife is pretty much the same status as last week (not dilating at all). She also said that babies are born on their predicted due-date about 5% of the time, which I understand from poker, means you're crushed. That's fine. She'll get here when she's ready.

Wife has been off of work and totally bored. Mind you, this is 100% opposite of me, whereas I'm happy just lying in bed staring at the ceiling. She always has to be busy doing something. So we made today take-your-pregnant-wife-to-work day. So I dragged her with me to the office to make a few calls and took her to Court. We got there late in the morning session, but the Judge was very nice and went out of her way to talk to us once the court took a recess. I was surprised. It was nice for everyone to finally meet her. We did some Indian food and then just came back to chill, which is when I got in that $1 tourney.

I had fun playing with my daughter last night. She's actually quite responsive now to movement outside the belly. I can sort of rub my hand in a certain spot, and you can tell that she'll kick at it, and then stop. And then when I start up again, so does she. I have a feeling that she is going to be a very active girl/spoiled drama-queen.
