Good news

Amanda got some good news recently when she found out her time off from work is set up differently than she thought. Apparently, it makes me sense to take off about eight (business) days before the due date, rather than waiting until the due date.

All I can say: Whew!

I can't imagine her trying to keep working for three more weeks (holy ----! due date is actually 24 days from today!). I'm amazed at the toll carrying around a baby is having on her here near the end. She's still alert and active and all, but she definitely tires much more easily. And you never know when, just sitting around, she'll get a serious jab from the kid or he'll roll around a little and sideswipe and organ or two. You've gotta be tough to handle that. I'm still impressed at how well Amanda has handled it.

But I'm glad she'll have some time to relax, keep her feet elevated and just take it easy.
