Eric and Lisa

Just about three weeks now...and maybe sooner. The baby "dropped" a week ago, so according to averages, his time could be coming within two or three weeks of that event -- which is one or two weeks from now. We'll see what happens. There's really nothing one can do at this point, you know? Eric is working really hard to get as many of his school affairs in order as possible, so if there is an early surprise, it won't be a catastrophe on his semester. I'm proud of how well he's held up this semester with eveyrthing going on -- renovating the bathroom, teaching a graduate class, doing research for two labs on campus, writing qualifying papers, and applying for a grant/fellowship. He's like superman!

And he's getting sillier by the day, too. On Saturday, he had been working on the bathroom floor board trim, and stopped to eat lunch with me. We split a grapefruit for dessert, and it was quite a juicy one. At one point, I looked up from my own half of the grapefruit to see him staring back at me with his huge work goggles on -- to protect his eyes from the grapefruit squirts! It was such a funny sight, I laughed so hard I cried. And it felt good.
