Well, I pretty much have no desire to write, but I don't want to mooch off of other peoples' journals, so I will write one of my own.

This week was ok. To be honest, I spent the better part of it thinking about having a baby and lately I've had a pretty hard time focusing 100% on school. I was so excited on Thursday when I thought that they were going to induce Kristi. I mean, it really felt like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders. I was pretty dang disappointed when they said that they were going to wait because her cervix wasn't ready. Oh well. I thought the baby would come last week for sure, but it looks more and more like it will be this week, which would be great considering the fact that I only have one day of class this week.

The worst part of this "overdueness" is the guilt that gets worse with each passing day. I'm leaving on March 6th, and if Kristi goes into labor now, the baby won't even be three weeks old by the time I leave. I thought "well, she'll have the baby on her due date, so the baby will be about a month old when I leave." Man, I was way off. Anyway, the sooner the baby comes, the less guilty I'll feel. That may sound totally insensative, and thats because it absolutely is. Sorry.

This weekend was pretty nice. Kristi and I did something on a date that we had never done before: we went to a chinese restaurant. I'm not sure why we ended up going there, but the food was pretty good. I ended up getting kung pao chicken over rice noodles and it was great. I also ended up getting some pretty major stomach pains that night, followed by serious BU on Saturday morning. We topped off the evening by heading to the bookstore to catch up on our magazine reading. I also looked at "The Road" by Cormac McCarthy, but it was too expensive. Why are books so expensive anyway? I mean, I get the whole supply/demand analysis, but are books really that popular that they can charge like $20 for a hardcover?

On Saturday I spent most of the morning getting the yard ready for our bbq and working on getting my garden ready for the manure. I had this idea on Friday that since the weather was so nice, that we would invite over a few couples from the ward and just hang out and eat. So, yesterday afternoon they came over, the kids played, and we sat around eating burgers. hot dogs, and a bit of steak and just talked. It was great. The wind had blown quite a bit in the morning, so all of the smog was swept out of the valley and you could see all the way across to the other side from out back yard. The last couple left about five hours after the "party" started and I think both Kristi and I were exhausted because we went to bed pretty early.

Today I let Kristi rest at home and I took Adam over to the grandparents's house. They both seemed to be doing well and Grandpa gave me some good gardening tips so my garden won't be a total disaster like it was last year. Grandma looked a lot better than I have seen here lately and she didn't even fall asleep while I was over there. They have the perfect backyard for kids. I think I could probably let Adblow run around out there and he would be happy for hours. It would be nice if he had some cousins around here to play outside with. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to wait for Brody to get bigger so they can play together.

Anyway, I'll let you know when the baby comes. Hopefully it will be in the next couple of days.
