Quick Study

Matthew's mother has read stacks of books about pregnancy and babies. That information combined with her medical experience and nursing education should have her very mentally prepared for the upcoming labor and delivery.Matthew's father, on the other hand, has furthered his education by watching even more episodes of The Andy Griffith Show. The goal has been to retain as many of Andy's fatherly pearls of wisdom as possible.

 "You laughed, you really laughed?"

Most likely tomorrow night will be similar in many ways to the night before a big test (PCAT, CPA, SAT, GED, any of the big ones). The often repeated advice is to, "get a good night's sleep", or "tomorrow's a big day, you need your rest". The reality is: most folks have a hard time getting their brain to relax in anticipation of such a big day. Thankfully, there will be an entire hospital staff ready to help Danielle and Matthew pass their test and help keep Mark from passing out.

Tonight Matthew's parents went out with friends for another fine dining experience. This time they were able to include more specific requests in their meal order, such as scattered, smothered, and covered.

 Babies are probably born here every day.

There was great potential for an alliterative local newspaper headline such as "Watkinsville Woman breaks Water at Waffle House". Fortunately for the Waffle House staff, Matthew decided not to make an appearance during supper. However, the headline possibilities and notoriety are appealing, so Matthew's parents plan a trip to Wal-Mart tomorrow.
The countdown to the hospital appointment is now less than 32 hours away, but Matthew will no doubt take his time getting here. So dear readers, please do not panic if you haven't received an update before 6 p.m. Friday or later. Since the mobile post below worked, updates will be posted here as soon as possible.
