Last night

This is the last night mom will be quite so intimately connected with Lil' Genghis.

They're both tucked away (in the same bed, obviously), with contractions scheduled to begin in the morning. Grandma Biziza is keeping an eye on them both until then, when dad will take over and she'll sit, nervously and alone, for hours in a waiting room somewhere. Ouch.

dad is going to sleep, for the first time in a long time without mom, without Lil' Genghis, without girldog and without boydog. This big old house sure seems awfully empty and quiet.

A couple more days, though, and we'll have the TV, the baby crying, the dogs barking, and mom praying for some rest. It's surely something to look forward to.
