Thanks and somehow I knew I didn't need pictures. Thanks also for clearing it up about the water breaking. I always wondered about that too though. So what, you're just wandering about the house making half hearted attempts to dust, which are thwarted because your arms barely reach beyond the bluge of your tummy when all of a sudden you've got a puddle of water at your feet? Or is there some kind of warning like a little dribble before the flood? (sorry, I've never been pregnant myself, and none of my close friends have been either, so I have no idea how all this works.)

And like Christa says, I'm sure your mom doesn't mind hearing from you all the time one bit! I can't imagine being so far from my mother at such an important time and just wish there was someway either you could be here or they could be there for this.
