For my non-Facebook friends, I thought I should note that so far everything is exactly the same: No progress, no baby, no labor, and a decreasing pool of patience on my part. I have an induction scheduled for Saturday am (as in, 12:00 am), so unless he surprises me by FINALLY deciding to come out, [...]
An atmosphere of expectation can do strange things to your mind. I am in a constant state of expectation right now, all centered around that exciting, mind-blowing, awful occurrence so blandly called “labor and delivery.” It’s so strong, that every time I hear the phone ring, I think, “Is this it?” And then I remember, “no, [...]

His khaki pants came home completely trashed, [...]

I thought I’d help myself out by writing a mini-Christmas letter NOW in May, so that I will [...]
It is a fact, anyhow, that Tol never hurried. He was not by nature an anxious or a fearful man. But I suspect that he was unhurried also by principle. Tol loved his little farm, and he loved farming. It would have seemed to him a kind of sacrilege to rush through his work without getting [...]
