The water is broken.

Standing in waiting room with adam and dad. Adam got me iced coffee' now I'll be wired.

Still waiting on doc to come break her water, should be anytime now. Her contractions are a little more intense and closer together now.

Vicki was the first visitor at 705 am.

We are starting the day 2-3 cm dilated 70% effaced.

Just walked into the hospital.

On the road to eldo.

I've got my blogger account set up through text on my phone. This is my backup in case Facebook is unaccessible by my ipod.

Sometimes We All Need Perspective



I know, I know. All politicians do stuff like this. I just wanted to make sure you know Obama is not above doing it either.

Update:
Just to put this in a better context... guess how much $100,000,000 is to $3.5 trillion. I know that's pretty tough so let's reduce the Obama budget to $35,000. So what kind of a reduction in a $35,000 budget would you have to do to achieve the same reduction Obama is talking about? Yep, you guessed it, one whole dollar. So basically Obama is talking about reducing the budget by 1/35,000. It's like my family reducing our budget by $2 in a year. Hardly newsworthy. He could have easily picked a bigger number like $1 Billion, but that wouldn't have sounded as big as $100 Million! Unfortunately this type of crap wins uncritical and ignorant people. "Wow, Obama is really working to reduce our government's expenses!" Yeah right.
I would be slightly impressed with a $100 Billion dollar reduction, but $100 Million is chump change.
