The doctor's appointment this morning went well. She said Jean and Nuke are both looking great and that they're making progress. This was a little bit of a concern on our part because Jean hadn't had any contractions at all, and her colleague who is due three weeks after her has been having them off and on for weeks now. We were starting to wonder what we had done wrong and if we should call the Help Desk and walk through the script:"Have you checked the power cord? Are you sure she's connected to the power strip?"
"Okay, is the power button in the 'on' position?"
"Excellent. Is the power strip turned on too?"
"Terrific. Is the power strip plugged in to the wall?..."
But the doctor said there's a little bit of dilation and noticable effacement (if you don't know what those terms mean, you don't want to know until you have to know - just know they're signs Jean's body's getting ready to evict Nuke). So we went to lunch and the library before I took Jean to work.
Then she e-mailed to say she had her first no-doubt-about-it contraction.
Evidently, this may actually happen.
