Still no baby. But in the meantime...

My mamma flew in from Georgia today so she can be here for my niece's birth. 

The very first granddaughter of the family!

Today is her official due date, but still no signs of labor. 

She's only about a 1/2 cm dilated.

We're all trying to think positive thoughts here and really hope that we don't miss it.

I know all babies have their own schedule, but I'm really hoping the spicy Thai food we had tonight will speed up this process.

I've been telling them to have lots of sex. But I just keep getting an awkward look in return.

Maybe that's not something you're supposed to suggest to your brother?

...

After dinner, The Dizzle and I took my Mom over to my grandparents house for the night. 

It's been over a year since being with Verner and they still call him "Vernon."

They'll get there.

My Grandpa did, however, go on about the "black surgeon" who fixed his head and how wonderful he was, all the while staring directly into Verner's eyes.

I really think that's when they connected.

Anyway, we said our goodbyes, since this will probably be the last time we see them before we leave for our travels.

After 61 years of marriage, they're still the coolest couple on the block.

I'll miss them.

I was going to suggest they follow along with our travel blog, but they've just recently been introduced to the world of email, so I didn't want to bombard them with technology.

...

Though it's been pretty uneventful here, waiting for this babe to be born, I can say I've still been pretty entertained.

I mean, wouldn't you if this is what you came home to?

Fasha. Snoring on the tile floor near the garage entryway. 

Because the six other bedrooms apparently aren't good enough for him?

Good ol' pops.

My life would be so boring without him.
