alicia and rick

we're about at that point where everyone is asking whether the deed is done. the days continue to slip away, but so far he has not ventured out of his home in alicia's tummy. the other thing i keep hearing is to enjoy my sleep because i will not have normal nights again for a long time. i am not a fan of sleep unless (i) i am already in bed and asleep or (ii) it's a nice warm afternoon and i want a short nap - otherwise i feel like it's a waste of time and i wish i didn't have to. maybe that's a sign i've been in hk too long.

it's another week of beautiful weather while i'm stuck in the office, followed by rain on friday and saturday, before more beautiful weather forecast for monday. funny how that works.

i think we are as set as we can be, both mentally and with all of the "stuff". i know most of you have gone through this process before, but somehow it doesn't seem to translate until you actually experience it. i'm looking forward to that with excitement and a little trepidation.

will keep you informed and post pics once the little guy makes it out.
