Over the weekend, we went to a peach/nectarine/apricot orchard out in the far east bay. This turned out to be an excellent excuse to take stupendously cute baby photos. If that floats your boat, enjoy!

the deluge continues

Yet more cute baby pictures; this batch off the SLR rather than the years-old point&shoot or the phone camera, so some of them are even “good” in an objective sense.

Miranda and Theda and I are all resting up at CalPac Medical Center, probably to go home on Wednesday. Pictures are here and on facebook.

Beloved girlfriend would appear to be in early- to mid-stage labor.  (7-minute-interval contractions for the last few hours.)  All signs point to baby sometime on the 30th.

You have somewhere between 12 and 24 hours to reach minimum safe distance.
