Contractions Increasing, Snow Falling, Patriots Crying

Lacey has been having contractions throughout the day, including 3 in the last hour and a half (as of a few minutes ago--she is sleeping now). She tells me that the intensity of the contractions is also starting to increase, as they are also becoming more and more regular. This whole baby thing is starting to sink in and become a little more real.

In other news, the snow from last week finally melted, just in time for some fresh powder to fall on Saturday. Here is a picture I took on Saturday night. I tried to get my HDR groove going, but I don't think it really helped.

Finally, I feel that this entire NFL season has been a success. Even though the Cowboys weren't able to win a playoff game, and subsequently lost nearly their entire coaching staff to the Dolphins, and even though their bitter division rival went on to win the big game (after losing to the Cowboys in both regular season meetings), and even though Marion Barber didn't get half the carries he should have, and even though I had to hear about how great Tom Brady and the New England Patriots were every single week, this season finally made up for all of its shortcomings on Sunday night when the Patriots lost. What a time to lose their first game of the year.

One more thing - February 5th is my half-birthday (I will be posting a wish list very soon), so if the contractions continue to progress as they are, there is an outside chance of Number Two coming on a semi-special day for me. If he misses that date, the next notable date is February 10th, which of course is (my sister) Amy's birthday. But I don't think any of us want to wait that long...
