The Good Kind of Waiting

After the earlier post the contractions let up in their intensity a little bit and Mandy was able to sleep fairly well from 6-10. Since then we all took a walk (see picture below) to help keep things moving. The contractions are still coming quite regularly, but the intensity varies. We talked to the midwife and she said that everything sounds like it is progressing nicely for early labor. Hence, we are waiting, playing Scrabble (I will most certainly lose), and waiting some more. But, it is the good kind of wait, the type where you can begin to see the light in the distance, the type where you know you have almost reached your goal. In our case, the goal will be very sweet indeed.
