Today is *motzei Shabbat*, February 26. Judi’s “due date” was last Friday, the 17th. She’s been having off-and-on contractions for the last five days or so, but none of them has been enough to push her over the edge and into labor.

There was a set of them last night, and another this afternoon, but both stopped. Tonight, sitting here watching the terrible movie The Legend of Zorro (Widescreen Special Edition), she’s had them more consistently… and they’ve been stronger.

We’re hoping that the baby might actually come tonight, but I’ve probably jinxed it by writing this.

**Update**: Yep, it’s jinxed. It’s tomorrow now, and no baby showed up last night. Ah well. We’ll keep waiting.
