Babywatch

On Sunday our baby-expecting friends phoned to ask us, "Do you have a house yet?"

After rolling his eyes, Richard replied, "Do you have a baby yet?"

He went on to explain that we are just as sick of people asking us if we have a house, as they are of people asking them about the baby (she was due to deliver last Friday).

Our friend then asked, "So if we have our baby, then you'll get a house?"

"Yup," answered Richard. Of course, we all laughed about it.

Last night our friend went into labour about supper time.

Babywatch began in earnest.

As of 1:30 p.m. this afternoon - no baby.

And no house either, for those wanting to ask! Although, I'm going through a house this afternoon with our agent... so you never know...

UPDATE: The place was a complete dump. It needed so much work, I don’t know where a person would begin. The whole upstairs would have to be gutted just to get a dining room and decent kitchen out of the whole thing. Although, it was 1222 square feet, it was just set up stupid. It was dirty, too. I mean a good wall-scrubbing and a coat of paint would be considered an upgrade. What a mess!

Still no baby...

UPPERDATE: The second place was actually quite nice on the upper level. The basement, though, was like a cave with tunnels. I had a hard time not becoming claustrophobic while there. The ceilings were quite low. The downstairs would have to be completely gutted. Richard's feedback: Not quite. Jennifer's feedback: Absolutely not!

Still no baby...

UPPESTDATE: Baby is here! A baby girl! Six pounds and some odd ounces. (Am I the ONLY petite gal in the world to have eight pound babies?)
