Down to the Wire

It's 5 weeks till my daughter, Becky, is due to give birth. She told me today me that she can tell that the baby has dropped. And while at work yesterday, she was having some uncomfortable Braxton Hicks contractions. Which will come first—graduation from the social work master's degree program at SUNY–SB or giving birth?

She feels well; she doesn't have preeclampsia, as I did during my first pregnancy—the one that produced her. I'm so excited that she plans to breastfeed; I breastfed her and her two younger brothers. And she's come up with a solution to the cosleeping issue. Li, her husband, would be happy to have the baby sleep in the bed with them, as would Becky, but he's very afraid that he would roll over the baby and smother it. Becky found a bassinet that's the height of their bed and is like a little sidecar; it will open into their bed. Smart young woman, Becky is. :-)

I can't wait to see just how adorable my first grandchild will be!
