So I forgot to mention that we went to Matilde and Sujay's baby shower on the 23rd. It was a lot of fun and we'll include some pics when we have the time! All I have to say is that Sujay needs a lot of practice with the diapers!
Matilde's due date was yesterday and still no baby. The woman is still working so hard that she can't even meet me for lunch. Don't these people know that she could have the baby at any time? That's probably why they are working her to the bone until she delivers. Kind of reminds me of that Pearl Buck novel called "The Good Earth" where the woman is out picking fruit (I think she's some kind of farm laborer) and stops for a minute to deliver the baby only to return to picking fruit as soon as she's done. I think that I had to read that book in junior high and didn't understand why this woman didn't want to take a break. Geez, I still don't understand. Right now, we have a wager on when the baby will be born. I'm hoping that it's not too close to the wedding so that she has time to recover.
Wedding update- this week, we finalized all the details of the rehearsal dinner, scanned in all the photos for the slideshow, printed the programs, and started purchasing gifts for the wedding party. We still have about 60 things left to do in 14 days. Yikes! That means that we have to complete 5 tasks per day. My next big project is seating charts and printing out the placecards. I am very relieved that we don't have to worry about the honeymoon for a month. All we have are plane tickets now. I suppose I'll start doing more on that front after the wedding.

I read "The Good Earth" last year - great book! But the Chinese woman wasn't picking fruit - she was plowing and planting a field. Yeesh. I couldn't even move after I had David - and that chick didn't even have any drugs!
Can't wait to see ya at the wedding!!
Ha ha! I stand corrected. Thanks for the clarification from the literary prof. I read this book almost 20 years ago so I am just relieved that I remembered the title and the author!
