Jerry eats, Jerry sleeps, Jerry poops. Some small but subtle changes – Jerry isn’t falling asleep as rapidly as he did last week. He also appears to have a bit of a rash on his face, which sure makes for a poor sight. Today is his two-week birthday and his mom & dad couldn’t be happier.
I don’t have much choice but to take a break from tracking my sleeping trends… at least in the computer. Jerry is a good sleeper, but naturally wakes up at least every couple of hours. =) He’s been sleeping for the last two, which is very impressive.
Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up.
It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be killed.
Every morning a lion wakes up.
It knows it must outrun the slowest gazelle or it will starve to death.
It doesn't matter whether you are a lion or a gazelle.
When the sun comes up, you better start running.

Eriko called me at 2:30 pm to tell me that the her water had broken and I was off and running. Zack drove me home, I put all our hospital things into the car, and off Eriko and I went. Her contractions were still about 20 minutes apart, so the nurse at the hospital didn’t think it was time. After about an hour of waiting, we were told to go home.
