Project Xerxes is a GO!

When cuddlyeconomist woke up this morning and she went to the restroom, her water broke... At her last appointment on Monday she was already starting to dialate, and earlier this week her mucus plug started coming out.

After a few moments of panic, we got everything under control again and started getting ready to leave the house. We called the doctor, the doula, our friend who is going to take care of Rhys for us, and the parents. We got the last things packed, and got Rhys ready for his "Frog-marching" camp. Once DrB talked to the doula and she was sure it was in fact the water breaking (rather that some completely unexpected dire medical emergency), she calmed down quite a bit.

Rhys, however, remained fairly freaked out. He was pacing like an expectant father, going in and out of the house, giving his stuffies rousing speeches of fortitude in the face of battle. He should be a lot less freaked after a day of frog-marching with other kids...

I had enough time this morning to get the house in shape for when we get back with der Xerxes, and Rhys will be staying the night here with our friend in any case. The car is packed, and the doula took DrB for a walk leaving me the time to take a shower.

They are back and I think we are on our way to Swedish.
