Dexter's Coming!

Good news - we're at the hospital and baby Dex is on his way! Jenny is doing well, and we're hoping Dex will be born late tonight or early tomorrow morning. Right now Jenny is 4cm, her water has broken, and she is enjoying the magic of the epidural. Her contractions are strong but still only semi-regular.

Fortunately we were able to successfully move into our new house on Saturday; thanks to the efforts of many of our stalwart friends. The 96 degree day was a scorcha' for Boston, but we're just happy it didn't rain. Actually we're just happy that the cops helped us find a parking space for our 25 foot truck by calling the owners of the cars in front of our condo and asking them to move. Lucky us. A bunch of our guyfriends showed up in muscle t's jockeying to see who could move the heaviest items - which I think we all agree was the IKEA armoire. Special thanks to Jeff Derrick who prevented me from hitting about 4 different parked cars when maneuvering narrow Cambridge streets!

The move took most of the day, and was complicated by the fact that Jenny and Sarah were busy buying more furniture around the corner while we loaded up the truck. Turns out the senator next door was having a garage sale, and so we loaded up on his cast-offs, including a sweet oversized leather couch that's perfect for the new place.

Thanks again to all of you who helped with the move! Sometime down the road we'll have the official house-warming BBQ - but first things first; we're waiting for Baby Dex!
