Nothing Better

Ava smiled at me for the first time today...

We're trying out a new photo site: kodakgallery.com/poppohana
If all goes as planned, the families should be able to download full-quality photos for their use, something Shutterfly does not allow. Let me know what you think.

Oh, and by the way: you will need to enter the password "Po" to access the site. Kodak's brilliant programmers lost the last two letters of our last name. I will remedy this when I get a chance, so if "Po" does not work, try "Popp".

Lost in Translation

Here's something random and non-baby related:

Some friends of ours just returned from a mission trip to China. They brought me back some official Beijing Olympics chopsticks. They are pretty cool--solid wood, gold plated at the top, with the Olympic rings. I had to laugh at the product description, though:

"Family's pant suit's craft's chopsticks"

The Waiting Game

Well, if you've checked today's date and read the last post, you may notice that Tiddle hasn't met the doctor's expectations. Which, of course, became our expectations. So now, even though we're still four days before the due date, Tiddle seems late.

We had some excitement Monday, when Jill called me at the office to ask for a ride home from school -- she was feeling "weird", and feeling lots of pressure. I stayed home that afternoon, reacting to every sound from her, but nothing happened. Yesterday (Tuesday) I was back at the office, jumping every time my cell phone rang. Today I didn't jump. It almost feels as if the moment has passed, although that's obviously not the case.

I'm wishing the doctor hadn't told us to expect an early baby...
