Well, we're officially on 'baby watch' here at Chez Chaput. One of Donna's neices (whom she helped raise) is expecting her second child and began having contractions last night. This was the second time she thought something was going to happen, but again it proved a false alarm. Her doctor says that she will probably give birth next week, but you can never tell with these things. Naturally, every time the phone rings we jump. The 'plan' calls for Donna to be at the hospital with her neice, until her husband can get there from work (he works for the MTA as a bus driver and he just can't leave the bus, as much as that may surprise regular riders :-). The mom-to-be's own mother will be taking care of her grandson while the action takes place.

Much to my surprise (and amusement), Donna has actually signed up to be text messaged when the Scott Peterson jury comes in with a verdict. She and I are both in agreement that her being between jobs is beginning to get to her. She is actually reading the Court TV "Peterson trial blog", which I find funny since she usually doesn't read mine.
