The water broke very impressively (all household towels used) last night and they are about to take a walk (1800 edt) under midwife's orders. If it doesn't progress significantly by tomorrow morning they'll go to the birth center anyway, which is one hour away from their apartmement in Burlington VT. All the boxes are packed, Isaiah finished addressing the last of the birth announcement cards this afternoon and (like father like son) the child is Prompt!

Gotta go hop in my transporter and beam myself to the East Coast now. Aaaarrrghhh.
Love my sister and brother. Love my nephew. Leaving now (in spirit).
