It's the middle of the night. Or the beginning, depending on one's perspective. Either way. It's 12:30 am.
I went to bed at 7:30, having been up since 3 as usual. I wanted to try to get a full 8 hours, but when I woke up to get a drink about 11:30, Sarah was in bed too, and still awake.
I asked her how she was doing, and she has been having contractions. Not steady yet, but we're getting there. I'm so excited right now, I just can't sleep. I should be trying... if today is the day, we've got alot ahead of us, and being rested will help a ton. I got up and finished a mix cd for Sarah during labor. (They let you bring your own cds...) I will go to work at 4 if nothing is steady, but I'll be ready to run home if she needs me.
In other exciting news... I GOT THE JOB! Pretty awesome. They made me an offer yesterday, which I accepted. I start on the 30th. So just a few more days of being a valet. I'm very excited. All these changes at once... feels, well... feels like normal. I won't be starting in the restaurant like I first believed, instead, I will be starting in the front office/desk area. My least favourite area, but who knows? I may end up loving it. I can't wait to wear a suit to work.
Well, I'm gonna go try sleeping. Before I go, here's the playlist to the cd I made Sarah for labor. If you want a peaceful, but inspiring mix... look no further. I'm real happy with it.

Aw heck, be bless OUT of Jesus as well!
Only you, my friend, would make a "labor mix". That's hilarious.
But make sure that if she gets annoyed with the tunage that you kill it, lest a song be ruined. And for the love, please make sure it's low enough that the nurses can hear one another!
You know, if I were giving birth (how may ways is THAT screwed up?), the band I'd play would have to be called "maymxt". ROCK ON, BABY BRAH!!!
We all eagerly await the coming of Kiah Emmanuel!!!
I am ready for mine to get out as well.hehe
love ya
