And Baby Makes...me wait
So yeah, what was that news everyone wanted to know about? Oh right, the baby...
Well, the bad news is there is no baby news, really. Mako visited the doctor on Friday and they said "wow, this baby will be here any day now." I spent the whole weekend with her at her parents' in the hopes of being there for the big moment, but the big moment never came. Now it's Sunday night and I'm back home, alone again, with no real understanding of when the baby is due. I'm just going to go to work each day and hope that "the call" doesn't come at an inopportune moment.
The good news is that Mako is in really good spirits about the whole thing. She had her ups and downs during this pregnancy, and I saw sides of her I never, ever want to see again. But right now she's dealing with the physical and emotional sides of this as best she can. We were able to kid around and laugh about the mystery of the birth all weekend.
Something else we did all weekend was eat. It's ironic that my mother warned me not to eat too much junk food while I'm living on my own, because I eat twice as much food when I'm with my in-laws. Not only are there three solid meals a day, but there's an array of cakes, sweets, donuts, and the like. When I'm at home, I may play a lot of games and stay up late watching TV, but I don't stuff my face because the fridge is almost empty. Meanwhile, Mako's mom bought some roll cake this afternoon and while we were eating it, Mako's sister showed up with her family and even more cake. What choice did I have but to keep eating?
So to my mom and dad and everyone else who's waiting to hear about the baby, I must ask you to keep waiting. Trust me, I will shout any developments from the top of my cyber-mountain. In the meantime, you may prepare my Father's Day presents now because my son should be here by Sunday and he's totally not going to give me anything, the little ingrate!

Yeah, it was super good. There's an entire banana stacked onto a solid chocolate tart. I've had it before, which is why I couldn't NOT eat it again.
