Wife and Baby Update

The big day is slowly getting closer and closer. Allison is still doing really well, but the size and weight of the belly is beginning to cause her a lot of stress. This evening she let many crowded subways pass on her way home before she found one with a little more standing room, and she still got queasy. She also has contractions off and on, but they have been going away after laying on her left side. I think this is normal.

The concept for the short film I am making this weekend arose when Allison thought, about a month ago, that she might be experiencing many signs of early or premature labor. I was horrified at the time, and to be honest, we are still totally unprepared. We have all the baby necessities but nowhere to put it. We won't be able to move into our new house before the end of the month, so our dining room has become baby storage. If worst comes to worst, we can put the bassinet in our bedroom and use a dresser as a changing table, but having a baby and moving are ideas that just really don't go well together.

I know that everything will work itself out, just how is the big question.
