Shopping list for Easter: Golden raisins, and possibly the makings of a lamb dish. Igor already bought most of the items we need for Easter, and Galina bought a wooden mold for the Easter cheese spread while she was in Moscow.

I'm 38 weeks, 1 day today. Everyone in the house except me is sick with something Igor brought from lab (plus the weather's been terrible lately: 40's and rain, if not snow), so not a good time to have a baby. I recently checked in with two friends of mine who are also expecting. One will have a C-section on Monday if she doesn't go into labor before then; the other will be induced on Wednesday. We'll see when my little one decides to come; she already missed my dad's birthday, which was yesterday.
