very quick

Unfortunately, my recent radio silence has not been because Peanut finally decided to have a birthday. We're still waiting, I'm still getting practice contractions, and my little sister's wedding is getting ever closer.

My plans are to do my dress alteration and shoe spray-painting tomorrow night. My feet are swollen enough that fancy shoes don't sound like a good idea, so I picked up some cheap ballet flats to spray paint silver to match sister's color scheme. The dress mostly fits - I have to let out the sides a skosh and shorten the halter straps, which won't be too much of a problem.

I have a sneaking suspicion that doing these two things will convince Peanut that tomorrow will be the most inconvenient time. I'd hoped that Sunday evening when the power was out, a windstorm was knocking down trees all over town, and we were in a flash flood watch (the road to the hospital tends to flood) would be convincingly inconvenient, but no such luck.

Sigh. Still waiting.
