Rick's First Day of School

So yesterday, August 13, was Rick's first day of school/orientation at the Leeds School of Business. He was excited and had a great day. He really liked a class he had to take called "The Art of Small Talk," and met a lot of really interesting people. Jessica and I went to the Spouse/Partner Orientation in the afternoon and then met up with Rick for the welcome BBQ in the evening. We sat with some of the international students and met some of the professors and ate way too many lemon bars for dessert. I think I made some people nervous because they knew it was my due date, but there was no excitement there- I did bring some towels in my purse in case my water broke though.

"I'm so excited to go to school today!"

Still got my balance.

I have had some contractions, but nothing major so while Rick is at school today Jess and I are heading down the road to the Celestial Seasonings Factory. It is about a 1.5 mile walk and part of the tour includes a peppermint room- I hear that strong scents like that can help induce labor? We'll see...
