And the final tally is...

Four. Morgan and Sophie came over to babysit last night while Erica and I went to a birthing class (more about that in a moment). The tree tipped over two more times while they were here. Morgan confirmed my suspicions that our stand is a piece of junk. We bought a new one today. It is the "Cone of Power" type. Hopefully things go better now. I might even get ambitious and start to put ornaments on our tree.

So the refresher class was good for us. Erica does not want to get an epidural with this baby (she didn't with McKinley and Gavin either), so we have forgotten what we learned about relaxation techniques and breathing. Then we got to go on a tour of the hospital so I know where to go. So we are all set now. Any day the baby should be coming.
