Mom,

Got to sleep in this morning. I was really tired and thought it would be goof for them to have a morning together without me. They made out all right. Nana doesn't watch Drey very well and fell down 3 times, once of which was off of the couch. I realize you can't be here, but I can still wish you were.

I haven't started having any contractions yet, but I wish they'd start soon. I was telling Nana that I hope the baby comes during the day. Everything looks scarier at night and better during the day.

I guess they're not sure about your left eye. The pupil responded quite well, but you can't open it. I supposed we'll have to wait to see what happens with it. I hope it will be fine.

Nana's really stuck as to whether or not she's going to stay for Christmas. She knows you need her, but she doesn't want to neglect Les either. Guess we'll wait for her decision.

She sure isn't happy out there. She feels maybe it's a twist of fate that has kept her away from there so much in the past 6 months. We'll never know, but she's said that she really misses her little apartment and her job. I'm pretty sure that she'll stay with Les, but I think it would be better if she could leave.

I had my last outing last night. Florence came and picked me up around 6:15. We took a couple of pairs of socks up to you and then went over to Kevin and Cheri's to see them and Sheldon. We stayed there until 9:30 and then we went to the lodge. I saw my trainees for the last time and picked up my moss bag for the baby. She dropped me off around 10:45. Darrin was still up waiting for me, hoping that something had changed. Dary had taped Knot's Landing for me so I watched that and then went to bed. Nana went to bed at 9 and Dary went to bed when I got home.

Uncle Rick and Rita are coming down this weekend, and I'm pretty sure Terry and Cliff are coming down. You've lost your will right now and Dad figures you need some new faces. I hope Terry's helps you feel better.

You know, I don't if Nana bs's or what, but she got home from the hospital and says how awake and alert you were, but when I go up you only open your eyes a couple of times. I think Nana describes your visits the way she'd like them to be, not the way they are. Dad and I seem to see and describe things the way they are. It's hard for me when she says you're so responsive to her and not to me. I'll just have to take it with a grain of salt.

Nana asked for a puff off my smoke today. I told her no, and made up some lame excuse. Ever since she got here, we've been emptying the ashtrays right away and putting our smokes away. She hasn't asked for a while, and I wish she wouldn't. She informed me that she would go out and buy her own. I told her that would be fine because it's her decision, not mine.

Well, I should sign this off. I'll write more to you later.

I love you. Twyla
