Hi, my name is Kelly and I write about being a dad. Let me tell you 
Manuscript is complete. April is reading it for the first time.

We´re at the hospital.
April is 4 cm dialated, and it looks like we´re going to have a baby soon.
Last time we arrived at the hospital just in time for the doctor to catch little Alleke, so we´re thankful that this time is proving to be quite different. April is asleep in her hospital bed, and our doctor let me borrow her laptop for a couple minutes to write you this update.
Alleke is asleep at home. Our friend and colleague Amy is having a ¨slumber party¨ with her. When we were still at home, I put Alleke to bed, and I said, ¨Alleke, tonight, I´m not going to have time to sing you a lullaby and rub your back. I have to help mama.¨
¨That´s okay, daddy,¨she said and gave me a big hug.
I´m so proud of her, and I´m amazed at how aware she is of the whole thing. Smart cookie!

OH! I just saw this! Since it´s been two days since you posted that, I am guessing that your baby is here. I hope all is going (or has gone) very smoothly, and that this birth-experience has been delightful for you all. All the best in these first weeks: it´s all so thrilling! I wish Alleke a very special sister-bonding experience, too.

Yeah! We're praying for you all! It is amazing how well little ones roll with it all. I was so stressed about how our then 18 mo. old would handle me leaving to go to the hospital, new baby, etc., but she too handled it so well. It is so cool how kids exceed our expectations sometimes
