  • Ecuadorian Baby

    Just
    to prepare you ahead of time, I will not be posting for a bit — going
    into the hospital early early tomorrow morning – scheduled for
    induction to have my baby
    (hopefully) unless they bump me because they’re too busy … so if
    posts suddenly stop for a while, that’s why, and I’ll be back to them
    ASAP.   Thanks for your patience/understanding.

    Mientras tanto [meanwhile] – ¡Hasta pronto!
