I flew home that next Saturday, February 28, but Barb stayed in Atlanta attending to Reya, Penny, and Ben.  I felt I needed to get home, honoring our original airline tickets, to be in proximity to Kari in case she delivered.  Alas, baby Kelly is taking its time, providing provocative rumblings, but no results.  Barb flew home on March 4.  Baby Kelly, still lurking.  Kari is ready.  Eric is so, so ready.  Kari is still teaching.  She serves till her due date, March 13.  She looks great.  Healthy.  But she is so big.  Her ankles and feet are swollen.  Have this child now, Kari.  Come, baby Kelly, come.  We all await you. Please give your host, my beloved daughter, relief.  Come, baby Kelly, come
