Eruptions and Inductions

Susanna and Lucy are all excited about the recent developments with Redoubt, a volcano about 100 miles away from Anchorage.

Susanna came home from school and told us that they are covering the computers with plastic every night. She also carries a face mask everyday to school in her backpack.

Lucy just told me, "If the lava gets on you and you die, then you have to go to a dentist appointment." Also, "If you get hurt, the policeman will climb up the mountain and carry and carry and bring you to the hospital."

The doctor is planning to induce me on my 39 week mark (Feb 18), if the volcano goes it will make this birthing thing a bit more interesting. I haven't ever considered having a child at home....yikes!

Here is a link to the latest updates on Redoubt

Yikes is about right. I will hope the volcano cools off so your baby can come at the hospital. Good luck.
