For those of you who don't know, tonight is a big big night for the Duck household. After a number of disappointing tournament years, Duke is back fighting for the NCAA Championship! (Quiet UNC fans. Nobody is interested in your whining. Was that the NIT you couldn't even manage to win? I believe it was. Shut it.)
We've been watching the tournament religiously since it began and after an incredible Final Four game on Saturday night, we're all psyched up (and nervous and anxious and will likely bite off at least 4 or 5 nails) for tonight.

And so, for the first time in many nights, I am asking Orange Seed NOT to come. Lately, knowing that she is full term and perfectly okay to make her entrance into the world, I have had trouble telling her to hold off. For so many months we talked about the importance of her staying in and growing strong and healthy, but now...now it is hard not to encourage her to at least start working her way toward an arrival. That said, I'm not holding out much hope that she'll come "early" or even on time. She is her father's daughter afterall. Thank God for induction, otherwise she would probably still be squirming around in there until mid-May sometime, going, "Oh! You mean you actually wanted me out by now? Well, okay, I mean I was planning it and all, but still working out some details. Okay, let me just finish this one thing, ooh, wait, look at these crazy fingers. Ooooooh. How much fun are these? Wait, where was I supposed to go again?"
