April 18 approaches

Today is April 16, 2019. Kris has headed off to Altoona to spend a little time with Katie before Lyla arrives. She had this idea a few days ago, but her departure has been hastened by the fact that Katie is reporting odd symptoms. Her Braxton-Hicks contractions were persistent yesterday until they petered out after a walk, plus she reported "feeling weird" which really got the attention of Kris, a former Maternity Nurse (and of course Mother of 5). Kelsey and I plan to head out on Wednesday morning to be there for the scheduled April 18 C-section, but if there's any sign that Katie is going into labor, we'll leave sooner. We both already have our bags packed and are ready to hit the road at a moments notice. Kurt has to work at Starbucks, so he'll come out on Friday with Courtney and Daniel. Everyone will stay until Sunday, but Kris and I will head back on Monday. Everyone else is camping out in the Brown House, but Kris and I will be staying in the luxurious Altoona Super 8. Can't wait!
