Fellow Bos-Network loyal readers. The following posts, the “phase” posts are emails that are being sent out to my family. They are regarding my sister’s pregnancy, which was the sole reason for coming to Cape Town, South Africa. I hope you’ll enjoy reading these messages as much as you’ve enjoyed reading my other posts. I must tell you now, I will not be doing anything creative such as the quotes. But not to worry, they’ll be back as soon as things get back to normal here. Until then, all the best!

Just thought I’d update you all on Koula’s status. We’ve shipped her off to the hospital where they’re going to induce her. She took a couple pills at 12:00 AM South Africa time and right now it’s 1:20 AM SA time. Mom, Dimitri & Me are all home now. We plan on waking up around 4:30 AM to go to the hospital as they’ll be giving Koula the next set of pills at 5:00 AM and hopefully then she’ll start having her contractions.
We’ve packed a hefty bag, actually a couple bags and a suitcase for Koula. Everything from pajamas to her iPod are with her. We’ll be taking the video camera there tomorrow to film the whole process (thanks Goof for the tripod), so that when they come back and visit us in Chicago, everyone can have a chance to see the birth!
Everyone is doing fine. Mom got a bit emotional, but that’s normal, so there shouldn’t be any concern. Dimitri is keeping cool. Koula seems to be doing fine. We heard the baby’s heartbeat and it’s racing, he can’t wait to get out of Koula. Imagine, 40 weeks with Koula. :-) And I am just dreading having to wake up in a couple hours.
There’s nothing to worry about. Everyone is healthy & happy.
We’re going to cover the entire birth on Film, Camera, Email, Telephone. Everyone will be informed and we’re hoping for the best…soon!
With Love,
Biko
