Tuesday marked Natalie's last day of drilling and filling before the delivery. I think she timed it about right. Any longer and I think she would have choked out either a patient or me because apparently the stresses of dentistry are not alleviated by an ever-expanding tummy and an increasingly frequent need to urinate. Go figure.
Natalie has been a real trooper by working for the past 39 weeks, and I'm hoping it pays off in the form of a heightened tolerance to loud, ear-piercing noises in Baby Jones. We are contemplating replacing the stuffed bear that makes womb noises with a high speed drill in her crib.
We celebrated Natalie's hiatus from dentistry with a dinner at our favorite local restaurant, On The Border, where Natalie indulged in a virgin strawberry margarita. I planned on getting a photo, but she pounded it pretty quick. I have a feeling there will be a rapid return to alcohol consumption in my wife's future once she is less one baby girl.
Many thanks to grandpa-to-be, Steve, for his triumphant return to North Academy to cover Natalie's shifts while she is on maternity leave.
We'll keep you posted.

Backstory
Up until October 2008, the Joneses consisted of Natalie (Dentist), Luke (Art Director), and Sully (Demolitions Expert). Then last fall we received the good news that our little group would become a quartet instead of a trio. In July we are expecting a baby girl. This blog will chronicle the hijinks of the Jones family during the ramping-up phase of pregnancy and our new life as it unfolds with baby girl Jones. We hope you enjoy.
