coming soon (sooner than we thought)

Things are shifting. Meredith has been feeling very crampy since Sunday, and called the doctor last night to discuss. The baby's coming soon, probably within a week if not sooner. While she would prefer to have Meredith make it at least through the weekend, if she went into labor last night, the doctor would not have stopped her. Obviously, that didn't happen. But, bags are getting packed, one for Meredith and one for Birgen.
