Induction Scheduled...

Well, we are currently scheduled to go to the hospital tonight at 8 to start the induction process. If you're not familiar with that process, you can read more on the Baby Center Web site.

We've got to call the hospital at 6:30 to make sure they have a room for me...once I know for sure that "it's a go", I'll post a note here.

Too funny not to share...

Thanks, Jennifer, for sharing this funny story.

My mother taught me to read when I was four years old (her first mistake). One day, I was in the bathroom and noticed one of the cabinet doors was ajar. I read the box in the cabinet. I then asked my mother why she was keeping 'napkins' in the bathroom. Didn't they belong in
the kitchen?

Not wanting to burden me with unnecessary facts, she told me that those were for "special occasions" (her second mistake).

Now fast forward a few months ... It's Thanksgiving Day, and my folks are leaving to pick up my uncle and his wife for dinner. Mom had assignments for all of us while they were gone. Mine was to set the table.

When they returned, my uncle came in first and immediately burst into laughter. Next came his wife who gasped, then began giggling. Next came my father, who roared with laughter.

Then came Mom, who almost died of embarrassment when she saw each place setting on the table with a "special occasion" Kotex napkin at each plate, with the fork carefully arranged on top. I had even tucked the little tail in so they didn't hang off the edge!!

My mother asked me why I used these and, of course, my response sent the other adults into further fits of laughter. "But, Mom, you said they were for special occasions!!!"

Doctor's Visit

Everything is fine with CC...I'm huge but feeling pretty good for being 40 weeks 4 days pregnant.

It was hard to see anything on the ultrasound since she's taking up most of the space. She's not too big (whatever that means) and is still moving around quite a bit (especially at night when I want to sleep).

Stay tuned....

June 6 Update

I had my non-stress test yesterday and everything is fine with CC and this morning I go for my ultrasound. Right now, it looks like I'll go to the hospital Thursday night and we'll have a baby on Friday (hopefully). She could, of course, decide to come earlier.

Stay tuned...

June 4 Update

I had a doctor's appointment this morning...still no change. So, I have a busy week in store for me: tomorrow I have a stress test to check on the baby; Wednesday an ultrasound to check on the baby; and Thursday (if they can get me a room) they'll start the induction process. I should hear more from the nurse today or tomorrow about that. If they can't get me in Thursday night then they'll try Friday...if not Friday then Saturday. I promise...we'll make sure to keep everyone updated!

June 3rd...

still no baby. So, last night Nutz and I met our good friends, Anne and the Arana's for pizza. Hope CC likes Cogan's Pizza...it's one of our favorite places to go.

June 2nd...No Baby Yet

So far, we've been in June 2nd for 6 hours and 40 minutes...still no CC. We'll let you know if anything happens today.

Gotta love kids...

Period...

A kindergarten class had a homework assignment to find out something 'exciting' and relate it to the class the next day.

When the time came to present what they'd found, the first little boy the teacher called on walked up to the front of the class and with a piece of chalk, made a small white dot on the blackboard and then sat back down.

Puzzled, the teacher asked him what it was. "It's a period," he replied.

"I can see that," said the teacher, "but what is so 'exciting' about a period?" "Darned if I know," he said, "but this morning my sister was 'missing' one. Mommy fainted; daddy had a heart attack, and the boy next door joined the Army.

The full moon...

had no influence on CCs arrival. Nutz and I were sure that she'd want to come on a beautiful full blue moon. NOPE! She already has a mind of her own. So, here it is Friday, June 1 and still no CC.

My next appointment is Monday...assuming she doesn't show her cute face over the weekend. If so, they will schedule an induction. They don't want me to go past 42 weeks.

Stay tuned...

2 days to go....

Nothing exciting happened during the night. I'm still VERY pregnant!

Doctor Appointment Update

Not much change from last week...60% effaced NOTHING else!

Doctor Appointment

I have a doctor appointment at 10:30 today...stay tuned for an update.

Memorial Day Celebration!

To celebrate Memorial Day, we had a last minute gathering with some good friends. Check out the pictures.

4 days to go....

Yep, you guessed it right...still no CC. I feel like I'm going to POP!

3rd Annual Hog Fest 2007

The date has been selected for the 3rd Annual Hog Fest 2007 (aka White Trash Party). Mark your calendars for Saturday, July 28. We've created a blog to keep everyone up-to-date.

6 days...

and no baby! Yesterday, Nutz and I spent the day with my uncle and his family at the beach. It was an interesting sight...a 9 month pregnant lady in a non-maternity bathing suit. :-) NOTE: There is NO picture to document this day.

CC is still not ready to make her appearance...stay tuned.

Happy Memorial Day!

Monday is an important day...Memorial Day, originally called Decoration Day, is a day of remembrance for those who have died in our nation's service. If you see someone selling red poppies, remember, we wear red poppies on Memorial day in honor of those who died serving the nation during war.

Thanks to all who died in service to our GREAT country and to the families who lost their loved ones.

8 days...nothing new to report

other than my being EXTREMELY pregnant. As excited as I am about meeting CC, I'd rather her "cook" as long as she needs so that she's healthy when she gets here.

Happy Memorial Day!
