@sandburm - With Braeden I was miserable at the end, begging to be induced, but he was 2 weeks late. With Eliana, I remember wanting to have her already but also concentrating on my Grandmother down the street who had just gotten home from hospital so I was sufficiently distracted. I am just so tired of my ribs always hurting, unrelenting. Plus I really would like for him to come when Eric is here and the thought he will wait until Eric is just on his way out of town for the week eats me up. Trying to stay positive, I know Garrett cannot stay in here forever but I get weak at times.

Yes, the package arrived this week. Everything was super cute. Thank you so much, especially for the fact that the sizes are a bit larger. I spent the past couple days sorting through and washing clothes from my BFF Leslye and from Clarissa and from the shower and the couple things I just had to buy myself and, by golly, Leslye really loaded me up on the 0-3 months from her twins and I have a good start on 3-6 so it was great to see cute things to look forward to a little down the road. I have a T.Y. card addressed but was waiting for Eric to come home so he could see everything too.

I am glad you mentioned the e-card. I am really bad at checking that email account and had not seen it (there were nearly 300 new emails in there). I do have a printer and will see about getting it printed tomorrow. Thank you so much, it is so very kind of you and much appreciated. Not exactly sure what it will be used for as of yet but it is a great comfort to know that when the inevitable occurs and we realize we do not have something that will end up being important, it will not be a struggle to get it.

I will let you know when we see the movie if I notice us in it at all. We are just part of the crowd and were only there for one of the half dozen crowd shooting days. I will certainly also be buying the DVD when it comes out and be looking frame-by-frame to try to find us. If we are in it, I may have to send you and autographed copy, LOL. I do know for sure that some friends of ours from down here made the cut in some bigger scenes as well as the croud. They are big movie buffs, have been in several as extras and one works for an alumni from the college it was shot at so they got placed in some special scenes. You can see one of them right behind and to the left of Andie McDowell in the stadium scene in the trailer... he is the big guy with the reddish goatee and yellow wig.

@just4bees - that is great, I know he had some really nice outfits in there to. I am glad you guys are able to get school clothes for the kids, We are going to try to do the angel food thing next month since tommarow is the deal line for this month and we just do not have the $30. So i am going to the food bank tommarrow. since we have been here it has never been this tight and then with prices going up it is crazy. We are hoping to save some and go to the outlet store to get some clothes atleast one or two outfits for the frist day. Anyhow enough rambling on your blog I am going to get off here and get the chicken going for dinner.O yes was that diaper stacker in the bags of stuff that we gave you?

@just4bees - o good I wanted to make sure it was there. I told you could have it and I could not find it here.

They could induce, sure. I am really trying for an unmedicated, intervention free birth. We will see what changes after I go late :(

@opster25@momaroo - I would love for him to be here and we are all hoping for that but more important is that this little guy makes a safe entrance into the world and if I could afford it, that would have been with a direct entry midwife at home but since I have to use insurance and therefore hospital, I need for the birth to be as hands off as I can manage.
