That's what my 5 year old had been calling it.  Pretty accurate discription, don't ya think?

We're supposed to go to the hospital at 5pm to be induced.  More than likely we won't have a baby until tomorrow sometime.  I'm a little nervous.  I wanted to start  labor naturally but with my placenta previa now being low-lying, and with it possibly taking 2 hours to get to the hospital (hosp. is almost an hour away and hubby works an hour away from home) and the fact that I normally have rapid labors, the doctors would like me to be at the hospital for this.

So hopefully, I'll have an announcement in a few days!

I'm chuckling aloud at "reduced" accurate indeed! CUTE!

Praying for a safe delivery, and health for both mom and the wee one, as well as for God's blessing on the first few weeks (er... months?) as you adjust and enjoy!

I'm so glad you commented on my blog. By telling me what happened with your dh's parents has helped me a great deal. To know what you are dealing with as far as trying to sort through your in-laws things... I wouldn't want to put my own children (or their future spouses) through that in years to come.
I think is best to go ahead and sort through what I can on my own and just let them pick what they want. (Of course, there are things that I will put up for them for when they are old enough to appreciate them. A 10 year old hardly knows what may be special to them when they are 26!)

I am also thinking of all the stuff *I* have! I guess we all tend to hold onto to too many material things and for what, I am wondering now. I sure don't want to leave a lot of things behind for my own family to have to wonder what to do with it all.

With my mom moving in, I now have all of HER stuff, too... (sigh) My living room looks like a dumping ground.. her things waiting for me to move my dh's things. Things that I do not want to have to sort through right now, but have to, really.

Anyways. Life goes on and we are going camping this weekend!
You said you are in west Ga. I am in SE Ga. About an hour from the coast. We are going camping near Appling, GA with our home school group and it is going to be so COLD!! I think I have everything I need, but I still have to pack and cook. (I like to cook ahead of time so all I have to do is heat the food up, or boil water for oatmeal or rice or whatever. It makes it so much easier on me and I can enjoy myself more instead of trying to cook at every meal at the campsite.

Post on your Blog about the new baby when you feel up to it! I can't wait to hear about him/her. I SO wish I could have a newborn in the house again.. ahh.. I sure miss my dc being babies. I don't even mind those middle of the night nursing sessions. It just seems so relaxing to be the only one up and cuddling the infant. (of course with the twins..... I was probably more in a stupor than relaxed.. )
:-)
So, you rest and enjoy your new one.
