STILL WAITING
I thought for those of you who thought I might not be posting because I have had a baby might like to be informed that NO - we are not so lucky! Actually, at this point it's better if she doesn't come yet because my mom's flight comes in Thursday afternoon. All is well. I thought for sure we were heading to the hospital last night. I wasn't sure how excited I was about it though, I kept having visions of Rissie screaming after us as we left her at our neighbors. For that reason - I really hope Mom gets here in time! Oh yeah, and I am sick - might be tricky pushing out a baby while I am hacking up a lung. Good news though, it's getting better. :)
I have an appointment today, which I think I am going to cancel. I see no point in paying fifty dollars for someone to tell me I am still pregnant (...maybe Friday). Jon may need to be told again that we ARE actually having ANOTHER girl. Around here, if your belly grows forward instead of out it's a sign that it's a boy. I've had complete strangers ask me if I was having a boy because of the shape of my tummy. I think it's giving Jon false hope! :)
As promised: WITHOUT the Ted hose.
Where does it hurt?
3/14/05 Lauren's cough continues, and after her heartbreaking cries of, "I don't like my cough." I asked her where it hurt, thinking it could be either her throat or her chest. She said, "Right here." Then mouth wide open she pointed to her throat with her entire hand in her mouth and her finger at the back until she gagged.
2/19/08 This morning, we are eating breakfast when J interrupts the brief silence with a small basement burp. Without missing a beat, Lauren says, "What do you say, Daddy?" He excuses himself, then still in her motherly tone adds, "We don't fart at the table do we?"
Junk Food
9/16/08 Yesterday Lauren learned the difference between junk food and healthy food. So this morning, when she saw Rissie with a piece of candy, she said, "Mom, can I please have some junk food?"
2/9/08 Today Lauren asked me to redo her hair because it was "falling off!"
Cookie Dough
L: (in her sweetest voice) "Mom, can I have some cookie dough please?"
M: "Sure."
L: "Well," pause, "do you think you can get it from the fridge so I can like it?"
4/20/2008 So Lauren got some gum (not a fan) for being a good girl. Later, Jon asked her if she had swallowed it. She said, "No." Then he asked if she threw it away. She said, "No." So he asked her where it was, she told him it was in her throat.
L. and R. have been singing and dancing to their new piano that plays fun tunes. L. has been learning them and singing them around the house. A few days ago I overheard her sining, "Mary had a little sheep, little sheep, little sheep,...
Finding the Moon
Lauren shouts, "Grandma, there is the moon!" She started singing Twinkle Little Star, but in the mean time we had turned the corner and she soon discovered it was gone. So she tells Grandma, "We need to find another moon." 01/13/08
Kids are the best source of laughter
- I was getting dressed and L happened to be there and as I reached for my br_ she asked, "Mom, you put your b__bs on?"12/07
- R had gotten in trouble for something, then after some reflection L said matter of factly, "Well, she's learning."12/07
- L just told Jon to look at her stomach then lifted her arm, pulled down her sleeve, and showed him her armpit.12/07

Ouch, that foot looks painful. I hope you can have your baby soon--well, as soon as your mom walks through the door!
Wow...quite the swelling...hang in there girl...
OH my goodness becky! Good Luck! HA ha don't eat spicey foods!!!
Well, we wish you the best when the big day finally arrives ... do you usually deliver early? You've still got 5 days on your ticker - you've got time! :) How exciting!!
Your poor feet! My feet really didn't like Guad like that either, and after a lady in RS so "kindly" pointed my swollen feet out to me, I drank about a GALLON of water the next morning (and happily saw my tendons again ;) I guess it flushed it all out... for a while.
I hope for everyone's sake, that little girl will hold off until Mom gets there. Much easier.
I laughed about the doctors visit. Sounds like we come from the same philosophy! Don't pay them until absolutely necessary.
I am glad you posted, I was beginning to wonder. (I can hardly wait until you get back in the states!)
Good luck and I hope you make it for your Mom. I hope all goes very well. Em
I've been having some underlying tense feelings in my stomach just knowing that you will be going into labor any day now! So exciting!!! I do hope it doesn't happen until your mom gets there, though! That will make things easier.
Holy smokes Becky, your foot looks like you've been stung by a bee (or two).
I'm hanging on for the big news! How exciting!
Ah, the swollen feet! Good thing sandals are in season in Mexico!!!
I can't wait to hear the good news! You're almost done! :}
