"I went to the woods because I wanted to live deliberately. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life;
to put to rout all that was not life and not when I had come to die, discover that I had not lived." ~Henry David Thoreau

Baby Update

My BP is back where it should be! Yippy, that is good news. I wasn't at all surprised that is was 110/78 because I have been feeling a lot better lately. I've been trying to take advantage of Ethan being gone for preschool so I've been resting a lot. Guess it does make a difference! I gained 2 pounds this week so that puts me at 212. My surgery date might have to change to October 4th. I'm pretty bummed about that because I'd really like to have her on a Friday, and the 5th is my late Granddad's birthday. But my doc will likely have to go out of town that day and asked me today if I could possibly do the 4th. So Becky B if you're reading this, our girls might have the same b-day after all! Oh well, I suppose the actually date doesn't make a difference in the long run. It would just be more convenient for most people involved (child care etc).
Ethan and Hailey have this strange obsession with the pap smear equipment in the doctor's office. They always go straight for the drawer where it is kept. And Ethan just loves to climb up on the exam table and play with the stirrups. For months I've been saying that I was going to get a good blackmail picture of him with his feet up in them. Today I brought my camera but he wouldn't do it, of course.

LOL, my kids all sit down and wait for my ob to give them some paper and pensils. He does that every time. When we leave, his office wall is decorated with my kids' drawings. :)

You are so close to having your daughter. Wonder who will give birth first, you or me?

You are almost there wow!!! I hated taking the kids to the doctor but, always did for some reason. Just hope they don't start playing doctor cause my kids did. I had to explain that we don't do that!!!
