i can't wait to see her (& you) tomorrow (yes it's past midnight where YOU are...) i however did NOT make it to tampa like i'd hoped...i'm in a hotel in phoenix...yay! :o(
thanks!!! they really did turn out great! btw, which movie did ya'll get for brett so i know what to put on his list of gifts that everyone could get him..
Congrats! She's beautiful! You know they do look little in their beds and in no time they'll be jumping in them in the morning waiting for their breakfast. Enjoy EVERY minute of it cause it goes so fast. Congrats again!
Haha, that was so random tonight... I'd thought about commenting on here but I didn't... so here I am now, commenting. Um... Lana is B-E-A-U-tiful and I, too, cannot wait to hold her!!
Hey Monica, it's Hannah Schug. Congratulations! She is beautiful, and I have to say, you looked pretty good after 13 hours:) I'm glad everything is going well.
Congratulations, Monica and Joey! I can't wait to see her. And I love, love her name. It is a lovely tribute to a lovely woman. I have very fond memories of her. Best wishes.
Lana is one lucky little girl to have a mom and dad like you two!!! i can't wait to meet her and help spoil her rotten... :) got the pic and she is a cutey face.
and still nothing. no dialation. no effacement. no dropping. no inkling that she's remotely ready to get out. so for all hopes of the full moon last night having some effect on her were null. oh well. gives me some time to finish up some things around here.
just figured i'd let people know what was up.
ok, joey just got a call from best buy where he could potentially be working for the geek squad and a couple of weeks ago, he got his scores back from the post office exam and he did really well on them, so if we could get some prayers that either one of these two jobs will pan out, it would be much appreciated. he's been trying really hard to find something new (something that pays more, has benefits and doesn't send him home every time it rains because the paint won't dry) and he's been really stressed. hopefully if he lands one of these two jobs, he'll start sleeping again :)
i have reached that last and final phase of the pregnancy...the one where i'm stinking sweating all the time, hungry half the time, crabby most of the time and tired. its times like this that i believe every pregnant woman wishes they could go back in time and find eve and take whatever fruit she wasn't supposed to eat and pelt it at her head. but other than that, i'm good :) for all those of you who would like to have kids let me remind you that while in the winter it may sound good to have a baby, remember that nine months later puts you into the middle of the very hot summer (especially in florida...i think my car temp registered at 103 today). but anyways, baby is doing good, but still hasn't come yet, and as of this saturday, she'll be ok to come anytime, cuz her little lungs will be finished.
in other news, went to the bank to deposit some very generous checks people have been giving us only to find out that my account is not even remotely close to what my balance ledger says (and i'm an avid checkbook balancer, cuz i forgot my online password); so needless to say, i'm sort of freaking out thinking that someone stole all of my money. so i get to go up to the bank and check that out tomorrow. hopefully they'll have pity on a pathetically huge overemotional pregnant woman who's fixing to go on maternity leave and needs to know that she has money in the bank to cover the cost of diapers.
hopefully the next post will be more positive...like maybe my stomach muscles won't be lugging around a heavy baby and i get to see my pretty girl's face :)
**update on the banking thing: ok so i'm an idiot who, although i balance my checkbook regularly, i don't always go in the correct date order, which can really mess with the balance that you think you have...especially when a check bounces and then they nail you 4 times in one day for overdraft fees...it just happened to be grocery day :( oh well, i got it fixed and now have overdraft protection :) and they gave me some of my money back since i've never ever overdrafted before...it sucks being poor.
YEAH! hold out for 20 more days!!! or not, i would be ok with just sharing my birthday month with my peanut niece! oh and you have a special package in the mail from me to you! (and the peanut of course) can't wait to meet her! i am hoping you have someone who will call or text me the instant this baby business starts.. ok good!
awww, i love you mon! your post made me smile...although i'm sorry you've been so uncomfortable! and financially...curses on banks/money! AND eve! ;o) hang in there & hopefully get to see you soon!
i can't wait to see her pretty face too! I'm still working on when I can come down, but now that I've seen that you really are pregnant ( :) ) I can't wait to get down there.
Wow! I can't believe it's already ALMOST time for the baby!!!!! You need to post of pic on here of your pregnant self! When I saw you in Feb., you weren't even showing yet. Hope you got the bank straightened out....I don't know what I'd do without online banking! Hang in there girl, I'll be praying for you and your little girl!
