In case of an Emergency.... Keep driveway shoveled at all times!








And, since we are down to 1 shoveler in the family, Jess got out there this morning and got to work. Thankfully, he did get help from the neighbor across the street who had a snow blower, and from Wrigley of course! Her inside picture, she is trying so hard to get all the snow off of her! She does not like being wet!

Since it is still coming down and we are expected to get another 2-3 inches today, he will have to make another go at it this afternoon. If we don't get it cleared today it will stick around all winter and tomorrow's snow will add to the mess!

Who wants to bet I go into labor in the next 12 hours!!

Why, you ask? Because we are supposed to get anywhere from 8 -14 inches of snow!!!! And more snow Friday, Saturday, Monday and Tuesday! I do not want to deliver from home or in the car on the way to the hospital!!! I want drugs and doctors and a clean sterile hospital room!

At my last doctor appointment, they said my stomach is measuring as if I am 2 weeks further along than my due date says I am. According to the doctors, my due date is in exactly 2 weeks on Jan 1, 2009. So, I could go any day now! Place your bets now! Will it be in the next 12 hours? Just pray that we make it to the hospital safely and on time! And that every one is healthy.

Did I mention that I am having a big baby?!! More prayer! HA!!!

I will post some pictures of the snow this weekend. Maybe tomorrow if I have a "snow day".

Nursery, Belly Shot & the "Final Countdown"












Savannah's nursery!

The dresser was found by L. Bain when they came to visit this summer. There was a free sign on it. All it needed was a paint job and new knobs and it is now my favorite piece in the room!
The crib was purchased by gift cards from the shower in Oregon and the Walkers from church gave us the beautiful changing table and the baby swing! The glider was also "free" we had credit card points that paid for it!

I took full advantage of garage sales this summer too! I would have made my mother in law proud! Anything we have had to purchase after that I used coupons for the stroller/car seat combo along with gift cards! The Lord is so good!

The picture in the top right: I had purchased the basic silver frames on clearance about 2 1/2 to 3 years ago and had never used them. I got the idea to frame some of the cute cards I got at the shower. I only had 3 frames, it was hard to choose. Jesse made the one on the right! She is so crafty!
Then, there is the picture of me! Yes the belly is huge! At my doctor appointment last Thursday, they said I am measuring at full term! The ultra sound I had today predicted that she is weighing in at 7.4 lbs right now and she will probably by just shy of 9lbs at her due date 1/1/09. I tried to talk them into an early delivery. No such luck! My luck she will be a 10 lb or 11 lb baby! Yikes!
