Rats!

As Charlie Brown would say.
Looks like our predictions were off, 2 days past due date and no baby. The good news is I am off school this week for Thanksgiving so Bon won't have to be alone all day. She is feeling pretty cruddy, on top of being in her 41st week she caught a nasty cold I had last week. We are heading to an appointment at 10:30 tomorrow to see if there is an update, if nothing happens this week it looks like we will go in Friday and she will get induced.

Last weekend we went up to Lake Allatoona with the dog to get away a bit, had a great time and the weather was awesome. Ruby went nuts the whole time, I added a video of what she did for an hour straight.

We had our Last Supper at Anticos with our small group on Wednesday. With Bean coming, basketball starting up, and the Davis'/McEwins driving an hour every week it was time to break. Hopefully reunite at the hospital SOON!

  

Bonnie and I went to Scalinis last night. They are famous for serving a dish (Eggplant Parm with garlic rolls) that cause labor to start early. If you have the baby within 24 hours they give you free dinners and put your baby picture up on the wall. It didn't work but the food was awesome and we had a great time! My vote it to go back every night until its showtime.

 

 

Ruby joined us for Church this morning, which was cool, apparently even dogs don't get bored listening to Andy.

So, those are the updates. Bonnie and Vanessa went to Twilight on Friday night, Jon joined me to scout a basketball game. I talked to Brian Gregory for 10 minutes or so, really cool dude. We play Riverwood on Tuesday for our first game. We went to our JV game yesterday, they won easily.

Alright, next blog is going to have some real updates. And possibly a new blog name...

Countdown

10 days till due date! Bonnie feels more than ready to get this thing going and meet little(ish) Bean. As I am sitting here on Election Day (day off) and noticing it has been well over a month since we typed any updates I'll try and go back and hit a few things...

- We went to an all day class 3 weekends ago and a breast feeding class 2 weekends ago in Buckhead. Very informative. The teacher reminded us of Grandma Clark in her unintentional humor by being so straightforward/borderline offense at times with her comments, she was really good for sure though.

-Bonnie has been feeling better the last 3 or 4 days. Mary and Laura were sweet to send a foot pillow to help prop her legs up, swelling has been a pretty big symptom. She took yesterday off work to meet Natalie for breakfast and today she gets off at 1, not working as many of those 12 hour shifts has helped a lot. I would probably equate trying to keep Bonnie off her feet as probable as trying to get Sandy to talk when no one was around as a child, but hey I can always try!

This was last week, thankfully has not been as bad this week

-Bon did have two appointments in 4 days last week, Dr. Cook was concerned with her swelling and hinted she may need to stop working, then one of the other 3 docs saw her the next one and didn't seem to think it was a big deal. That pretty much sums up her feelings about the process, frustrating to hear different things from one appointment to the next plus them having to leave so quickly (as they both did last week) for births has made it a bit stressful. Good news we keep saying is they will be there immediately when called for Bean

-This Friday will be her last day of work (November 9). I'm calling an 11/11 showtime, Bon is hoping for this Friday. Who knows???

-Recent baby purchase: The Yellow Thing, as Phil and Susan call it (or 'The Snugabunny' as I sheepishly asked for on the phone to Babies R Us, which led to Bonnie almost laughing herself into a birth). Without succumbing to any more baby lingo I'll call it the moveable bed

-In other news, basketball cuts/practice started last Monday so it is nice to have a day today to get a few things around. We will head to her Dr appointment, to vote, and get me a shot here this afternoon.

-School is crazier than ever. Ms. Wallace, Mr. Jackson, and Ms. Spence are all gone so the department is down to Mr. Frazier and myself, meaning I am having to get the subs set up every day. We made the news too when Ramir (the midget) brought a gun to school
