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
