D-Day

-
A Monday appointment @ 11 AM turned into a "You're having this baby at 4:30 today" appointment. It was the first appointment that Kent was going to miss because of an exam, but he ended up coming after the exam. First example of God's hand in the situation. 

Here we are sounding the alarms! Texting and calling family members. The first text said something like, "Baby Suits will arrive today at 4:30. Please no texts or phone calls while we process this" and an hour later "Ok, we are ready for texts and phone calls". Kent's sister was the first to respond less than a minute later with, "AHHHHHH!!!" 

 I knew there was no way of telling my parents. They would just find a picture of Baby Suits on their computer the next morning (surprise!)  

disclaimer: baby bump was not that big, there are monitors under there
and I might've been a tad bit swollen and emotionally unstable at this point of the day
Anna & Kerith ran out & bought a preemie outfit when they learned Baby Suits was coming            
My best friend, Kerith, came into town (a surprise visit!) for our baby shower on Saturday. She was set to fly out on Monday, but extended her stay on Saturday- days before we knew about the arrival of Baby Suits. Never in a million years would I have guessed that she'd be there for the birth of my baby! Super fun.

3 Reasons:  Why It's a Good Idea to Move (Because "The Reasons Why We Shouldn't Move" would be too long &  too sappy)  1. I'm less likely to run into people from Middle School . This reason specifically addresses my 8th grade English teacher. I've probably seen her every year since the 8th grade and considering that that was thirteen years  ago, that's a lot of times. I've always resisted the urge to walk up to her and say, "You never taught me how to diagram sentences! You're the reason I'm not a writer!" But if I happen to see her after I move, I'll take it as a sign and invite her out to lunch...where she might just teach me how to diagram sentences. 2. It's a ritzy, upscale place . We're moving to a place where people are well off. Yes, there will be drawbacks to this and I probably wouldn't pick it if I had a choice (but that's a blog post for another day). While there will be drawbacks, the...

The ultimate Time Out death stare 1. Potty Training Is going well. Less accidents, more jelly bean rewards. It just involves a lot of bending over (ooph!) and huddling in public bathroom stalls together. 2. "Treat others the way you would want to be treated" Would you like for her to take the toy out of your hands? How would you feel if she chased you until you were scared? Would you like for her to start singing while you're singing a song? The Bible says to treat others the way you would want to be treated...yatayata  x a millionHOW MANY MORE YEARS OF THIS 3. "No one likes being ignored"  I overheard my older, wiser, more organic (Jokes. But not really. She uses raw sugar and roasts her own peanuts) friend tell her child this when he was ignoring his sister. I like it much better than "answer your sister" as it makes them think of the other person instead of just following a command. Thoughts? 4. "Stay three feet away from me...
