The Waiting Game

Good morning, all!

Well, Ian and I both slept horribly last night! I think we're both excited and worried about the baby - and it's just hard to sleep through that! I started on the couch, and then ended up going back to bed at about 3 (waking up and scaring my poor husband) because I was having nightmares that people were trying to break in! Scary!!!

Anyhow, the Foundation Dinner was really nice last night - We started off by sitting in the very back corner of the big room, and then the Foundation president pulled us up to sit with her and her family - so that was a nice surprise (I suppose!). But all in all, people loved all the artwork the kids made (yay!) AND Mr. Barber offered me my job back for next year!! DOUBLE yay!! So now, pending board approval (I'm just a name on a list so it should be fine) I'll be able to go back to Irving in the fall and paint and make fun stuff with kids again all year :) (Note: I'm planning on taking Family Leave for the 1st 12 weeks of school, so I'll probably end up going back in Nov. sometime)

Other than that, on my errands yesterday and at the dinner, it was so much fun to respond to the question of "When are you due?" with the answer of "Thursday!" That really surprised people and some were even surprised I was out and about!

Now we just play the waiting game - The baby is getting big - I can tell!! So hopefully it doesn't get TOO comfy in there! Still having contractions, but not in any order or reason - and that can happen for a while I guess... so we just wait! I've honestly been praying that I'm ready for this baby to be born :) I think it's about time! (Or I wish it was, anyway!!!)

2 more days until the due date - so we'll just see I guess! Today is Mary's day in the baby pool, and I would just LOVE it if she was the winner :)

Have a great day, everyone!
Love
Laura
