what not to do.

when you are 9 months pregnant.
  • try to move your sofa
  • goto Target for some last minute supplies. you will end up buying fish sticks and maxi-pads as if you will NEVER get to the store AGAIN. impulse buying at it finest.
  • run to the bathroom. you might not make it there in time. just walk.
  • decide to organize 7 years worth of photos into albums. not only is it a project best left for retirement, you will find yourself devastated by how you have aged in only 7 years.
  • start anew on coming up with a baby name. If you haven't found one from the book titled 40,001 Great Baby Names by now, you ain't gonna!
  • tell your husband you think you might be starting labor, when you really are not. the Boy who cried Wolf, much?
  • Drone on and on in the blogosphere about above don'ts. No one needs a list of what not to do. This info is only useful for MVH or MiniMeMom right now. No one else cares.
Any other don'ts to add to the list?
tick, tick, tick.

Oh, Michelle, we are just too much on the same page. I went to the mall to stock up on the girls clothes for spring and summer because I'm NEVER going to get out of the house again. Knowing me, I'll be out shopping the week after the baby is born.

Great advise on the baby name as well. We still can't decide either. I think it's time to start drawing names from a hat.

Don't try to play with your kids the way you used to. Racing to the entrance of Target isn't what it used to be. I take two quick steps and remember that running is no longer an option.

Don't forget to take care of yourself. You deserve any time off and rest you can find right now!

Chelle, I saw Drew at school and said, "Has Mama had that baby yet?"

He said, "No...she'll have it sometime in the summer."

I think we need to start a "pot" on your blog..."What Date Do You Think Chelle will Pop?"

Here's another Do Not. Do Not count on delivering early. It only makes one anxious and may cause diarrhea.As always trust God's timing and enjoy these last days of 3 kids and Spring Break.If we have to we can go through the house again next week. Love Mom

Drew!

Summer!

he is slightly misinformed. A few weeks ago he told Mrs. Deppe I had a girl and named her Janie.
Imagine her surprise when I showed up at school still large and in charge!
