She called around 8 am and said she thought she was in labor. We called Tim at the travel agency right away and got our flight booked (earliest and most direct possible) for 7pm tonight out of Logan to get to NV for 10:11 pm...OMG We are soooo nervous. We are going to go over to see Grammy in the new rehab she is in very shortly. Tim also booked our hotel and rental car...yay! He was an amazing help!
We are so nervous and anxious right now...too much so to be excited I think.
Funny when we got the call this am (Josh answered) Josh was making his oatmeal cookies with white choc bits and I was rocking in my new glider...OMG!!
Please, please God watch over all of us, help us to have safe travels, J have a safe labor and baby to be healthy. Take care of Grammy, our whole family and doggies while we are gone. Praying with all that I am that the next post I type when I return is a very very happy one.
Please GOD!

Merry Christmas!
We all had a great Christmas although we missed spending the day with Grammy who is still in the hospital.
No baby yet. I just looked back at some of J's info we had gotten and noticed based on LMP and days between periods that her due date would have been 12-24-08. So she is just one day over today...interesting and I have no idea why I didn't think to check this earlier..LOL!

To the ones who are no longer with us this holiday
To my Grandma Catherine, Grandpa Gus, Grampa Joe, Audrey and Peanut. I miss you all very much!
I remember Grandma how you were always there. Every Christmas and every holiday was celebrated with you. You were always living life, active, learning, healthy and happy. I strive to be like that. You were the glue that kept everyone together...our family will never be the same without you and that saddens me. Oh to see your smile and hear your laugh again. I miss you lots.
Grandpa Gus...I only new you for a short time as you passed away when I was just a baby. Sadly I don't remember you, but I hear lots of stories from my Dad. I wish I got to know you better and I want you to know that you are missed by all of us.
Grampa Joe...every year you and Grammy would send us a box of little presents we made a tradition of opening one a night for a few nights leading up to Christmas. You'd call me and say "I just called to say I love you" that brings tears to my eyes now. I remember you calling us from FL every Christmas day and asking us what we got. I miss you and would love to give you a hug right now...I can still smell your cologne. Grammy is sick right now and we pray for her to stay with us for a while longer as we aren't ready to let her go yet. I know when God calls her home she will be with you once again and I take comfort in knowing that. I love you Grampy!
Audrey although you were technically a family friend, you were an Aunt to us. You met me the day I was born and you were there always. Your calm demeanor and gentle way is missed greatly in our family. Sometimes you just don't know how special someone is until you loose them. Whenever I go to ME to visit A. Anne I expect you there. I want you to know we all loved you and you are very much missed.
I also miss our little peanut who we conceived at the end of this month last year and lost at the end of January. We had such hopes and dreams for our lives when we found out about you and we will forever remember you as just that, a hope and a dream that came true just by finding out about you. We miss what would have been.
I also think about all the friends that have passed away too young and leave their children and loved ones. And the friends who have lost their young babies/ children. My heart goes out to all of them and their families.
God Bless!

40 weeks, 2 days & Christmas Eve today
We'll see what today brings...
At this point I feel like we are being teased into thinking we'll be here tonight for Christmas Eve and tomorrow for Christmas, but one just doesn't know for sure. All it takes is one moment for that to change and us to be heading off. I do hope now that we get to enjoy the holiday home here and then have baby come some time soon after Christmas. What are the chances?!
As the days progress I know it is getting closer and closer and I am feeling just fear and nervousness for what is to come.
Well,
Merry Christmas Eve!

12-22-08 baby's due today!
Ahhh, were to start...All these feelings. Nervousness, anxiousness, excited, scared, happy, hopeful! We are feeling them all.
To know you are due today or really any day now...WOW! That amazes me. I remember 11-10 like it was yesterday and hearing Terry's message on the machine about you and now you are due.
It is so hard not knowing how things will ultimately go, but we already feel love for you. It is true that you've grown in our hearts! I can picture your sweet little face and pray every moment that you are healthy.
We just want you to know that we are ready for you, physically and mentally :o) We can't wait till the day you arrive, the first time we hear about you, see you, hold you...just thinking about it makes me catch my breath.
Well baby, you're Mommy and Daddy and whole family are ready to meet you so come on out, lol!
I am going to take your furry brothers for a ride (this will be their first time riding in Mommy's truck with your car seat in there, wonder how they'll like that, lol!) I need to pick up a few more things for us to eat as we are running out of food waiting here for you, we thought we'd be long gone to get you by now. And when I am out, I'm going to stop at Babies R Us and buy you something to mark this day, your due date.
Hmmm, wondering how much longer we'll wait????????????
God Bless!

J called us last night
She wanted to say hi. We chatted a bit and had a nice conversation. She's hoping to hold off on having the baby till after Christmas, lol! Only change as of now is her back is really hurting her and she just feels huge, uncomfortable for her to sleep. I can't imagine her not going till after Christmas...this being her 3rd baby I can't believe he or she hasn't come earlier. And so we wait...
