The Waiting Game

Being so close to my due date I have learned a few things

1. You cannot just call your family just to talk.  I've realized if I call my family to ask random questions they sound so excited when they answer their phone.  Once they realize you are calling to ask a question and not to tell them that you are going into labor their excitement fades quickly.  I hate being the bearer of bad news and disappointing them.   The solution is I don't call anyone in my family unless it is vitally important.  Thus no one thinks the baby is coming when in reality she is happily playing in my belly.  :)
2. If you aren't with your kids outside and your sister is with them your neighbors also get their hopes up that you have had your baby.  Trish was outside with the girls on Friday and my cute neighbor quickly stepped out of her house to see if I had had my baby.  More disappointed people.  Solution:  Don't have others play with your kids outside without you so your neighbors don't get their hopes up.
3. Husband, aka Ben, is slightly disappointed that you did not have your baby over the weekend.  The weekend would be more convenient for him as he would not have to miss much of work.  Works out better I haven't had her yet as Trisha's husband is out of town so it would make things a tich difficult if I needed her to watch the kids in the middle of the night.  I swear between Trish and Ben they make things quite difficult on when they would like the baby to come. So picky and opinionated :)
4. Lori offered to pick them up from the airport if I wanted to send them on a plane to Boise.  :)  Can you imagine my little munchkins on a plane by themselves.  That just makes me smile.  I can imagine Sav avoiding eye contact with any human being and both of them crying hysterically about how they "lost" mom and dad.  She altered her suggestion to say they could fly with Kram since he had a stop in SLC on Sunday, but I'm not sure that would be much better.  I would have to prep them with AWESOME pictures of Uncle Kram and tell them how fun it would be.  Both scenarios are equally entertaining to me.  To say the least, they won't be going on a plane but it was sweet of Lo to offer to watch them.

Baby still has not come yet, but on the bright side of things I finally got most of the way through my to do list.  Last night I FINALLY packed my hospital bag and I have been able to clean the basics in my house.  I guess I will have to create a new to do list for this week :)
