We're waiting for our good friend epidural. I'm waiting across the room out of choking distance.

Looks like it will be tomorrow!!
Okay so it looks like it will be tomorrow....
We have the following websites for you to check (besides this one).
http://anewhopeiv.livejournal.com/ The baby website. I can do text pages and voicemails for updates
http://www.flickr.com/photos/flipside3/ Adam can send pictures from his cell phone to our picture site
Just remember we are at a HOSPITAL and expect delays. (I used to work there so I know about the lack of cell phone service we can get there). We will post stuff as soon as we can. Thanks again for the prayers and vibes for the past nine months.
We are supposed to be there at 7AM. I'm expecting the Dr to be there to break the water around 8 or so. Hopefully after that I will be able to get my epideral. If all goes well we should be home sometime Thursday.

I think it's official!
Well after mopping our kitchen last night....
I mopped it again this morning because I found stuff still on the floor that I missed and it annoyed me. I also mopped it to this song....
Yeah...I'm nesting...

EVICTION NOTICE SERVED!!!!
Unless I go into labor this week (which there is a strong possibility that I will) we have a date for the newest member of our family.
Adam and I have to be at the hospital at 7AM on Tuesday June 10!
I still think that he will be born in the next couple of days...but I've been WAY off on the vibe thing that I have with this pregnancy so we will see.

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull Review (NON SPOILERS)
The movie is good. If you are an Indy fan you will like it. My bladder survived and I didn't go into labor. I promised Adam that if my water broke during the movie that Teresa would take me to the hospital.
The movie can be a little slow in some spots but it does pick back up.
They do give an indication that there could be another movie. Maybe with not Indy as the central character (which was mentioned by Uncle George at Cannes) but I don't think that the fans (or Harrison Ford) would be happy with someone else having the adventures and Indy being the support.
Go in with knowing that you can turn your mind off for 2 hours and 4 mintues and just have fun.

Helicopter over our neighborhood
So about 6:15 I heard a helicopter. Didn't think much of it...until it was hanging around our house for about five minutes. So I went out to see what was going on. It was a channel 5 helicopter just hanging around our neighborhood. I read (on another tv station website) that there was an accident over Macaroni Grill in Grapevine. An 18-wheeler crashed into 4 cars there.
Here is a link about the accident: http://www.nbc5i.com/news/16257217/detail.html?dl=mainclick

Dark Side Daughter
As a Star Wars loving soul, should I be happy or disturbed by my daughter in Vader garb. Granted it was my idea... but that's beside the point. Now every time she sees the Vader mask she points, says "hat", and insists on putting it on.
Guess we'll have to find a Han Solo vest or a Wookie mask for the boy, once he's born.

A Child's Angel
Once upon a time there
was a child ready to be born.
So one day he asked God:
They tell me you are
sending me to earth tomorrow
but how am I going to live
there being so small and helpless?
Among the many angels,
I chose one for you.
She will be waiting for you
and will take care of you.
But tell me, here in Heaven,
I don't do anything else but sing
and smile, that's enough for me to be happy.
Your angel will sing for you
and will also smile for you every day.
And you will feel your angel's love and be happy.
And how am I going to be able
to understand when people talk to me,
if I don't know the language that men talk?
Your angel will tell you the most
beautiful and sweet words you will
ever hear, and with much patience and care,
your angel will teach you how to speak.
And what am I going to do when
I want to talk to you?
Your angel will place your hands
together and will teach you how to pray.
I've heard that on earth there
are bad men. Who will protect me?
Your angel will defend you even
if it means risking its life.
But I will always be sad because
I will not see you anymore.
Your angel will always talk to you
about me and will teach you the way
for you to come back to me,
even though I will always be next to you.
At that moment there was much peace
in Heaven, but voices from earth
could already be heard, and the
child in a hurry asked softly:
Oh God, if I am about to leave now,
please tell me my angel's name.
Your angel's name is of no importance,
you will call your angel "Mommy."
(Author Unknown)
Happy Mother's Day!!!!

Randal's Room!!!
My Dad finished up the mural in the new baby's room. It's a yellow submarine! I think it came out really well. It's hard to see the size in this picture, but it's as long as the crib which it is painted over.
Oh, and the room is entirely blue.

Hiccups
If you look to the right hand part of the screen and wait a couple of seconds you will see a little blip. That is the alien child having the hiccups.
He is also grounded because he gave me a swift kick in the ribs today before we started eating. I guess I wasn't fast enough putting cheesy bread in my mouth.

So about 15 minutes after I ate lunch Bubba was really moving around. I decided to film it and then he stopped (typical). But I did catch him doing this.....

We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?
Well about 3AM there were storms....At least that's what the news and what Adam told me this morning.
I didn't wake up to any of the storms at all. Adam said that we didn't get much but what we did get scared Connor half to death.

27 weeks and a couple of days pregnant
I realized on Friday that I am really big....
I know I probably don't look that big but I am ALL BELLY!!! This kid is going to be huge! Which doesn't surpised me since all he wants for lunch is tacos.
Oh and Katie got a sandbox today that is staying over at Papa and MawMa's. That is the real reason why we were taking pictures today.

Program Rescheduled
Due to the weather it looks like the program that Katie is in has been rescheduled to NEXT Thursday at 7:00.
DOOM AND GLOOM!!!!
Guess what it is trying to do here again for the second time this week?
SNOW!!!
This is our yard at 12:23. Oh and the temp is not supposed to get below 33 degrees. I'm not all that worried. I'm sure Katie will have school tomorrow.
The weather people are all over this. I've seen snow before. LOTS of snow before. Lets get on to other news.
In other news....
Katie's school is doing an performance tonight. Expect to see picutres and videos of toddlers screaming, crying, rocking their stuffed animals, and hopefully one (NOT) stripping down to her diaper and running around in a circle (Yeah...that would be my kid)

Randal Sono Pictures from March 3
Here is one of the sono pictures of Randal. There are two more out on flickr, so just click through to find them. These 3D... 4D... whatever they call them look a little weird, but at least we know he's got some sort of face.

Specialist Appointment
This is what we know....
I'm at 25 weeks 4 days. Randal (Bubba) weighs 2 POUNDS right now (average is about 1.5 pounds about now).
Everything looks good.
The calcifications in the heart are still there but you can barely see them. (the reason why they were mentioned the first time was because of my age).
The Dr was at the hospital doing surgery so the sono tech told us that they would like us to come back in 4 weeks. Might get a call from the office telling us not to. Because I tested positive for the blood test for downs (and the MINOR marker of the calcifications) they want to check on the growth.
The due date that they say he may arrive is at 6/10/08 BUT I'm still going by the date of 6/14/08. We will see when June rolls around.
Thanks again for all the prayers and vibes.

Snow on My Home - March 4, 2008
One day I'll have a cellphone that can take really good pictures. Trust me, snow was a very pretty white. Since our yard lacks trees, we got quite a nice snow covering.
By the time I got to work most the snow had melted from the grassy areas... I imagine it was the same at home. Pity, it looked very neat.

Sick.....
Last week due to stuff going on and then Katie getting pinkeye and an ear infection Katie didn't see much of Grandma and "pa pa". Well since Sunday Katie has seen them every day and today is no exception.
Because I am sick. I've been taking care of the other two sick memebers of the family and some type of germ has gotten into my system. And because I am PREGNANT Dr's won't give me anything. So after having almost a week of crying, coughing, sneezing, screaming, banging on the wall, banging on the door, meowing, hissing, furrball puking, wind blowing interrupted sleep my body finally said "ENOUGH" and made me sick this morning.
So today at 1:45 Katie will be going over to visit "Pa pa". I on the other hand will be going home to take some anti-nausia pills that make me sleep and go to bed. Hopefully with tomorrow being a school day for Katie things will be back to normal...or as normal as our family gets.

For Sicker...
I'd just like to say that of the experiences I've had in life, hearing the doctor say, "you've got a double ear infection, sinus infection, throat infection, and a touch of bronchitis," is one I would like a substitution for. Say replace it with a very nice sunset or just a night of actual restful sleep. Granted hearing that I'm infected to the gills was a bit better that living with the aftermath of the shot they injected into my butt.
I saw a glimmer in my wife's eyes when the doc mentioned the shot. I'd like to think it was because, having gone through it herself during the week of our big Star Wars Wedding, she knew it would make me all better. I suspect though that she was chuckling to herself in full knowledge of the special kind of hell I was about to go through, that I'm sure I didn't sympathize enough with her when she went through it. That's just a guess.
The first night after getting the shot was filled with strange pains that I cannot satisfactorily describe in words, so I won't.
The shot did what it claimed to and here a few days after taking it I can move around like a pretend human. It is a fake healthy though. The head still buzzes with the infection still lurking underneath. That'll take longer to knock out with ghastly antibiotic pills with a dry horror of an aftertaste.
Still haven't gotten a good night's rest yet, and I'm not optimistic about the near future. To sum it all up... being sick really sucks. I'd rather just be well, please.
PS: Another way to some it up: don't kiss icky germ covered, snot spewing toddlers... even if they look at you with big puppy dog eyes... reaching up at you saying "hug hug hug."

We went to the Dr and she now is taking drops for it. I know it looks bad. She was worse at 3AM when her eyes were basically swollen shut.

Just found out today that one of my bestest friends ever is engaged!
Also today is my sister's birthday, so hooray for her too.
Thought I'd throw that out there so we can all remember the good times!

Read a Book
I'm rather happy with myself today. I finished a really large book over the weekend, A Game of Thrones by George R. R. Martin. I wrote a blurb about it on my blog.
It is a very long book, and with the little time I have to read (or the desire to read it) it took a while. I actually check it out from the library about 5 months ago. The sad thing is it is the first book of a series and each book is just about as long. This is going to keep me busy for a while, but some other books will have to come first.
Happy reading!

Also forgot to add yesterday that it looks like the date has changed for the due date again. On the computer for the specialist it had 6/13 and 6/14. So I decided to have it be at 6/13. But just incase just mark your calendars for a 3 day weekend!

Specialist Appointment 1/17/08
So this is what happened this morning.
We got there for our appointment at 8 and I filled out paperwork. I was told that since we are seeing the genetic councilor that they would have to call my OB to get the results of the quad screen test. About 20 minutes later I was told that my OB was on the phone and wanted to talk to me. She wanted to let me know that my quad screen came back positive for Downs Syndrome. Which I was not surprised (I hate this blood test anyway it gives a lot of false positives). It came back positive for Katie when I was pregnant with her. So with my age it's at 151. Now with the positive it is now 145. I'm still not worried. We FINALLY got to see the councilor at about 9:20 (so much for 8) and she went through everything. I basically told her that unless the Dr said that we really should have an amino then I will have one but I wasn't going to risk it.
So we have the sono and it is still a BOY (confirmed by the tech and by the specialist). The specialist then told us that there are some calcifications in the heart. This is a MINOR marker for Downs Syndrome and it doesn't mean that he will have it. She checked him all over and besides that everything looks fine. She told me that now my chances of him having this is 1 and 70. She told me that if I wanted to could have an amino.
Adam and I have talked about this even before Katie was born. Knowing that something COULD be wrong is NOT going to change anything with our love for this kid. He could have 2 heads, 4 arms, 6 legs and have a green skin and I would still love the little guy. So we are NOT going to have an amino. (besides why risk it when I've had a miscarriage in the past)
We do have to go and see the specialist again 26-28 weeks and we got an appointment scheduled on March 5 at 1:15. She also mentioned about maybe coming back at 34-36 to check on it again. They will be checking everything again and check the heart again to see if there are any more calcifications.
So please continue to send vibes and prayers for this little guy.

Thank you for the music
Dan Fogelberg 1951-2007I will admit I'm not up to speed with the new music of today. I guess I'm getting old and I don't want to hear someone screaming at me, how to get back at someone who cheats, or how some guy should be with me and not their girlfriend. So I listen to an oldies station. It's also one of the few things that "The Spud" and I can agree on when we are in the car (besides "The Lion Sleeps Tonight").
There are few songs that I can say where the lyrics made me stop and say "Whoa. That was cool!"
Dan Fogelberg did that with "Same auld lang syne" A true story about him running into his ex-girlfriend at a store Christmas Eve. They play the song a lot on New Years Eve.
Even with my ADD and Pregger brain I still remember where I was when I first heard that song. It was November 1981 and I was reading "the splinter of the minds eye" (one of the first Star Wars books) and this song came on. I was living in Liverpool, New York. The song stuck with me all these years.
In 2004 he announced that he was diagnosed with advanced prostrate cancer.
Monday morning at 7:00 our alarm went off and Jodi Dean was playing one of Dan's songs. I knew that something happened. I turned on Good Morning America and the ticker at the bottom said it all. Dan Fogelberg died Sunday morning at the age of 56.
On the way home from taking Katie to Mom's Day out Monday morning Jodi signed off saying "Thank you Dan" playing "Same Auld Lang Syne" I blasted it in my car and cried. Yeah I'm old...and I really don't care.
Thank you for the music Dan you will be missed.

Katie at Gymboree
Here's a moment of Zen... Classic Katie as it were. This would be pre-teeth and just over 10 months ago. Oh how much has changed. Now she's running all over the place and flashing her big toothy grin.
I just love all the green and the big baby cheeks in this picture!

Katie went to see Santa lastweek......
and as you can see from the picture she cried. Out of the 8-10 pictures they took this one was the ONLY on where she wasn't crying. Because she was gathering all of her energy (and breath) to go for another round of SCREAMING, CRYING, and giving Mommy the look of 'how could you do this to ME?????

Katie the Reindeer
Happy Holidays everybody!
Katie here is styling in a very festive set of reindeer antlers. They didn't stay on her head very long though. Guess we're lucky we caught this picture when we did.
It is going to be a blast watching her open presents this year!

Vader's Runny Nose
Bridget and I ran across this Vader candy thingie while looking for Christmas gifts at Target. Doesn't it look like he has a runny nose? Anyway we spent all that time at Target and left with only a set of sippy cups for Katie.
I was just looking at the calendar, and we really need to get the Christmas shopping done. Santa's big day is right around the corner and there is still so much to do. Not that we can buy much being the poor parents that we are... but then limitations breed creativity.
It'll be a great Christmas, you just wait and see!

Visit from the Family
My brother-in-law and family came down a couple weeks ago. We had a great time! Lots of good food and fun.
While they were around, Bridget took them over to the picture place. Katie and her cousin James got some snapshots together. Aren't they cute.

Dancing with the Stars
Okay tonight is the finals for Dancing with the stars.
Do not be surpised if Marie Osmond wins.
Not because of her dancing skills (Which she did very well last week and I think she should have gotten a 10 from Bruno) but because of her fanbase.
Now before all the Marie fans start getting mad a me let me add I AM A FAN OF MARIE'S! I have been a fan since the Donny and Marie Show. I think I also still have a Marie doll from 1978 somewhere. I was actually excited that she was going to be on the show. BUT....
I really don't think that she will win. If she does it will because of the FANS VOTES which is FINE BY ME.
Who do I think will win? Either Mel B or Helio. It's too close to call.
This show is about the votes. If you vote fine if you don't then you have NO RIGHT TO COMPLAIN IF YOUR FAVORATE LOSES!
I will not be voting because I will be at a class and watching the show at about 10 tonight.
You will not see me complaining tomorrow after the results show because I have no right to complain.
Good luck to all three.
(Oh and Emmitt Smith is still the best out of everyone)

One Year Ago Yesterday
One year ago yesterday at 5:00PM I became a full time Mom.
The year has gone fast with Gymboree, swim class, swinging, crawling, walking, talking and Mom's day out. Next spring she will be going to preschool over at the church one day a week on Friday's and then in the fall she will be going every Wednesday and Friday.
But next year we all have a new challenge....Because Adam and I are going to be parents again and Katie will be a big sister. The baby is due Sunday June 15, 2008.
We have known for a couple of weeks but didn't tell anyone except for some people. Tuesday Adam and I went for the first sono. I should have known that everything was going to be okay when I heard "You have to hide your love away" and "When I'm sixty-four" (our song) both by the Beatles within minutes of each other. (a sign from my Mom). We went and saw our 8 week 2 day bean with the heartbeat pumping away.
We have a new baby site that we'll post on our list of things to go to. I couldn't go back to Postcards from the Pregnancy.

Blurry Katie at Grandma's
We went over to my parent's house last night so Katie could have some Grandma time. My Mom ordered Jim Sticks from Mr. Jim's Pizza and we all gorged on the carbs. Yum!
Afterward Katie ran wild around the house. Luckily for Bridget and I, Grandma was there to tend the inevitable poopy diaper. All the fun had to come to an end before 8, so my wife could get home in time to watch Grey's Anatomy.

I've got shoes!
Katie has discovered the joy of shoes. You put them on her feet and away she goes. Funny enough, "shoe" is one of the words she can actually say.
With Halloween around the corner expect some pictures of our little monster in a costume or two. Hopefully we'll find the time to go get some professional pictures done over at Portrait Innovations. We haven't done that since her birthday.

Books for Katie
Last Friday I walked next door to the Euless Public Library (I work at Euless City Hall). The Euless Library Foundation (ELF) was holding their bi-annual book sale. Now the last thing I need at the house is more books for me. I've already decided to read books from the library whenever possible to avoid putting more on the shelves at home.
My daughter on the other hand could use some more. These board books will do nicely, and at a cost of 30 cents for all three... she can destroy them for all I care. She's already had plenty of fun with them. I can't get over how fascinated she is with turning pages.

We will never forget......
I tried to find something that didn't repeat what happened on this day six years ago. I found this.
