Snow, Thing 1 and a Dr. Update!

Snow in March (or any time really).......almost unheard of down here in Georgia. But boy did it snow on Sunday. It just kept coming down. It was so pretty. We were sure that there would be no school today due to the ice that was (hopefully) left over on the roads....but no such luck! It started during church and the kids could just see outside enough to get them very excited and antsy. As soon as the service was over......it was like a mad dash to the windows. This is Drew and Kendall checking things out. So cute!Keith couldn't wait to get home and let Lily run around in it. She loved it. I didn't get a pic of Daisy but I will tell you that she was not outside. She had a fit when we tried to put her out and ran back to her crate. No way was she venturing out in those sub zero conditions. Ha! Today was Dr. Seuss day at PB Ritch. Drew was Thing 1 again. This will be his last year in this shirt as the sleeves are half way up his arms now...... (thanks Kim, for letting me borrow this last year...I wasn't planning on keeping it the whole year but it saved me having to go pick it up again. I promise I won't keep it until Addi needs it). I stopped by his school on my way to the doctor and read a few Dr. Seuss books to his class.

Here is a close up of a very grouchy Thing 1 this morning when I woke him up for (gasp) school. No...he was not in a good mood when he found out that school was not canceled and that life would continue as scheduled in spite of a blizzard yesterday. Not a good morning in the James household!!

And now the Dr. update. They called me first thing this morning to tell me that they had scheduled my induction. I go in at 7pm on March 12th.....I knew it. There are several reasons why I did not want this date:

• 1. Jackie and Taylor will be gone for a long weekend and will miss the whole affair.
• 2. Going in that late on the 12th means that my baby will be born on Friday, the 13th!
• 3. This is the one day that Keith's mom cannot come because she has a very important yearly appointment (that was scheduled for her) about her disability benefits. Any time after or before is fine...just not this exact day.
• 4. I am still stuck on the whole 03/06/09 date.

But they won't budge....they won't induce (unless medically necessary....you would think old age would be enough of a medical reason) before week 39. Oh well, it is what it is and I can't change it. My blood pressure has been very high and I go back tomorrow for a NST (non stress test). I don't want anything to be wrong but there is the possibility that they could change their mind if that doesn't come out favorable. Or I could go on my own at any time.....we will just have to see how it all plays out.
