At least we're healthy

David,
I think you forgot to tell the baby that you would be seeing him in the hospital on the 10th.

It looks like he has already learned some good procrastinating skills and is perfectly content staying where he is. I had a non-stress test yesterday and the kind woman checking him told me that we were both perfectly healthy and fine for me to stay pregnant a little while longer. She said it so cheerfully like this was exactly what I was hoping to hear. :) Well, I am very grateful for the "perfectly healthy" part.

So, as long as everyone is checking our blog for more exciting news......here is a little story for you. I call it "The Attack of the Killer Wasp and yet I Still Didn't Go into Labor." On Monday afternoon, as in the Monday of my Due Date, I was driving down Geneva Road towards 400 N in Orem to go to my Dr. appt. I had just finished my last day at work....hurray!.... and had left the windows down most of the day. I was driving along when I noticed an extra large wasp on the back window of the car, on the inside. Well, although not allergic enough to be hospitalized, my body still reacts pretty good to any sort of insect or spider bite. (Have you seen what mosquitos can do to me?!) This was the LAST thing I wanted to happen before having a baby. It was all I could do to not completely focus on the wasp, but to focus on where I was driving. I just had to keep checking every couple of seconds to make sure he was still back there on the window. I had just gone through a light on 400 and was not even 5 mins away from the Orem Hospital where my Dr.'s office is when the wasp decided to start crawling on the ceiling directly to where I was sitting. There was nothing to do but hurry, pull over and quickly get my soon to be "overdue" belly out of the car as fast as I could. I had left the car on and just had the blinker on. I was over on the passenger side close to the sidewalk hoping no one would notice me and pull over to help. How embarrasing! Anyways, I think this was when Chris ("girl chris") called so she got to get in on the action. I was trying to figure out how to shoo the wasp out of my car without anyone driving by noticing me so they wouldn't try to help and also without getting stung. It wasn't going very well. Finally the wasp just dropped from off the ceiling on the drivers side exactly where I would have to sit to go anywhere. Thats when I lost him. I swear he didn't fly out of the window. I was watching so carefully! This is also when some nice grandpa and his middle-aged son pulled over and asked if I needed any help. So, I told them, "yes, actually" and hung up on Chris. Then I had to explain that I couldn't get back into my car becuase there was a huge wasp somewhere in there. I also made sure to mention I was allergic, emphasis on the allergic part. I was hoping they would assume I meant the "have to go to the hospital kindof allergic" so I wouldn't seem so much like a crazy pregnant lady. They both moved the seats and looked under them and around and fortunately and unfortunately didn't find the wasp. I thanked them for their help, they smiled and drove away and I was left to hope they really did do a good job of checking. Anways, I made it to the Dr. appt. and so far haven't seen any sign of the wasp. So there you have it. The situation was pretty funny. Its best if you try to imagine me, huge and pregnant on the side of the road trying to figure out how to get this wasp out of my car. Good times.

Anyways, no worries. We will definitely keep you all posted as to when this baby finally decides to arrive. Thanks for all of your love and support!
