Acara, there HAS to be something in the works to make this the ride of a lifetime for her.

Come in a limo drivers uni. Bring her roses. Take her to a scenic vista in some hospital window and give her another present. I think it'd be cool to have a little place in the hospital scouted already and have a little candlelit table waiting for her and music...better yet, a little band or something.

You have such an imagination; do something HUGE! You both deserve it. And, momma needs to feel special....not that she doesn't already I'm sure.

Congratulations on the big Three Oh!

Here's hoping the Dr has to eat his lab coat!

I tried already, but mama anticipated I would try to pull off some stunt & gave me very explicit instructions:

** Don't (&*^*)&%^ this up .... **** Very Happy

Mama's worried my poor judgement and warped sense of humor might affect her chances of getting more "wheelchair passes"; so she's strongly suggested that I behave, keep within the speed limit, don't drive recklessly, stay on hospital grounds, keep in the one hour time limit keeep my mouth shut, etc.

I may try to pull off something on any subsequent wheelchair passes though Twisted Evil

I knew you were on top of things...lol.

But, I didn't know Momma was already a step ahead of you. Have fun!

Just be a good boy then, acara, and do as you're told. (asked).

You really have a no-nonsense lady there. Good thing too. Men need guidance.

Very Happy

Have you been taking her home grown tomatoes? Guy Clark wrote: "Only two things money can't buy is true love and home grown tomatoes!" Bet you have both bases covered. So glad for all three of you.

Best news yet! Come on 32!

Nonna.PapaVino 5/22/2011, 12:52 am

Wait, did I miss the update on the grand wheelchair trip to the cafeteria? Could you, did you, what was wonderful? Still going for 32 and home grown tomatoes, Acara?

This mamma has had baby fever for the last couple years pretty bad...we went to the local farmers market today and it seemed every chunky-budda-bellied-milk-drunk-baby was out there today. My uterus hurts. Made me think of you a lot today and I sent many a good "stay-put-baby" vibe your way Acara and Acara mamma. Smile

LOL!!!! My teenagers are all out of the house but I still get a twinge every now and then... thats what the Buddydog is for !!

The cure is grandchildren, and the sweet paypack is saying "OH let him eat ALL the candy he wants, he's going home tonight"!

CindiLou 5/22/2011, 10:49 am

Yup, just borrow a baby for a few hours and the "want one" issue goes away! My youngest baby is 21 but the youngest grandbaby is 23 months. NO WAY do I want another baby rofl....

I love being able to borrow the baby and get a baby fix but I LOVE sending them back to momma!

**Kelejan** 5/22/2011, 1:17 pm

Day 33. Keep going (I mean staying) little one.

Once again, I'll never understand you women.

You've had several, and you still get the pang? Apparently, God didn't do us a service when he allowed us to forget pain as time passes.

Babies are cute and all, but as a proud pappa, I've been there....done that. I wish they all popped out 3 and potty trained. But, if that was how things worked, we'd all live in shoes.

middlemamma 5/24/2011, 12:47 am

I can't wait for Thursday and week 31 to come....I can't wait... bounce

acara 5/26/2011, 6:35 am

Thursday update ...

We're at week 31 today & mama & baby are doing well.

According to ultrasound, Connor weighed in at approx 4 lbs yesterday & is officially larger than any of my tomatoes this season Razz

Also found out that he's flipped for the moment and no longer breached.

Tenative plan is to spring mama from the hospital next week & get her into home care for a week or two, until the circlauge comes out. Mama's cervical length is only 8mm, so that may/may not be realistic, a week from now, since the circlauge stitches are about the only thing keeping baby put.

After next week we'll transition from the hi-risk OB/GYN to our "regular" delivery physicians.

**walshevak** 5/26/2011, 6:40 am

Yea

Week 31 and a 4lb baby. I'm guessing odds have dramatically inproved. The 32 chant is still going on. In addition to giving Connor a better chance, I want a labcoat BBQ.

Ha-v-v 5/26/2011, 8:32 am

Awesome!!! Your family is in my thoughts daily as I tend those tomatoes Smile

Watering, checking at night for those nasty horn worms etc Smile

Nice to hear the babe is bigger than the tomatoes now Smile

Any, congrats on making it to week 31. Now for week 32. cheers

Nonna.PapaVino 5/26/2011, 11:59 am

New mantra? 5 pounds, 5 pounds, 5 pounds. You guys are to be congratulated, you must be doing everything right. Conner is a very lucky guy to have such dedicated parents.
