Ok I didn't totally finish my WHOLE confession.

After I send my prayers and good baby mojo..I have this mental image of Acara talking to the baby in whale.

I NEW I heard Crush influence in an earlier post (different thread)! You so totally ROCK dude (ette)!

Great ....Thanks.... LOL, now I've had this stuck in my head for 2 days, along with other Disney cartoon songs, while I've been doing paint/drywall/carpet in the new nursery.

Some friends of ours dropped off some Disney videos for our future use & since I haven't run the cable in the room, they are my only entertainment while I'm painting.

I can only imagine someone driving down the street in front of the house at 3am, seeing floodlights streaming out of the windows, hearing blaring Disney music and seeing a strange man dancing around the room with a paintbrush, covered in paint & with a respirator on ..... singing a medly of "Just Keep Swimming", "Under the Sea" and "The Bare Necessities".

Weekly Update ...

Mama & baby are doing well in week 29

Papa has come to the following conclusions;
- He prefers gardening to interior construction and decorating.
- Drywall dust taste worse than vermiculite dust
- Anything can be accomplished, if you drink enough coffee
- SFG gardens are inherently evil and will take the opportunity to grow exponentially, when you attention is diverted to other projects



Finally ...... we have decided on a name. "Critter", is now officially Connor Alexander (first & middle)

Congratulations on picking a name! So excited that Connor is staying put!

Sounds like you're keeping very busy getting ready for his arrival...guess you figure you can sleep once he gets here?

Now we can stop writing he/she and him/her. Congratualtions on choosing a name. Connor Alexander sounds great.

I doubt you will be able to get any sleep at all when Connor Alexander finally gets home.

Adding my love and prayers for one more day, one more day, one more day. . . .

I like the name. I have grandsons, Daniel CONNER and ALEXANDER Kegan Walsh.

I'm still chanting three, three, three, with the ocassional four and hope to be able to send hot pepper vinegar for the lab coat bbq.

Just want you to know that today I'm going to try some of your instructions on pruning tomatos. This is a first time for me, i alway let them sprawl in the cages. AND try to teach my son because he is having to take care of my tomatos this summer. I'm going to be working in Vienna. For every leaf or stem I cut, I'll HOPE as another day for CONNER ALEXANDER to stay put.

Here's another tune to whistle while you work, for those of us old enough to remember, "Zipidee Doo Da Zipidee A, My Oh My What A Wonderful Day". So glad everything is going well, hoping everything continues that way.

I quite liked "Critter" myself. Kind of endearing and much better than "Spawn". However Connor Alexander is very nice and most likely more acceptable to the grandparents.

Yaayyyyy for coffee! How would I ever stay awake until bedtime?

Thanks for the update. Was beginning to wonder how things were going. You and yours are still on the "list". (prayer list that is)

I love the name you've chosen!

Love the name !! I'm so glad he's taking his time !!

LIKE the name! (and as a side note, I have a grandson Jacob Alexander)
LIKE that everyone is doing well!
Like that he's hanging in there in week 29!
LIKE the songs!
LIKE to read posts on this topic - always makes me chuckle or at least smile.
LIKE that so many are praying for Connor Alexander (and mom) and sending good thoughts!

Sounds like good news all over the place!

LIKE! LIKE! LIKE! LIKE! LIKE!

I love the name Alexander! I have a grandson Alexander and a granddaughter Alexandria!! Yup my kids love me and hate their kids!

I can't wait till Thursday...it will be an awesome day : Connor Alexander will be at 30 weeks and I am taking a day off from work WOOT

I don't suppose we could arrange a live Web feed of the labcoat barbecue event?

We're fast approaching 5/19/2011....does this mean Critter has reached the big 30? Please, please make it so.

Yes .... today is the big "30".

Mama and baby are doing well & they are now saying that if we make it to 32 weeks, they will discharge us from hospital, until the circlauge/stitches have to come out at 34 weeks.

I secretly suspect they are trying to get rid of us to avoid the "labcoat dinner"

However, In honor of the milestone, Dr. has given mama a "Happy 30" present of a 1-hour wheelchair ride today.

May sound cheezy to most, but to someone who's been stuck in bed for a couple months, it's like a night out in a limo. Needless to say, mama is giddy with excitement & has already called me twice this morning to make sure I remember to take off early from work (I'm the "limo driver" for today).

We've got big plans to grab a gourmet meal at the grill downstairs (mama's craving cheesesteak...LOL) and eat out in the hospital garden (so mama can get some real sunshine).

Life is good

Great new Acara! I hope Mama enjoys her hour out.

Next goal: labcoat BBQ. Dr. is only off the hook if delivery is before 32 weeks and I'm ready to start a collective 32 chant.

GREAT NEWS!!!!! WooHooo! Keep on swimming, Keep on swimming!

So happy for you guys! YAY!

This is terrific news. I hope she enjoys her liberation.

Maybe our southern gardners could make some homemade salsa to go with that lab coat?

Congrats! Prayers are still on the way for you and yours. Woo hoo!

HOORAY FOR YOU ALL!!! Hang in there and enjoy that wheelchair ride! 32....32.....32.....32

I suggest that Acara make one of his infamous tomato sandwiches with white bread and cut it in the shape of a lab coat for the doctor.

Best wishes and hoping for 32.

That's even better than my idea of a cake with a labcoat on a BBG grill decoration. I just couldn't figger out how to get it to an unknow doctor.
