TK... I know it's going to be hard without mom.. but you said yourself, you're very spiritual, so just know, and believe that she is there with you and will be your angel.

But, beyond the emotional stuff, I am sooo excited for you, and I never met you.. I feel like we're friends, and will probably cry with joy when I hear about little squirt making his arrival! I really miss the newborn stage. DH keeps telling me.. "If you want one more"... I really do, but I know in my head that I'm at my limit, in so many ways, so no more for me.. I'm totally out-numbered, and you think I get no sleep now, one more would just turn me into a Zombie mom. I don't know how OCTOmom can do it. 14 kids... really... I mean REALLY.. that's child abuse IMO.
You know what I did on the day my kids were born... Well... besides give birth... I made DH go out and get the newspapers from that day so I could stick them in their memory boxes... that way, they can go back.. someday, and check out what was going on the day they were born.... I know the day my oldest was born, was the day Frank Sinatra died. And the second was the day Hurricane Floyd hit... stuff like that. My friend went into labor on 9/11... the day the towers fell, and had the baby the next day, but even though it was tragic, it would still be interesting for the kids to keep the headlines from the day they were born.
So... what else is going on today?? I'm itching to get out of here early. I think it's time for a walk to site check something in another building.
Oh.. and I love that song... I wish I was sitting in there right now, I can picture the scenes in my head. What's the dogs name?? Rover... On the other hand, my DH can't stand IASW, because of the song but I drag him through it all the time, he's lucky it's gonna be closed for refurb this next trip.
Kimmar, you done packing?? What are you doing first?
