[QUOTE="hexemaus2, post: 194859, member: 4560"] Morning everyone! Wow! I've missed being a part of the good morning threads! :) Sounds like everyone has a busy day ahead. We do too. difficult child 2 is off for his second day of public school. Two days in a row he's gotten right out of bed, showered, dressed, eaten, and taken medications - all in under 30 minutes with NO FIGHTING!! Woo-hoo!! He's still a little nervous & not completely convinced that this is going to work out for him - but not so severe that he wants to give up yet. This is a good thing. :) difficult child 1 has an OB/GYN appointment this morning. Just routine stuff - test her blood sugar, measure the baby, weigh in, pee in a cup, you all know the drill. We've all been there done that. lol. She has roughly 4-5 weeks left to go (due date is Oct 17.) doctor says if conditions are "favorable" towards her last couple of weeks, we can schedule the birth. He prefers to deliver during normal office hours. He says planned deliveries help make sure specialists are available, hospital is fully staffed, not to mention parents who need to arrange daycare for older children, relatives who have to come in from out of town, etc. So, provided all goes well, we get to pick little Miss Miranda's birthday! :) Hopefully, I'll be able to squeeze in some work on the farm house today before I have to pick up difficult child 2 from school.

We're planning on moving into it as soon as I can finish upgrading the old wiring, new insulation, and adding on a nursery and 4th bedroom.) And of course, there are normal errands I need to squeeze in today - grocery shopping, picking up nursery furniture I ordered, wash the Jeep, run by the vet & p/u flea stuff for the fuzzbutts, etc. Busy, busy, busy day - again.
