No Baby Today!

After Erika's doctor appointment today, regretfully, no advance progress has been made since last week. Erika was secretly wishing that Dr. Houston would tell her after the exam to walk across the street to Northside Women's Center and let's get this party started! Baby Jack is determined to enter this world on his schedule and no one elses. Jack is already showing signs of unique Independence. As my sister, Geri, the labor and delivery nurse in New Jersey says, "we have to throw some little boys out of the womb!", this may be true with Jack!
The current plan is as such, if labor does not begin naturally, then Erika will check into the hospital next Tuesday to coach labor along. I'll keep you posted!

My step-daughter Kelly is a mid-wife. When my daughter's little boy needed "coaching", Kelly instructed Jamie to down a tablespoon of castor oil. Jamie mixed it with orange juice and within two hours she was in labor. I hope all goes well for Erika and baby Jack. Some little boys just don't want to leave their momma. You gotta love that, as eager as everyone is to hold Jack in their arms. Enjoy every moment, Deb. I look forward to seeing pictures soon!

Your little Jack is just like most little boys. They are happiest when they are comfortable, warm and full. Erika is providing all those things for him and he is not moving. I know you are on pins and needles waiting. How many times a day do you call? I would be beside myself. Yes, Baby Jack will be life changing. A new little baby to share you life with. I am so proud of you for losing weight. You encourgae me to take another look at WW. Maybe I will try the on-line classes. Where can I get the solution and tips for my Dove Blender? Yes, you have me hooked on stamping. I love the dove blender. Hope to see you soon.

A Peak at 2010 for Fellow Taureans

Year 2010 Overview Taurus always gets tagged with things like "pleasure-seeking" and "materialistic." That's probably unfair, in most cases. You're just as good at dishing out the pleasure as you are at seeking it, and who doesn't like a few nice things around? Sadly, there's been just too much struggle in your life the last couple of years when it comes to those two very important parts of your life. Thankfully, 2010 marks the end of that long uphill struggle . Your pleasurable pursuits have been a little more restricted than you'd like over the course of the last two years or so. That's over with now, so ... game on! The big events this year will not so much be a matter of major happenings as they will be things that have been in the works and are slowly revealing themselves . In the last two years, you've put a lot of work into what makes you happy, while Saturn transited your solar Fifth House. Now that those pressures are finally bei...

Christmas in July Give A Way

What better way to celebrate the middle of summer with a give a way for one lucky blogging friend? Just because I want to, I will be giving away a Christmas box with an accordion album. This happens to be my design and I have already given one away last December. Sorry, Kate , you will have to sit this one out! This paper mache box holds an accordion album inside. More than likely, I will make a minor modification to the box before shipping it to its new home. I really love these vintage papers from Melissa Frances Scrapbook . Her collection of designs and patterns reminds me of a little sea side cottage. I can smell the ocean spray right now. These papers bring me back to a time when I think I would have loved to live…The Victorian Age. But let’s not fool anyone, I want all of the modern day luxuries. This paper on the left takes me back to a time when I played with cut outs. I was never a doll kid, but give me cut outs and I was happy for days. S o if you think you would ...
