Due dates

So here we are...December 11. My due date was yesterday and there is no baby in sight. I had my last doctor's appointment on Wednesday and while I'm 80% effaced, I'm not dialated at.all. I'm on edge since I'm trying for a VBAC and doctor is giving me until the 16th before I have a repeat c-section. So any of you out there that actually read this blip of a blog, please send me some labor dust!! I want to meet this little guy!

A happy new year with a praying mantis

Happy New Year everyone! I'm hoping that this year is a good one. 2008 was rough for us. Probably the most stressful year of my life. I think the birth of our son was probably the only good thing that happened.

I have high hopes for 2009 with our new President. There are a lot of expectations on him to "save the world" from this horrible global economy.

On a lighter note, during a walk today with my mom and Bubbie, we spotted a praying mantis chilling on the sidewalk. They are supposedly good luck. I take this as a good omen being that it is the first day of 2009.

I hope you all had a Happy New Year!!
