I started answering in the last MMP before remembering that it’s a new week. so thru the magic of cut-and-paste, here I go:

This is Higgs, or it was 8 years ago. She’s showing her age more now…

Today’s appointment should also include the removal schedule - probably by being induced, since he’s no longer breech. I’ll know more this afternoon, but so far, there’s no reason to expect he’ll show up this week (knock wood…)

That’s really sweet of you, but I’ve got to tell you, she’s got a metric butt-ton of books - some were her Mama’s 30-some years ago, but we’ve added to her library considerably. Plus her great grandmother got her a subscription to a Highlights for pre-schoolers. And thanks to her school, she’s become even more interested in being read to, or “reading” to us. Her rendition of The Very Hungry Caterpillar is epic! Anyway - check for a message.

I woke stupid early and couldn’t fall back to sleep.That’s usually the way when we’re about to make a trek. I start thinking about what we shouldn’t forget and sleep is gone. So once I finish my usual morning surfing, I’ll make a list or 3. Then I’ll dig out a suitcase. And make a list for SIL. And refill the cat feeder… holy crap, I’ve got a lot to do today!! 😮

Happy Moanday!
