day of reckoning

baby baby baby

okay I have no stats what so ever but he was born just after midnight last night. I got to hear it thanks to modern technology & MIL who called me just before the blessed event happened. Yes just after midnight poor C did not win the baby pool.
I am looking forward to meeting my grand-nephew later today! Many more pics to follow
got some info born at 12.20 am he is 7.5 lbs & 20 inches long

costume time

let me start by saying that I am not the sort of person who dresses their pets. Not judging anyone who does I just don't. But Lord help me at Target I actually browsed through the pet costumes. And not just browsed I almost bought Oscar a costume.
A pig costume
Puggy the pig.
I refrained but don't be terribly surprised to see puggy the pig staring back at you on Halloween. And quite frankly I blame C I got exactly 2 Halloweens of picking out his costume. 2 that was it! By the time his third Halloween rolled around he was 2 and in daycare and when I came home with the cutest Kermit the frog costume(if you follow the link I did not pay the $89.99 they are charging for it this year I won't pay over $30 for a Halloween costume, 89.99???), he took one look at it and ran into the other room. I couldn't even get him to try it on so back to the store we went and exchanged it for a Bob the Builder costume. Ever since then the costume is entirely his decision so really it's his fault if I had a couple more years of picking out cute costumes I wouldn't be considering torturing the dog.

and still no baby update

thought I was going to be able to tout the latest for bringing on labor-raspberry tea evidently helps bring on the contractions and apparently it did for a little bit, enough for the entourage to set themselves up a the hospital at 9 pm last night but alas they sent the gang back home because niece #1 was not dilating or progressing. She amusingly had convinced herself they would just induce her why I do not know. She started hitting the tea again last night and I suppose a call to the doctor is first on the to-do-list for today. C is hoping she holds out till Thursday that's his pick on the board.

afternoon update: they are back at the hospital did a stress test on niece #1 and an amnio to check on the baby's lung development. Just heard want her to incubate a day or two longer and if she does not go on her own will induce on Thursday. Now a word or two on the baby board that was started-I did not buy in but was offered the 16th last Friday when she was dilated to 5cm and we thought she was going into labor ha ha no thanks. Joking about it yesterday & C piped up he wanted the 16th he had money and that was going to be his day. I tried to talk him out of it, that it would be a bad bet & a waste of money but to no avail and Meemaw offered to put the $10 for him. Anyone care to check and see what date Thursday is?
