One of Them... Happily!

Good Morning Everyone!
A mite chilly here today- My own thermometer reading at 7 below zero. I think we are to get to about 5 above.
But it should be warm by 11:00 at The Olive Garden!?
Sheesh, I sure hope so.

Those of you in the area, please come celebrate with us all.

I do not have much news- (Same old, same old on the homefront here).

But it does occur to me that for all practical intents and purposes, today SHOULD HAVE BEEN Casey's birthday.
Unbeknownst to me at the time, she was an eager little one. It was myself that was quite stubborn.
I awoke that Saturday, barely getting to the upstairs toidy... Not unheard of for a full term girl on her 4th child.
No big deal then, or so I thought.
Downstairs to turn on the coffee and to prepare breakfast for our 5 little kids. Zoe. Jenne. Reianna. Roberta. And Daniel.
They would all wake soon, with hungry tummies...
But oops, getting my ingredients out, I had to use the little girls room once more. (WTH)?
And so it went all morning long...
I called my friend Rhonda and asked her for a pad. She said "WHAT?".
I explained. She giggled. And brought a few over for me.

And so went my weekend. I learned that a 4th child does not like dancing to "Walking On Sunshine" all that much. Nor did I come to think of it.
I had always heard stories about pregnant women who might leak a bit of urine towards the end of their pregnancies, but surely I was never one of them! (Not 'til THAT weekend anyway)...
Oh well, there are worse things.

On Monday morning, I brought Dennis to work so I could have the car; and finally called my doctor- He wanted to see me almost immediately.

The kids were all at school, and off I went.

A cursory exam revealed that it was probably urine...
(Sheesh, I was now "one of those women").

I had a regular scheduled appointment the next day- So a more thorough exam was given so I could cancel that one.
Long story short, and right after my water broke all over the good doctors office, he says, "Scratch that, it WAS your water."
hehehe (I was NOT one of the leakers after all)! But I would have been. And very happily so!

So you see, this little girl was trouble from the onset.
If I hadn't been so busy, Casey's birthday WOULD have been today!

Stolen marshmallows and hiding too.

Later, trouble came in two's...

Jenny Mella will be celebrating with us today also.
She has also just had her 22nd birthday!

And I hope you all have a "fantabulous" Saturday! I intend to!

Love to all.

XOXO
