What a lucky kid!!<BR/><BR/>Margaret, you are my hero! Prayers and blessings go out to you as you conquer labor and life without your main squeeze by your side. We'll say some prayers for him as well, as I'm sure it's not easy being away from you all during this special time.

I am getting ready to give birth to #4 here any day. I have to do this one with out my own tall dark and handsome soldier and am praying I go into labor on my own before Wednesday to avoid a pitocin induction for being overdue.

Six kids, six moves, a lot of upheaval for all of us. Red often reminds me that I need to give myself time to adjust, sometimes it feels like we move again before we even get settled. I can't express the peace I feel at being finally settled for the long term now, and especially in a place that has some history for our family -- Peter had his first Christmas morning in this house, and the area is so familiar to us that it has felt like home much more quickly. To know that it is worth taking the time to paint, plan a garden and so forth is really a blessing, but it also takes patience for me -- I am used to decorating with a staple gun, and I am trying to force myself to take my time and do things properly here.<BR/><BR/>I think I forgot that you were pregnant, if I knew, so congratulations on that. I am glad that the heat is off, I felt very uncomfortable with no pregnant builders there for a few months...Mary Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05245101141100590754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4839413630623850301.post-43593108841017844062009-04-05T21:02:00.000-04:002009-04-05T21:02:00.000-04:00Congratulations, again, AWOL, and a blessed Holy W...Congratulations, again, AWOL, and a blessed Holy Week to you, too!!texas mommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10789317984697185260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4839413630623850301.post-60888005156404589152009-04-05T18:23:00.000-04:002009-04-05T18:23:00.000-04:00Great news!
