All You Need Is Duct Tape!
I read that 88% of all car seats are installed incorrectly. I also had a friend tell me that their's was installed wrong, and it took 30 minutes for the nurse to show them the correct way.
Not wanting to take the chance of having to sit in a wheel chair for an extra 30 minutes while a nurse shows Clint the correct way to buckle the seat in, I decided that I needed to take ours by the fire dept to make sure it was in correctly.
Well, that and the fact that (oops) I lost the manual already. :)
When I told Clint this, his reply was "surely we can figure this out" if not, there's always duct tape and gorilla glue....
Looks like I'll be sitting in that wheel chair for an extra hour!

They Will Be Watching Over Him
Two people Dax would have absolutely adored no question about it!!! Dwight "Spinner" Powell (Dax's wonderful grandfather) and Ray Swann (Dax's loving Grand Paw Paw).
Clint's father "Spinner" was a wonderful person to be around - It was a privilege to know him. He passed away in April, 2005
He was a wonderful father/husband AND Best Friend to his son. I think this picture says it all. Spinner and Clint Easter 1981
My Paw Paw (my mom's dad) loved his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren to the fullest!! AND we loved him to the fullest. He passed away this past June, 2008

Appt Good and Finishing the Nursery.
We had a great weekend. GREAT weekend. My appt. on Friday went well - absolutely no change - ; ) and Dr. Goolsby informed me that Dax would be here for sure by Aug. 7th. He said that he would not let me go over 41 weeks even if I had to have a 2 day induction or c-section. So now all the anxiousness of going over two - three weeks is gone and Clint and I have been enjoying springing up and taking off to the river, to family's house or wherever on a moments notice or a whim without having to plan ahead. Though every time I call Clint on his cell phone before I get a word in edgewise he asks "Are you in labor!?!" ha ha - so we are getting excited that it won't be long before we get to meet our precious boy!
We spent Saturday fixing up stuff that needed to be finished in the house, such as paint and what not and then put together the bouncer, swing and stroller- and even though I figured out how to put the carrier in the stroller we've yet to put it in the car, so we've still got some stuff to finish up.
I finally finished the nursery!!! - go look at the pictures and get a good laugh. You'll see why.
Sunday we made it up to Clint's Mom's at the river which was a wonderful short trip. Then we made it over to my Paw Paw's house to watch Aunt Sheila and my mom go through stuff and try to figure out who made what (ornaments, potholders and etc.) and who was going to end up with something none of us needed but surely wasn't going to throw away - ha ha! while Uncle Alan was outside with Clint doing the same. We found some really funny stuff like a work bench that someone had given to my grandfather that said "May you live a 100 years and die in a Ford" - okay - that's for sure not what it said but with my bad case of spazzness I can't seem to remember anything. However we all know how my Grandfather hated Chevy's and loved Ford's - ; ). One thing Uncle Alan gave me to take was kind of funny but of course made me tear up is a personalized tag that said - "this old man's last truck." - I'm really gonna miss my paw paw.
Now, here we are on Monday with 10 days left and I have never felt better during the whole 9 months. I could stay pregnant forever if I felt like this the whole 9. ha ha.

All is Good.
Blood pressure has been doing good and today it was great! Dr. didn't see any reason in me being couch bound for the next three weeks especially now that I know what to watch for and the fact that taking it easy when it does get a little high seems to bring it down quickly. So, no worries.
Dr. said he's in a good position and seems to be a good average size baby. Other than that everything is great and nothing exciting. Lightening definitely hasn't struck so I don't anticipate him coming any sooner than 3 weeks. Which is nothing different than what I expected – for now. Wow, I wouldn't doubt it if he comes in August – although I refuse to let anyone else mention that. J I don't go back to the doctor until next Friday.
We were glad to hear that my brother's (Uncle Brian) surgery went well and hope he remembers to take it EASY!!

Fun in L&D
Well, 4th of July weekend was very interesting. Late last week I got my first experience w/ the pregnancy symptom of "cankles." Even though I went by the pharmacy to check my blood pressure, I'm sorry to say I didn't know what was normal or high so I assumed since bells weren't going off it was normal - wrong! We went to spend time with Clint's mother Glenda at the river and had fun with a short trip on her new Pontoon boat - with swollen legs and ankles and all. By the weekend the swelling had went straight up my entire body and Clint and I had to do some time in L&D. For the rest of the weekend and Monday I stayed off my ankles and got them back to their normal size. Now that I know my swollen ankles translates into high blood pressure I know what to watch for and to get off my feet when that happens.
I go to the doctor again on Thursday. I'm down to 3 weeks now! It won't be long. Clint bought me a new camera but I felt so bad I didn't have time to play with it. But he did - ha and of course took pictures of me sleeping that I wouldn't dare show due to me looking like a fat walrus. The rest are funny ones the kitties (which are soon to have a new home - we think) which I'm attaching to this entry. Well... as soon as I can figure out how to work this camera.
My brother has surgery today - so please keep him in your prayers!

Bye Bye Long Hair!
I finally let Marci cut inches off my hair and I love it. Of course Marci can never do wrong when it comes to hair. I really enjoyed seeing Rhonda my cousin and watching her eyes get as big as saucers when Marci cut the first strand - I really got tickled. I figured it was getting about time.

9 months!!
What's on the agenda tonight: Celebrating Jennifer Burr's birthday! (which is actually the 4th.) Happy 30th Burr!!
Later packing my bags - FINALLY! Clint and I picked up a lot of things we think we might need to take to the hospital on D-day at Target last night. We are really making the best out of this being our last days together as a twosome instead of threesome. But we are so excited about our 3rd wheel!! After that's done, we'll be all ready - well as much as we can be anyways... ; )
