Oh, Maggie!

Well, it appears Maggie is going to be a little more stubborn than we all realized.  Here it is, her expected birth day, and she has missed her own party.  Brent and I are (obviously) anxiously awaiting her arrival.  I went to the doctor today and am still only 1 centimeter dilated.  That makes for 6 weeks in a row!  Much as I have tried to hurry this process along, Maggie is setting the pace.  One would have thought that walking 16 miles over the past 5 days would have done something...but, nada.

Anyway, Brent is enjoying the extension on "his deal."  The longer Maggie holds out, the more often he gets steak and weekly desserts.  Brent is walking around here like a mother hen - worrying and fussing over me (I'll confess it is a little nice).  I'm not allowed to go exercising by myself, carry up the laundry basket (although he still "allows" me to wash, fold, and put up laundry), or carry in groceries.  I better enjoy it while it lasts!

If we have any new developments, we'll be sure to post them, but don't hold your breath!

Much love to you all!

Brent here...just wanted to add a little update on my "deal." I have officially burnt one of my bonus bucks. I only got two during the settlement so it was really hard to pull the trigger. After lots of thought and research, I used it to purchase a set of wireless headphones! Now I can watch TV and movies, rock out to some tunes,or play video games with the volume as loud as I want it and as late as I want to do it! And the best part is, there is no cord for anyone to trip over and they sound great. They only arrived this afternoon and take 16 hours to fully charge up...so I haven't actually tried them for a long period, but I am sure I will love them.

Maggie missed her birthday and her room was all ready.  See below.



We know Maggie is spelled with an "M," but this toy box was built for me by my grandfather and my dad just refinished it to match Maggie's room.
