Still Waiting....

For those of you who have called...still no baby! In fact so many people have called, I simply answer the phone, "Hello, no baby yet." I think between my mom and my sister, I was getting calls almost daily last week. This week, just my sister ....when I told her I would call her, she now has my nephews calling. So yes...I am officially overdue, hoping I won't have to be induced on Monday, so keep praying for me!! But at this point in a week-no matter what-Baby Beanut will be born!! Today my mom came over and we ran some errands...I walked the mall and that just gave me Braxton Hicks and a back ache-no labor. I picked up heavy bags and boxes, no labor. So I gave up, and she came over, did some gardening for me while I finished the thank you notes (thank you mom)...they are in the mail this evening so be on the look out! Tomorrow, my sister is picking me up in the morning, Judd needs new shoes, so we are headed to the Outlet Mall to put me in labor walking. I assured my mother this evening that I could be at Evergreen Hospital in 45 minutes if need be from the mall and not to worry I would call her on the way there! The baby room is officially done, with the exception of one swing Dan has to put together, the bags are packed, now we just need a baby!! Keep thinking happy thoughts!

sorry no baby yet...this is the hardest part....well the having the baby can be hard too but holding the baby is the best part.

I hear this is the worst part and Karina is right when she says holding the baby is the best part. Plus you will not remember this part once she is in your arms and it would have been worth it. I can not wait to see what she looks like or meet her.

Good luck on the labor...

Sorry about no baby, but when she makes her way into this world you won't care that she was late.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
It's verrry exciting to have Kalia Erika Ratliff on the outside (I'm sure you'll agree.)!
Not only are we lucky to have her, but she is blessed to be in your family and your extended families.
