babies!

I AM GOING TO BE AN AUNT ON WEDNESDAY!!!!

Anna is going to be induced on Wednesday morning at 7:30 so that means I am going to be an Aunt two weeks earlier than planned. Hopefully everything is going to be fine! Madeline is plenty big enough to make a grand entrance and doing it this way will ensure that Anna has her husband (Dr. Jed) and her OB available. Both Jed and the OB had out of town commitments that could have possibly interfered with being home for the delivery. I am so excited for Anna and Jed! I know that they are going to make really great parents. Both of them are Christian, extremely intelligent, patient, kind, fun, and have a love for children. I think that this baby will not only be a blessing to them but to my entire family. It has been almost 20 years since we have had a baby around the house!

Downside to Anna having Madeline on Wednesday: I am stuck here. :( but I already knew that I wouldn't be able to get home because they moved some of my test around. Unfortunately I found I couldn't get away from school after I had bought a plane ticket. (it still doesn't mean that it doesn't break my heart to miss this) Another downside is that Katy has a softball tourney on the same day! In Katy's last tourney, they won district! She didn't pitch much, but she had several awesome hits! Including a line drive to the fence that had it been a little higher in the air would have gone over!!!! Katy is really an awesome athlete. She plays softball almost year-round. She has pitching practice every week in the off season and she starts playing in the community league in April and that usually goes thru July and overlaps the start of school ball starting and school ball goes usually into the end of October or the beginning of November! School softball overlaps basketball which Katy also plays. Before basketball can end tennis starts! So yeah Katy is pretty much booked up 12 months out of the year! I am amazed by how much Katy does and she still has a social life, is president of her class, and involved in tons of clubs and the church. She does all of this while keeping her grades up. While she hasn't decided on a college yet, any university would be lucky to have her!

Ugh parasitology is starting.....brb!
