There is a light at the end of the tunnel
I saw Julie, my midwife today, and we are booking an induction for Tuesday November 14th. Hopefully, I will go into labour before then but it’s really nice to know that there is an end date to all of this. In the meantime, I’m going to try all the tricks I’ve heard about to induce labour naturally. Wish me luck!

Happy Shopping!!!!
Everyone lost!
No one has picked a day past Friday for the baby pool. It’s now Saturday and Junior has yet to make his/her appearance. We’re still in waiting mode right now but will be discussing induction with my midwife when I see her again on Wednesday. Here’s hoping that something happens before then though. Jason’s mum is arriving from England today for 10 days to meet her new grandbaby and I don’t have one for her yet!
Making Donuts
Last night while Andrea, Andrew and Matthew carved a couple of pumpkins (pictures of that later), Julia and I made donut balls. I had a recipe around for a while that I wanted to try. Our first couple burned the second we put them in the oil. I guess it was too hot 🙂
We figured out the right temperature and went to work.
For our first try, they weren’t too bad. They are sour cream-based, so they are a little heavy, and I probably should have cooked them slightly longer at a slightly lower temperature. But otherwise they were pretty good. We put icing sugar on them and it was just like being a a carnival!
Today’s the day
So today is my due date, fingers crossed something will happen soon. Anyone want to guess when Junior will make his/her arrival?
Hit and RUN
Hey everyone I believe I have neglected to tell you all that my car was hit last Wednesday night. It was parked and I was just about to pull out to run to Walmart and an old man missed the turn and hit the drivers side of my car. He was going very slowly and seemed very confused. I yelled, “you hit my car!” and he told me it was my own **** fault because I was driving in the middle of the road. (Remember my car was PARKED) Hahahaha. He also refused to pullover and he drove away.
I am fine I was a tiny bit shook up but the insurance company has been very nice and are taking care of it all. They have also assured me that they believe the accident was 0% my fault, 100% the other drivers fault so my insurance premiums wouldn’t go up! Yeah!
Who knows by the end of this my car may even look better than it did before!!
Lisa 4, Julia 3, Graham 1, Andrea 0
No, that’s not the score of a game from last night’s Family Home Evening. It’s how many cinnamon rolls we all ate (Andrea left before they were done in the oven).
Where’s the head?
Some people haven’t been able to figure out where the head is (ok… it’s Julia). I’ve created a short animation (it loops through it repeatedly) with a little drawing over the head:
