...medically anyway! I am hoping to have this baby in more like 7-8 weeks, but we'll see I guess. In about 7 weeks I am going to see what I can do to start that labor process. :) Everyone I tell that to thinks I am wrong, but they aren't me right now.
I wonder how may parents out there know what I am truly talking about when I say, "My kids had way too many clothes." I cleared out the kids' dressers to their current sizes. I then proceeded to take all the paper grocery bags that I have, haul them up to my bedroom and marked everyone with a sharpie by size. I then started tossing clothes in them. Boys on one side of the room and girls on the other. Once that was done, I then made my husband haul in all the rubbermaid totes of clothes from the garage. I went through every one, marked more bags and sorted. I only have two boxes left now to haul in from the garage. I also have a very crowded bedroom full of bags of clothes. Not one girl newborn outfit is going to work for this little girl because all Ashlyn's stuff was for winter. Figures. Oh-well. Nothing wrong with a baby wearing onsies all summer. :) I am planning on eBaying all the boy stuff with the exception of MN sports team outfits. It'll be a pain, but I don't have the storage space for it all. This sorting experience has made me see that they both had way too many clothes (at least I didn't buy more than half of them). Hand-me-downs are great until you have to store them, but man they save $$$$$. :)
Well, we finally got the kids outside on Saturday afternoon, but it's been so windy that they didn't spend more than 30 minutes out there. I wish the wind would just go away so we could get out there and make some snowmen. I included some pictures of the kids sliding on the big hill we have in the driveway. When you don't have natural hills you make 'em with skid loaders. :)

Cool winter pictures! I also like the wedding pictures too! I know what you are talking about when you say they have too many clothes. That is the worst job to do...sort and changing seasons. I have a friend who LOVES to do that. I told her she couls come up here and do my girls stuff anytime.
With Claire, I tried everything to get her to make her appearance, with no luck. I tried walking (as much as I could do), I tried, ahem..another active thing, I tried eating eggplant. Nothing worked. She ended up being almost 2 weeks late and weighing almost 10 pounds. No wonder it felt like my crotch was going to fall out.
Anyway, good luck to you! You're almost done!
