Perhaps Saturday

IF my daughter doesn't have the child before Saturday, she has a C-section scheduled. She doesn't want that but doctors don't like to let her go much over her due date because she had a C with the twins. They won't induce if she's already been cut open, so...

IF Saturday is the day, Rick and I will take two separate cars to LV Friday night. I'll stay for a while next week and he'll come home Sunday some time. I don't know how long I'll stay. I don't like being away from home, you know--even for a new grandson. I'm excited to see the twins but anxious about all Rachel has been doing with them--two different schools, two different times, one by bus, one by car, home work for 40 minutes for kindergarten, meals, cleaning, medications, baths, bedtime, lots of play time and stories, on and on and on! UGH!! Can I do that??

IF all goes well, I will still be blogging unless I dissolve into a puddle of useless goo. Rachel also has a bushel of pears that she wants canned and she has no bottles, lids, or canning stuff. I got out of the canning phase ten years ago. UGH!! Can I do that??

IF you have a spare minute and any pull with God, please drop a short plea that the baby is healthy, Rach is OK, and every one else steps up and can help. Can you do that???

Okay weird, I just had a friend that did a v-bac (after c-section) and they would only do it with her being induced because they could have a little more control on how slow the labor starts. Which one is it? Hopefully she goes into labor in the next few days, but if not, that precious little baby will get here however he is meant to. Good luck taking care of Rach, the newby, and the twins. I am tired just typing that. :) You'll be great and so appreciated.

HI JO!!
I hope and Pray that she goes into labor on her ownn before that and NO c-section will be needed, believe me I had 3 and I would prefer the other way!!!Although my daughter did walk pretty slow as well after her Normal delivery, what ever Normal is!!
I pray for GREAT Health and stamina for Grams!!!
Have a safe trip there and back and Be safe and REST and relax, enjoy every minute, you can do it all, I know you can!!!Canning Pears would be so much fun, I know you are going to be busy with the boys and a new baby and taking care of daughter but really it will BE A GRAND Time!!!
It is going to get cooler here soon too, I peeked at the 10 forecast!!
hugs,

Wow, I hope all goes well for her! Good luck with everything. I hear canning pears is the worst of all canning.
