Better do this before it's too late...

Well, I've been meaning to put up a post for a baby guessing contest. Sorry, mine is not going to be as fun as Becky's, as there is not a prize. Just the satisfaction of knowing you were the closest!

Little Koller will be arriving soon and she wants you to guess the following:

Date of birth:
Time:
Length:
Weight:
Name: (And Kaitlen..no posting the original name, just in case!)
Does Daddy pass out?:
Does Aunt Kaitlen make it to the hospital in time?:

Just post a reply with your information.

For those of you who are curious, I went to the doctor yesterday and I'm barely starting to dialate. Although I was very nervous after meet-the-teacher night on Monday. Maybe my mind was playing tricks on me, but I was having contractions after coming home from working 12+ hours. I finally fell asleep around midnight, so it must not have been too bad. Another annoying side effect of being this far along and going back to work is my marshmallow feet. I reached down to itch my foot earlier this week and couldn't find my ankle. :( The doctor says to put them up as much as possible and try to lay down for 20 minutes 2 times during the day (yeah right when I'm teaching 1st grade and trying to get the kids started in a routine!).

I am so excited to have the substitute that I have lined up. She came to meet-the-teacher night on Monday and was with me all day today to help get the school year started. She's also planning on coming the rest of this week...all without pay. What a great person, it will be so much better for the kids to already know her when I leave.

Well, that's all for now...Happy Guessing!

29 days and counting...

Another busy weekend down, now to stay home until baby Koller wants to make her appearance. My sister and sister-in-law had a baby shower for me this weekend. We got lots of cute things including a Jeep all-terrain walker, a grandma's-special crocheted heart blanket, hooded towels, and lots of clothes. It barely fit in the car coming home.

Last night we went to Alan's 10 year high school reunion and it was nice to actually know some of his classmates. It seems so weird to go to a high school reunion for a class of around 40, I think about 20 of them were there. Then we went to Kaitlen and Shaun's house to chat with them, Shaun's parents, and Sara and Jason. I definitely stayed up too late.

After church today we enjoyed Pizza Hut buffet and went to Wichita to see his cousin in the rehab hospital. He thinks he has about 2 weeks left there and is supposed to get his new wheelchair this week. He tried for the customized version with a suspension lift, but insurance says no. Too bad, as long as you're in a wheel chair, might as well have it all "souped" up.

Now, onto Cracker Barrell for some good food and good fun!
