Just another day
Nope, still no labor.
Got our car back, $4500 later. New engine, but apparently there may be a transmission leak as well. Of course, my first thought was that it was the transmission and not the engine -- but it was definitely the engine, there just may be an issue with the transmission as well. Apparently, after the new engine was installed, they saw that the transmission had no fluid in it, which is odd, as when the car initially died, I had Jeff check the oil & fluids (because I was hopeful and the oil light had come on), and we had plenty of both. So, when we go back at 500 miles, they'll do a transmission service, and we are to keep an eye on it in the meantime.
Parker has been adding "l"s to his words, making compound syllable sounds, so "black" no longer sounds like "bwack".
We are 95% and 100% positive that the names will be either Kira Elizabeth or Aidan Caldwell Morris (I decided I couldn't stand Adrian -- it didn't sit right with me for some reason). Parker swears he's having a baby sister, Kira, so we'll have to see if he's right.
Our weather is about to turn chilly (from today's high of 74-F to a predicted high of 48-F tomorrow ), we're almost at a full moon, and I'm hoping either, both, etc. will have some effect on my going in to labor. I ate spicy food today as well (I can't handle spicy food!!), and just want to get going!!! I know it isn't likely, but a girl can dream.
Finally, we were out today, and stopped at Joanne's Fabric & Crafts looking at the discounted Valentine's day stuff, and Parker knocked this horrendously ugly frog lawn ornament off of a shelf and it broke, so we had to pay $12 for it. I guess going 3 years without an incident is actually good, but it still sucks that we had to buy it and it was broken beyond repair, AND it was hideous!!
