The Mural is Mounted & Dr. Appointment Update

Hello all,

Mom (Colleen) came over Thursday night and helped Larry mount the incredible Dr. Seuss mural in the baby's room. It is HUGE, and AWESOME. Click the Mural Picture to see it in a bigger format! It takes up the entire wall! Stop on by sometime to see it.

Larry, my mom and I have some kind of summer flu, we think. We have all been having stomach troubles.... I did when Mom was here, but I thought it may have been the heat. Apparently I looked so awful, that my Mom hugged me. Now for most that would not seem to unusual, that ones Mom would hug, but Colleen is not typically touchy-feely, and I must have looked like death. :) We had a good time getting the mural up regardless and had yummy tuna-fish salad sandwiches with green olives in it. (Just like Gram Kennedy)

The Dr appointment on Friday was okay. We are not progressing at all. Still only dilated to 1... If we don't have him this week, we'll talk inducement... I asked if we can aim for 8/8/08 then, why not? Dr.Gurney is on board with that and the drugs will be flowing! Hurray for me! We'll know more after the next appointment Friday Aug. 1.

Well, my Mom came to save the day for me yet again. What a saint! She came over and helped me get organized in the baby's areas. I finally am able to relax now that clothes are put away, diapers have their places and toys are put away. THANK YOU MOM!

Larry has truly done a tremendous job in the Baby room and "The Nook." He is such a talented carpenter, electrician and visionary. James is very lucky to have such a talented Daddy. Stay tuned and we will post pictures soon... just a few more finishing touches.

Chandler and Blue are so darn cute! Larry took a darling picture of them. I think they have started up their own support group. :) James is very lucky to have cuddly and cute animal brothers too.

We are doing really well! Thank you everyone for your kind words and encouragement as we wait the arrival of our sweet baby James.

Stay tuned!

Joy, Larry, JJ, Chandler & Blue
