So dude, we totally can't wait to see you and Joe (and soon little Joe Joe), it does seem like it has been forrrrrreeeevvvvveeerrr. (Man, did that sound "So. Cal" enough for you?)
Love you and miss you as always!
Your Sister,

Hi Mich! I found myself laughing out loud while reading your adventure to the hospital. Not so much about the experience, as I know it can be scary, but more about your way with words. You have a gift.
Cant wait to see you at your baby shower! Once you have a shower, it finally feels so real! Seeing all the cute baby things and smelling all the baby smells of lotion, etc.
I miss those baby days...They go fast - then you have the fun teen years!! Ill tell you a few stories some day. For now, I wont scare you.
Take care of you and Joey! Love, Kathy Webb

Well it's 4:00 am, can't sleep so I was thinking this will be Michele and Joe soon. It's all good tho. What a blessed event coming up. Just got your baby shower invitation, can't wait. My friend Joan, Gramma, will be the 1st gramma in our circle of friends as it should be since she was the 1st mom Just thinking about you all, sorry it's 4:00 am tho.

Hey Michele! Thanks for writing in my guestbook. And, I too have out grown my favorite maternity outfit. But, the good side is not too much longer until no more maternity clothes. As for the unmedicated birth, if my mom could do it with both my brother and I, I know we can. She is the biggest wimp in the world. She claimed that my brother was awful pain, but she said her labor with me really wasn't all that bad (painful, but not THAT bad). So, I'm confident that you and I will do just fine.
Isn't it crazy how people that aren't pregnant become so much smarter than those who are pregnant. I think the advice receiving started about a month ago from me. Even the girls that I work with are counting my calories, b/c they think I'm gaining weight too fast. I love it when people make you feel more self-conscious than I already was to begin with. Well, cheers to ignoring bad advice.
And, likewise, I definitely want to see baby pictures as soon as your little one is ready to say "cheese" to the bright flash. Take care.
Hi. You signed my guestbook about wanting a natural delivery. I'll tell you that it was the most amazing experience in my life to feel everything as it happened to my body...just the way it was supposed to. I had *a lot* of people telling me that I would change my mind when I got to the hospital, too. And it only made me more determined to have a drug-free delivery! Sure, it was uncomfortable, but labor is supposed to be hard work.
Good luck in whatever you choose for you and your little one.

Shell-Belle......Oh my goodness, you had me cracking up as I was reading about your adventure last night, you are too funny! Not funny for you at the time, but funny reading your thoughts. And it's still a very good thing that you checked out everything just in case! And, HAD I known you were there at the time, you couldn't have kept me from getting there fast enough!! I could have gotten the food for you and little Joey myself and held your hand as you waited. I would have sang with you as well, but oh my, we wouldn't want the poor little guy to start crying from hearing how horrible his ol' Gramma carries a tune....he'll not want me to sing to him! I'll just read the stories to him if that's okay. Just glad it all turned out okay and you both are healthy. You're a lucky girl to have such a loving husband who worries about his special wife and baby boy. I agree with Jenn, we need some new pictures...you are the cutest pregnant mom to be I've ever seen. I LOVE to see your growing tummy. Love you lots....Mom
