Mommy math

Just a quick thought. Your heart is the only thing that the more you divide, the bigger it gets. I love being a mommy!

She's here!!!

Well, folks. Thank you for all your prayers. Lola Alvina Grace Crousse arrived safely (and quickly) on Sunday, August 5 at 3:50 AM. She weighed 7 lbs 14 oz and was 20 1/4 inches long. We nicknamed her "Kamakaze" because we got to the hospital at 2:00 AM and she arrived an hour and 50 minutes later! I didn't have time for any drugs!!! It took less than 20 minutes of pushing. I don't think she realized that when I asked her to hurry up and come out, I meant days early, not like a speeding bullet. I will post more pictures later.

One more week!

One week from today is my due date! I can't believe how fast time has gone by. In some ways it doesn't seem like enough time - we still have so much to do to get ready for the baby. In other ways, it seems like too long - as much as I enjoy feeling her move inside, GET HER OUT!!! My sister predicted that I would go into labor yesterday because of the full moon. Here's hoping that I will go in the next few days. My doctor told me that she won't let me go any longer than 10 days past my due date. I CAN'T WAIT THAT LONG!!!!!!!! I want to meet my little girl. I know this post sounds like mad ramblings, but don't forget that I am 15 months pregnant (or so it feels!), it is the middle of summer (crazy heat!), and I am severely sleep deprived (I know, it's only going to get worse!). Hopefully my next post will be as a new mommy with a picture of our newest family member.

My husband the "Hobnobber"

One of the few perks of Robert's job is getting to meet famous people once in a while. Here he is with another famous hockey persona. Can anyone tell me who he is?
