Well, if I don't go into labor tonight - this baby is just not ready! I took the kiddos and one of their friends to the Botanic Gardens today. After walking around for several hours (and sitting and chatting with friends for a while), the clouds moved in. It started sprinkling, so we headed to the car. Then all heck breaks loose and we hurry faster. Halfway to the car, this HUGE crash of thunder and lightening hits right over our heads, so we run full out the rest of the way to the car (may I just interject here that it is really, really sad when you get smoked by two six year olds - one in flip flops - and a four year old! Of course, I was pulling the wagon with a two year old in it!

). We got totally soaked and it started hailing before we got to the car. It must have been pretty comical to watch this hugely pregnant woman running to the car, pulling a wagon, getting smoked by small children, then trying to quickly buckle in a toddler in the hail! Oh well, after all that - if I don't go into labor - I'm just gonna figure that we're in for the long haul!
