For those already engaged in the story, here’s the lowdown… I got nothing!!

For those not engaged – Mom bought us a $5 lotto ticket as an anniversary gift (well, as a very small part of the anniversary gift). I scratched if off and won $5. Yay! So I traded it in for another $5 ticket – which won me $10! Sadly, the next store we stopped at didn’t have $5 or $10 tickets, so I got 5 $2 tickets (in hindsight, I think this was my downfall). Scratched them and won $2 :) Almost forgot to trade it in before we left NY, so we stopped at the last gas station on the border. Traded it in for another $2 ticket and won nothing :( Very sad. But it was a good adventure for the weekend :)

I think it’s been awhile since I’ve posted an update. We went down to Franklin for the weekend and had a very nice time. Joyce just got home from college (I think she wanted to see the big belly!). We ended up getting a sweet hotel room too :) And I finished knitting my first ever sweater!!! Yay! I’ve tried grownup sized ones and never finished, but the baby sized one went much quicker :) I’ve even started a second baby sized one.

We are now officially 9 days from the big day. I met an old friend this weekend who said she had both of her babies on their due dates! I told her that’s just amazing. Statitics show that only 5% (I think) of women deliver on their due dates – and she did twice! I thought that was pretty cool. We went to a child fair sponsored by the hospital down there this weekend. Got lots of free samples and met people I know. Crazy.

Anyway, I’m tired now and I have a long day tomorrow, including my 39wk appointment. I’ll post more later.
