Toby has been hooked up to the baby monitor. The baby’s heart rate is at 120-150 which the nurse says is good news. Toby has her IV in and Dr. Green is being updated. They ask a lot of questions like if Toby has a fake eyeball.

Exciting…
We’re headed to Cottage Hospital within the hour for me to be induced. So baby may be born on his/her actual due date – tomorrow the 20th! Appreciating your prayers…
Where They Stay
Gran and GranDon travel in style in their rolling coach. In the past they had a smaller rig that fit very nicely into our back area. Since their last trip, they have the new rig (pictured below) that I was concerned might be too big for the area. I measured it out at 28 feet from the house to the street. The rig is 27 feet long and fits nearly perfectly.
There is electrical and water hookups in the area, so they are completely at home in the motor home.
Also, the kids love to spend time in the motor home to visit with the 2 cats that travel with the grandparents. Having the motor home makes thing very easy.
DinoRiders
Gran and GranDon have been very helpful these past couple of weeks as they stay with us. Not only did they get the kids to VBS in the mornings (something Toby would have struggled to do), Gran is diligently working on making a new cover for Max’s comforter. He is ‘just not into pirates anymore’. They went down to the fabric store and picked out some baseball themed material.
Don has been helpful in doing some of the things that I have been putting off. He up-righted our bougainvillea which had blown over more than a year ago. He also cleaned and installed all of the screens for our windows.
Additionally, when they arrived, they brought a gift. They thought it would be good for the baby in a few years, but the kids (especially Lucy) have really enjoyed riding the rocking dino. Thanks!

VBS 2010
Gran and GranDon were amazing this past week as they made sure that each morning the kids made it to VBS on time. This allowed Toby to sleep in. She isn’t really falling asleep until 2 or 3 in the morning so being able to sleep until 9 or 10 is very helpful.
On Friday of VBS, the kids put on a presentation for the parents that showcases what they have done / what they have learned over the last week. As you can see from the videos below, Lucy loves being on stage. Max only tolerates it, but he did a good job this year.
