A Newborn's conversation with God...

A baby asked God, "They tell me you are sending me to earth tomorrow, but how am I going to live there being so small and helpless?" God said, "Your angel will be waiting for you and will take care of you."
The child further inquired, "But tell me, here in heaven I don't have to do anything but sing and smile to be happy." God said, "Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you. And you will feel your angel's love and be very happy."
Again the child asked, "And how am I going to be able to understand when people talk to me if I don't know the language?" God said, "Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words you will ever hear, and with much patience and care, your angel will teach you how to speak."
"And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you?" God said, "Your angel will place your hands together and will teach you how to pray."
"Who will protect me?" God said, "Your angel will defend you even if it means risking its life."
"But I will always be sad because I will not see you anymore." God said, "Your angel will always talk to you about Me and will teach you the way to come back to Me, even though I will always be next to you."
At that moment there was much peace in Heaven, but voices from Earth could be heard and the child hurriedly asked, "God, if I am to leave now, please tell me my angel's name."
God said, "You will simply call her, "Mom."

Happy Mother's Day----Week 30!!!!

Here I am on my last child-free Mother's Day! We are definitely taking advantage of our last few weekends of sleeping in and vegging out! Yesterday I was in my comfy robe (thanks Cheyna!) until 4:30 and today we stayed in bed until 11!! John and I are so excited to have our baby here and can't wait to get to know him!!

Into Our 29th Week!!

Baby Wes is getting bigger! He now weighs about 3 pounds and is approximately 15 inches! The pictures that are difficult to see are of his mouth and nose. You can enlarge them by clicking on the picture. I'm feeling great, minus a little heartburn, frequent trips to the loo and stretching skin! We can't wait to get his room set up!!

Spouse's Dining-In

We just had our base Spouse's Dining-In with a Broadway theme. Each squadron or group decorated a table and dressed as the performers on that musical! Some even performed skits! Our group chose Pajama Game, mostly because they were easy costumes. We had to follow the traditional "Rules of the Mess" and were sent to the 'grog' for breaking them. We even had to come up with a saying to ask Madame President to go to the bathroom! Our was "Dresses are fine, but pajamas are divine, may I please go release my wine". Luckily for Wes, there was a non-alcoholic grog for the few who couldn't drink!! It actually wasn't too bad! It was lots of fun, and we even had a DJ after dinner and entertainment!


The "Cranium Table" had to go to the grog for taking Jello shots from us!
