Gotcha. This is Lucy.We have 8 more days until this beautiful baby #3 is born. 8 is not a happy number right now. I know there are some of you that think, "8 more days! That would be fabulous if I only had 8 more days." But to me, 8 is more like
15 or so more diaper changes
7 more nights of "sleep"
3450 more bathroom visits
24 more meals to cook.
So to cheer myself up, I've found some good things about the number 8.
8:
The atomic number of oxygen.
Thank goodness for oxygen. It would really hurt without it.

Eight is considered a lucky number in Chinese culture because it sounds like the word "prosper" or "wealth."

8 is the day of my birth. Where would you be without me?
Oh, snap. 8 is also the day of our anniversary. Of course, that led to you being pregnant, so maybe you don't consider that day a blessing.
Woops. Heh.
"Eight is Enough" Aren't ya glad it's not 9 more days?
I totally thought that was a picture of Nora and I was thinking, "WHAT? They didn't call us?!" So...I was pleasantly surprised for own selfish reasons, but I should have been hopeful for you. Sorry.
Oh, and spiders have eight legs. Isn't that wonderful? They would be lopsided with only seven.
Oh my gosh, I always laugh so hard when I read your blog!! HEEHAW funny!! I especially got a good laugh out of the random picture of Jon with the Red Hat Ladies.
The Fun Run is a really fun place for kids! It is pretty affordable too. If you google Fun Run in KC you can get the exact address, but it is out by my in-laws in that shopping district with Home Depot. It is just around the corner from Home Depot facing I-35.
Broc Obama here again. I've got a favor to ask of you, my admirers. I have 245 former residents of a high-security compound in Guantanamo, Cuba that need to take up residence somewhere in the United States. I'm having a hard time finding a state that will take them so I was wondering if we could continue your theme here and relocate 8 of then to your house. They'd make great babysitters! What do you say?
Yours truly,
Broc
