Updates and car accidents!

So yesterday we began our morning and got ready to go to town to drop brad off and do some errands before my dr's apt. however, we were a little delayed by an excited driver. see here in alabama, some people don't like green...(don't know why???) so we were behind one of these persons at a stop light when it turned that lovely shade of green which btw sarahbeth even knows means its our turn to go. but since they weren't going, neither could we, but that didn't stop the gal behind us... BAM! at first brad thought it might have been some transmission trouble, which we've been experiencing. the kids were like "WOW what was that??? what happened?" then we realized we'd been bumped. after what seemed like forever, the police officer came to make the report. by this time i was really dizzy and light headed... couldn't even walk by myself (what a weakling!) but the nice red headed lady who works for a spa was really apologetic and said she had great insurance. which we probably won't need since we just had a few scratches. she'll need it though since our trooper is TOUGHER than her puny little 4-runner. (it always seems that the person who causes the accidents have more damage to their car) anyways, brad got someone to cover his classes to go with me to my dr's apt since i was being a whiny baby and couldn't see clearly enough to drive safely and amy watched our kids brave woman, i tell ya!) anyways, after being on the monitor for 1/2 an hour just to make sure things were fine... which of course they were, we settled on the details for delivery. here's the game plan: tuesday the 12,

• wake up, finish packing, get kids ready and go into town to drop brad off for work/school.
• do a little friend visiting and last minute shopping before baby
• drop kids off at friends house and pick brad up at 12:30
• 1pm take brad to get root canal
• 3 pmish pick kids up and drop kids off at other friends house
• 4 pm check in to hotel... i mean hospital to get a pill
• stay overnight in hospital... my mom flys in and picks kids up and goes to our house
• wednesday morning, be induced and have baby!
• Thursday Valentines day...
• friday check out and go home!!!! with a new baby!

SOOOO, if all y'all locals aren't busy, you are welcome to come visit us in the northport hospital.

and thanks to all of our many friends for your help with everything!!!! we love and appreciate each and everyone of you!
