I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with grass stains on my shoes from mowing Sister Schenck's lawn. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbor's children. I want to be there with a little dirl under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden. I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived."

1 Week!

So,... yesterday we all want to my Doctor's appointment and found out that I was progressing enough to schedule an inducement! Yeah!! So we'll have our little Alyssa May Saturday, December 27th, 2008! The girls are super excited! They got especially excited because we went straight over to the hospital to have a look around. There's a new wing, that just opened Sprig 2008, called The Women and Newborn Center. The rooms are wonderful! They are really big and have a couch for the poor husbands so that they can get some sleep too. We also found out that Logan Regional allows the siblings of the baby to visit! When we had Hailey, Ashlynn was only allowed to see her and I in the delivery room, but as soon as we went up to the room that we would be staying in, I didn't get to see her, or her me, until I came home. It was awful, so I am really happy that the girls can visit!! Mom & Dad Mackley are coming up to take care of the girls for us, as long as weather permits, and Anthony's parents will come up on the 5th when Anthony has to go back to school. That way I get all the help I can! Three girls! In the words of Frank Barone, 'Holy Crap!'
