Very, Very, Very Big News Flash!

Well, the time has finally come to let the whole world know...Baby Burley #4 is on the way and has a due date of November 20, 2007!
Mommy (me) is doing great, and on the internal ultrasound this morning, baby was doing extra great (actually doing acrobatics at the time) with a strong heart rate of 176/bpm, and a whopping length of 3 cm. The other Burley kids are thrilled, and Kaitlynn's question has finally been answered ("Mommy, are you pwegnut?"). Ironically, I had a checkup on March 8th (yearly), and talked with my OB about possibly having another child. I told her we had been debating (about the time one of us was ready the other wasn't), and she encouraged us to go for it. What we didn't know was that this child was already 3.5 weeks in the making! She certainly had a chuckle when I showed up at the office again today. So, that's the wrap-up on our news!

The Creamery...Mmm Mmm Mmm!!!

We drive 20 minutes each way, past countless "reputable" establishments to get to this little hole in the wall because...it's worth it! If you ever come to visit, make sure we take you to
"The Creamery". (My single dip cone had at least four dips in it, making me wonder...what would they do if I asked for a 1/2 dip?)

The perfect solution for kids who wander off at IHC...and they even sell these things at IHC!

All Kaitlynn needs to stay busy is play dough and cookie cutters!

I had a great work space in the hotel, but it's hard to get anything done when you have to rush someone a trash can or quickly haul them to the toilet...the joys of the flu!

Everything in the room was just her size!

Chicken Pox!! Notice inside her ear.

A few of Kaitlynn's spots - most of them were in places I couldn't photograph :)

Greg is replacing Jared as the Subway frontman! (Actually, these were his suit pants before my mom altered them)

One More Class Down!!!

It's approximately 1:06 a.m. on Sunday. Greg is asleep on the couch, all the kids are tucked in bed, and I have just completed HSER 508 (Studies in Interpersonal Communications). I'm only 23 hours prior to the required submission time, but considering my week, this is success! Evidently Liberty finds it within themselves to give us a one week break every four months so next week is my week off - oh, except for teaching Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, a bridal shower Tuesday night, church Wednesday night, a revival near Columbus Greg and I are to sing for Thursday through Sunday, and my aunt's graduation in Circleville on Saturday morning. I'm quite certain someone else in the family will break out with chicken pox about this time, as well. Did I mention I have a week "off"? Ha!
So long, it's time to clear the books off of the bed and tuck in for the remainder of the night. Tomorrow morning will be a little earlier than usual due to the fact that our soloist for the a.m. service called off today due to sickness. Greg and I will have to "quickly" find the Lord's leading and put something together. I get sick of doing re-runs, but at the last minute, what else is there? :)
