My biggest nightmare is being stranded on the farm with no way to get to the hospital. I've been stranded out here for over 3 days before. A couple years ago, the QC has a HUUUUGE ice storm. Kurt's parents were in the Domincan, so we loaded up the dogs and came out to make sure his Grandpa was okay. The farm we live at has a generator but the farmhouse his gpa lived in at the time did not. This is when like 200,000 people in the QC were without power. So, needless to say, we were stranded here with no way out for 3 days :)
According to Kurt's mom, if this happened, it means the Dixon Volunteer Fire Dept. would be delivering the baby. This also means I'll die of embarrassment. Hello, Kurt KNOWS THESE PEOPLE. Not to mention, I assure you, I'm not into home birth nor are we in any way prepared for it. I'll take the hospital, por favor, with a staff of people used to seeing people in labor all day, every day. Oh yeah, and the epidural guy (aka my BFF on delivery day) is also hanging out there. No boiling pots of water and stacks of old towels for this gal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyway, due to this HIDEOUS weather, I've been locked in the casa for two days. The awesome thing is our internet connection rocks for living in the sticks and having a random telephone company be in charge of it. It's way faster than our mediacom high speed we had in town. I am impressed! Therefore, I've been able to work from home (getting ready for closing - ugh) and get a ton of work done! I'm getting a little restless, however. lol. We did go to Kurt's parents' house earlier (in the truck, obviously) and the highway was a total whiteout. Not trying to roll the lil Audi on a sheet of ice in a whiteout. Ha. I have enough problems staying on the road as it is! I normally don't love working from home but now I do! All the time I spend DRIVING to work is spent WORKING ON WORK! :)
Belle's school got cancelled today. She was so happy! She slept a lot of the snow day away though since she didn't even wake up until 10:30! She had for over 13 hours! Early this a.m., while she was sleeping and I was working, Kurt was having fun with the new gator. Apparently, they bought a blade for it to plow the driveways:
Yes, this is a picture of the frontish/sideish of our yard. Yes, I was serious when I said we live in the middle of nowhere, as you can see. :) Anyway, I'm sure he was having fun and did a great job, but the dogs inside were barky barky barky hearing him plow the snow.
Nothing exciting to report on Baby! He seems to be doing well :) He'll sleep awhile, then squirm awhile. He doesn't appear to be in a huge hurry to get out and meet his cabbage patch siblings that are still hanging out in his room (see post from the other day).
This weekend I plan to pack all of our bags, just in case. I have a tendency to travel heavy. lol.
Oh, and as promised, here is a pic of our Xmas tree!! We love it!!!
Please ignore the curtains. I'm working on some new ones :) I think I have them picked out but haven't fully committed...yet. :)Hope everyone is doing great on their Xmas shopping! I am ALMOST done with Belle! I wanted to make sure she is done early in case I have the baby and someone else needs to play Santa. :) As soon as I make my final American Girl decisions for her, she will be done and I can get them wrapped and hidden away. Then on to everyone else!!
Mucho love to everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love,
~Us
