Good Morning to Everyone. She still has had the baby. They are calling it small labor contractions. Nothing that is sending her to the hospital. Doctor said this could go on for a few day, then they'll think about inducing. Bummer, I want my new granddaughter. Just have to wait for her arrival.

Shawn mom it sounds like you're making a lot of great memories . We also took a trip before she left. My daughter ended up shipping 3 months early. Her PIR was last October . She is a Nuke. I sure miss her but love it when she calls to chat. That was the worst part of boot camp for me, not being able to talk with her.

One of a lot have they told you what names they're thinking about?

Shawn mom remind me when in December. My sailor is fine, just starting her last school. She says it's hard but she thinks she'll make it. The PIR groups on this site will be great help for you once your daughter has her PIR date. How are you both doing?

Good Afternoon Everyone. Well my daughter might be going to the hospital to have my granddaughter. Her husband stayed home today and when my son called to see if he was needed. He babysits so she can go to class, she was in a hurry to get off the phone.

Oneofalot, congratulations on the upcoming birth! I know you must be super excited!
Oleander, how did the Halloween Festivities go?
Blondie - how was your interview and what was the state of the office after you'd been out so long? I hope they didn't leave a mess for you.
We're expecting an all time record high for the month of November here today - 85! Holy cow. Where is fall???

Good Morning to Everyone. Well my doctor's appointments went well. Now back to work. Oh Christina will be going into labor any day now. They did a procedure to induce labor. It can take up to 3 days. So I could be a grandma again very soon.
