Losing Training, Family Stuff

We have a baby coming in about 22 days and I have done nothing but go, go, go on kids school stuff and activities.

In the last two weeks:
Nutrition Meeting with Board of Education.  
LSIC (have no idea what it stands for), otherwise known as PTO.  County wide meeting with BOE.
Actual PTO meeting at Eleanor's school.
Became the Pack Leader for Levi's newly formed Cub Scout Pack.  
Drove to Grove City (Outlet malls) to shop and see family.
Went with Tamara to midwife appointment.
Dentist appointment which turned out to be just a sensitive tooth
Haircut
The Bank mis-charged a $12 check (from my haircut) as $1,949 out of my account.  I went negative and then $400 in lack of fund fees. (Remember the the Grove City trip, lots of transactions for small amounts, fees was greater than what I bought).  Since being married we have never gone negative in a checking account, took them two days to correct.  Not stress free I might add.
Trick r' Treating tonight.  Tomorrow trip to Pittsburgh to buy more stuff.  Sunday relax and bake pepperoni rolls with the kids after church.

I can't wait for the baby, because then I have an excuse not to leave the house.

Good news on the baby front even though you never heard the bad news.  The baby was not head down until this week.  It should have gone head down about six weeks ago, but wouldn't.  We heard about chiropractors who do an adjustment on the hip area and it gets the baby moving.  It is called the Webster technique.  Tamara found a doctor and went to see him Monday.  He told her he only had one patient who's baby did not turn due to this procedure.  Chiropractors on a whole have a 85% success rate.  Sometimes takes 3 or 4 adjustments.

Tamara's worked on the first.  This is awesome because now we are looking at a vaginal birth instead of a planned C-section.  We have been praying about this for some while.  If you don't know Tamara had two C-sections before our third child was vaginal.  The worst part of the story is we went to the same mid-wife all three times and this time also, she felt bad about the first two.  Two C-sections, then vaginal is very rare, so we have that going for us.

Just wanted to post an update you all.
