So, we are in Idaho.... Waiting to have a baby! The Doctor wanted me to come the first of the month and be here until we have the baby on the 15th... So, we have been here for a week and have another week and a half to go... We have had lots of time to visit family and friends! My parents have been amazing to say the least - My Dad is always taking one of the boys with him to run errands and is getting pretty good at playing play dough with Carter! I think he has as much fun as Carter does - and my Mom and McKay are getting pretty good at the Wii that my parents bought to have here for the Grand kids... James brought us and then left on Sunday to work this week - He'll be back on Thursday or Friday for the duration!
Here are a few signs you are ready to have a baby:
1. You have to wear your husbands pajama bottoms to bed
2. When you come out of your room in the morning and your Dad offers to go and get you one of his t-shirts because yours looks a "little" tight!
3. When your 5 year old asks you " How big is that baby going to be anyway"?
4. When strangers at the mall come up to you and ask you how much longer do you have...
5. When you check out at a store and every cashier tells you good luck as you walk away!
6. When your 2 year old won't sit on your lap anymore because he says the baby is in the way!
7. When you go out to dinner with your sister-in-law and she has to adjust the booth so that you can sit down!!!
I lay awake at night imagining what this little guy is going to look like, imagining what it will be like to have three kids... to have a newborn again... and as hard as this all is to imagine I know that in a little over a week I won't be able to imagine life without him!

I'm so glad that you posted Erin! I've been checking daily to see if you've had that precious on yet. Honestly I'm a little jealous, even though I know I can't handle any more responsibilities, I still would like to have the baby experience one more time. Sniff Sniff.
I remember the feeling. Everyone thinks that you are cute but yourself. I am jealous that you get to give birth in a few days. The very best day of my whole life. Good luck. We hope that baby Turley comes quick & painless so that he can get loved up by everyone!

Erin,
I have been thinking about you
lately. These last days can seem
agonizingly long. Hang in there!
We're so excited to see the pics of your cute new baby Turley.
One thing is for sure...He will
have two of the best big brothers
and the best parents in the world
Much Love,
The Gunters
Hilarious - can't wait to hear about the arrival - keep us posted!
