We are all so excited to have Becky here....except for maybe Erica (who was about to be evicted from her nice warm cozy belly of a home!) Becky came all the way from Washington state and is here to..... get that baby OUT! And boy did she try too!!! She was having Laura do squats, curb walks for MILES, eat spicy food, jumping jacks, leg thrusts....now this was rather humorous - - Laura was laying on her back, Becky held her legs and Becky would thrust, twist, stretch, and move any way Becky thought would help Laura dilate...Clay could hardly keep a straight face watching these two! (In all honesty...Laura and Becky were laughing hysterically too...) We TRIED to get that baby out before Monday morning (the scheduled induction)...but no such luck. But, we sure made memories as we tried!!!
**We did get some of the pelvic thrusts on video....but Laura isn't brave enough to post those on public domain for the world to see (so use your imagination....a 9 month pregnant Laura on the floor with Becky holding her legs and doing crazy motions...I'm sure your imagination is pretty close to the silliness of the real thing!! Haha) Watch out Becky, when you are pregnant - Laura is coming to help YOU!!!!
All kidding aside - yes, Becky "tortured" Laura trying to get that baby out, but Becky was an angel and God send. She was such a huge help. When Laura was in the hospital Becky watched the other 4 kids - got them ready and to school, packed lunches, ran them to their after school activities, ran the house, entertained Detric, cooked meals, did homework, she was no less than a miracle sister. It was so nice knowing that everything at home was functioning and the kids were taken care of. Clay was able to stay at the hospital with Laura and be a support to her. Thank you Becky!!! We love you!!!
**Preston has his own sense of fashion. He likes to tuck his church pants into his socks. It goes back to the days when he was obsessed with George Washington and wanted to dress like him. No pleading of Mom and Dad to take the pants out of the socks changes his mind either....oh boy! Clay told Laura...I'm sure when he gets to church, he will untuck them. Oh no! Laura saw him coming down the hall for primary, pants in socks and all. That's our boy. Completely comfortable in his own skin and proud of it!
