Significant day for us...

Today is the day I gave birth to our youngest son.
He fooled the doctor by coming earlier than the doctor thought he would labor-wise, date wise a bit later although on schedule, huh? He was expected anywhere from December to February 16th, due to my miss-carriage before him which confused things.
You see my first took twenty-nine and a half hours and of course was worth the wait!
But since I had, had that miss in between and this was a different doctor who didn't know about it; the doctor thought that when he met us at the hospital he had time to go home since it was only a couple of hours, but I fooled him our little darling this time, actually much larger than his big brother (5lbs.12 oz. and 19 inches long) by nearly two pounds and three inches longer at seven pounds eight and a half ounces and twenty-two inches long, he arrived in only four hours and twenty minutes later!
At this rate I calculated that perhaps going in for each successive delivery should or could be at inception, just kidding! And was to never be…

Any-who, this babe of ours, our youngest son, sadly is the one who is estranged from us. Which is his idea not ours; we love him whole heartedly and miss him daily; enough of that sad stuff.
I did send him another birthday card; it went out Tuesday hope he got it on time.

Today Hubby and I went out to pick up this and that and this time we went to the Town Center Mall in Port Charlotte, less than five miles from our home, how convenient.
I found a great black cardigan at JC Penney on sale, a Nicole Miller originally $44 but half price at $22 plus tax! My favorite black loafer comfy shoes too were on sale at Sears for $19.98, their name is I ‘heart’ comfort, how appropriate for this time of year, huh?
I know I don’t walk much anymore except in the house from chair to chair with my walker but I drag my feet and it does do a number on my shoes and so my last favorite similar shoes were nasty worn.

We had a bargain lunch at the food court there, mine was a healthy salad with grilled chicken from Subway and Hubby’s was a calzone from the pizza place there, he couldn’t tell me the name, he forgot and I was sitting holding the table when he went there, so I am sorry for that! I had my water and so lunch was a true cheapo, less than $13.00 bucks for the two of us.

It has been cloudy damp all day although the weekend does promise to bring out the sun longer than the peek-a-boo one we had all day long today!
Low seventies and sunshine is coming back, thank heavens we sure could use some of that, huh?

With that amateur attempt at weather forecasting, sorry Haley!
Oh Haley Webb NBC-2 news, she is our little new momma meteorologist that is out on maternity leave but checks in occasionally on our Facebook page, she, her hubby and son are doing well, by the way, but we do miss her and weather has not been the same without her smiling face but she has promised her return will be in April, hooray!

On that slightly more than interesting tidbit of gossip or is that news?
Let me be the first to wish you all a very happy good night and to all to kindly ask you to count all your blessings and to share those overages and we will too!
And next time be here or be square, ya hear?
