"Earth's crammed with heaven, And every common bush afire with God, But only he who sees takes off his shoes, The rest sit 'round it and pluck blackberries."

A conversation between E and her lunch, and other sundry news...

Chicken Nugget: Where is my father? Where is my father?
E: It is in my tummy.
Chicken Nugget: Please, can I go there to?
E: Of course, I would not forget you. No, I would not forget you.

Thank you for the book suggestions. I have read Book Thief and Life of Pi, both very good. I've been told by everyone to read the potato book, and almost bought it once. I will have to move forward on that one. I am on goodreads, but I'm definitely a delinquent and haven't the foggiest what my password is. Perhaps I'll repent. If I get over being extremely lazy.

As for an explanation of our braxton hicks, we do have a school who has asked us on a first date - no marriage plans yet. It's been fun to learn about them, and I think our family would be happy there. Justin flies out next Friday, we'll see how it goes. Either the hospital will admit us and we'll get on with the birth, or they'll look at us like we're crazy and send us back home because we are negatively dialated.

Don't you love how I'm mixing my metaphors? It makes for highly sensical reading.

I have to admit, half-way through your first sentence using the braxton hicks metaphor, I was REALLY CONFUSED, then I started to LAUGH!!! I think it was a GREAT METAPHOR!

Can't wait to see this new "baby" WHATEVER IT LOOKS LIKE! I am CERTAIN that it will be VERY HEALTHY AND HAPPY!

BEST WISHES!
