Ack! Tonight is the night. I’m so nervous that I feel a bit dizzy. Sure, I’ve done this four times before, but still…..ugh…labor, IVs, epidurals. No, I never get used to it.
Say a prayer for me tonight. Could you also say a prayer for Mr. Smartypants? Epidurals make me ill and he gets thrown up on from 3 to 10 times. What? TMI? Oh, sorry, forget I said anything, K? Anyhoo..
The winner of the last minute giveaway was Michelle of Michelle Smiles. However, she graciously told me to skip her because she has won a contest before. See how nice she is? That meant Amanda won and she chose the floating turquoise. The winning comment # was 71. My age (31) + Hub’s age (40) = 71. I loved getting to know everyone so well yesterday. I’m gonna do more of these just to learn about your awesomeness!
Now, Ahem, about the babysitters. I knew my poor blog would be so neglected if I just up and left the poor thing alone…
A brave group of wonderful women stepped up to form the "Official Fussypants Blog Babysitters Club."
Here are just a few of the wonderful All-Start group of much better bloggers than I women who are sacrificing their time to keep the blog from getting lonely. Recognize them?
Clockwise from the top- Mrs.Flinger, Playgroups are no place for children, Redneck Mommy, Random Monkey, Sarcastic Mom, Looking Towards Heaven, Cheaper than Therapy. There are many, many more wonderful babysitters, but I’ll let you be surprised.
Tomorrow everyone’s favorite superhero will start off the guest blogger fun-
All the babysitters are wonderful and I’m excited for you, Friends of Fussy, to read and get to know any of them who may be new to you. I’ll slip in some baby picture laden posts, too.
I’ll miss you. Be sure to leave lots of comment love while I’m away. When guest bloggers don’t get alot of comment love it makes them cry. Really, it does. We don’t want that.
OK, off to go pack my bag, pace the house, take a shower and find some ice cream.
Love you sooo much,
Fussy

I can’t wait to read what Random Monkey has to say. It’s going to be totally fabulous! haha
LOTS of prayers for you all!
Throwing up? ACK
Thinking of you! Hope all goes well–and fast! BIG hugs!
Best of luck to you tonight! Nothing like waiting until the last minute to pack your bag eh?
Good luck , hope all goes well !
SO excited for you! Many prayers your way, it will all be smooth sailing after tonight.
Also? You have an incredible line-up of sitters, I can’t wait to see what they have up their sleeves!
Best wishes! So, will the sitter come by and watch the kiddos too! Now, THAT would be a treat!
I’ll be praying for you. New little ones are so exciting, but the medical stuff that goes along with it, not so much.
GOOD LUCK!!! I have my fingers crossed that this time you won’t get sick.
Will be praying for you! I can’t wait to hear about your birth! *Hugs*
Oh, my dear, dear, freakin’ hilarious Mrs Fussy. I’ll be praying for you. May God keep you calm (and minimally sick- poor husband!), and keep your boys at home happy and content with their substitute mom(s), and keep the new boy safe and warm and sweet as can be.
Can’t wait to hear all the good news soon. Don’t stay gone for too long!!

Best wishes to you, Fussy! Good luck, and I hope you don’t get too sick!
praying for you!!Bless you & your family!!! big hug!
Praying for you!! I hope you are barf-free!
What a sweet roster of babysitters
Good luck, Fussy. But you don’t have to get sick after the epidural. I, like you, did every single time. In fact, I got nauseated during my C-sections. Ask for Nubain! It goes into your IV and will stop the vomiting instantly.
We’ll be praying for you, Mr. Smartypants and the wee one on the way.
Good luck. Poor Mr. Smartypants! Praying for you both!
I love you guys!
Big Kisses.
It’s gonna be awesome! BEST WISHES TO YOU!
Yay, Fussy – you’ll do great! And I had no idea that you and Mr. Smartypants were 9 years apart. Wowsas. That means when he was getting his drivers licence, you were playing with barbies. When he was going to college, you were nervous about going to junior high. Oh, I love this game.
Anyway – good luck tonight. You’ll be in my prayers!
I’m so excited for you Alli! I know you will do great, but I will definitely keep you (and the hubs) in my thoughts!
Now, go enjoy that ice cream and shower – it will be a while before you get any more of either!
Good luck my darling! I had a dream about you last night and you were just hunky dory!
Oh I am so excited for you!!! Maybe you wont get sick this time from the epidural.
Have a great, happy healthy delivery!!!!
oooh…we are the hottest babysitters EVER!
good luck! good luck!
Good luck, darling! I can’t wait to see the new little man!!! *Smooch*
Good luck! I guess “have fun” would be out-of-place?
Seriously, we’ll miss you and are certainly sending you and the Mr. lots of prayers. Can’t wait for the pictures.
Why do I keep thinking they are fooling you and #5 is a girl?
Best wishes and I will be including you and your family in my prayers.
Good luck Fussy!! We’ll miss you terribly! We promise not to put the babysitters through their paces. Really. We’ll leave them happy and smiling…
What? What water balloon? I don’t have one…
*whistles innocently*
Fussypants,
Here’s to you and your healthy sweet baby (our glasses clink together in celebration). Take care of yourself and enjoy your new addition.
Tasha
Good luck…sending good wishes your way and will be giving your guest bloggers some in the weeks to come too.
prayers and good thoughts for a puke-free epidural experience! Tell your anesthesiologist we want him to give you the good stuff this time! Can’t wait to see a real pic of baby fussy, I mean I’ve been loving the stick-figure drawing but it leaves a bit to be desired
Puke free is the way to be! Hoping that’s how it all pans out! So exciting!
Ick, vomiting? Another reason I just say no to epidurals. LOL Good luck and happy birthing vibes!
Good Luck!! Really hope all goes well for you and the little one
I’m getting all broody just at the thought of it…!
Best Wishes Fussy! Can’t wait to see Little Fussypants! Hurry Back Softly…
Saying lots of prayers for you. Your Babysitter’s Club looks like a great strong team to carry you through until you are back. LOVED that shot! You are so creative.
You did a beautiful job, everybody! Keeping me smiling and making me laugh and all good things.
Yaaay and hugs to baby!
