My lack of recent postings can all be attributed to the fact that I have finally slowed down! I'm sad about that, but also I'm excited that I feel ready to have this baby and progress to the next stage of being uncomfortable and in pain. So, here is the plan. My due date is Sept. 20th--the same day Jon's parents fly in. My doctor had me scheduled for a Sept. 26th induction, but I am done and ready and because I get to say when my babies are born we bumped up the induction to Sept. 21st at 9:30 am. Several kind neighbors and friends from church have volunteered to be back up in case this baby decides to come before. It would be 'funny' if I go into labor on my own next Tuesday while Jon is at an out-of-town meeting. But I am prepared--I have a plan. My plan is he can meet me at the hospital while I take the train in! It's a 45 minute drive and I wouldn't want to get stuck in traffic. :) I am hoping this baby will be content enough with the exciting story of being born in London at a famous hospital (the only private hospital in London--many famous women have given birth at The Portland Hospital).
Do we have a name picked out?
No, unless you count Baby.
Do we have a list of names?
Yes, Jon has his list, I have mine, Emily has hers and Rachel agrees with Emily's and Hannah thinks we all have babies inside us named Baby.
Are the girls excited?
Now that we know the due date we are all doing a countdown. All three girls helped set up all the baby stuff and Hannah loves to play with the swing, bouncy and car seat which looks so cute and I think "Ahh, she'll love having a baby around." But then when I told Hannah the baby was sleeping (she was playing a little too rough around me) she screamed "Boo" into my belly and then laughed. Hilarious now, but maybe not so funny in a few weeks!

It's so close!!! I can't believe it-- I'm sure can't wait. Thanks for the post and update even though you have "slowed-down". Sara, your "slow-down" is most other's normal. :) Good luck next week- you are in our prayers!
I have been looking at your page every day to see if you had the baby yet. I couldn't remember what your due date was. I am scheduled for an Oct. 5th c-section, so of course I am extremely envious that you will be done before I am. Your family is having so much fun. What a great experience there. Good luck with the baby and I look forward to seeing pictures!
Wow, you are almost there! That is crazy that you have a set date to when your new little baby is going to be here. By the way, that is VERY cool that your sister was on TV! Ally and Josh love that show and loved watching the clip.
AHH the countdown! Lots of love and good luck to you as you deliver the next Hamilton, 'baby' (not on a train!) ... and don't forget... I have my name preference list too = )...
we are looking forward to seeing photos of your newest darlin' girl.
Thinking of you!

Hannah is so funny. I miss that little spitfire. She needs to come push Alton around some more. :)
