It's been awhile since we've heard from ExGovtBabe, and I seem to recall that her baby was due in May. Anyone know anything?

She's due June 13! I'm sure she will tell us as soon as she can or have someone else relay the word!

My personal experience is that when a woman is 8+ months pregnant, her demeanor is such that nobody wants it to go on any additional length of time. You just need to work faster.

I once had a customer who knew when I was about to deliver. He said he could tell because I was not my usual sweet self - I was crabby! I didn't even realize it, my poor husband!

Try being due in April and having a person at a Christmas party ask you if you were having a Christmas baby!  I sincerely sympathize with those that have to spend the last few months during the summer months. They have a right to be crabby, even if they don't realize it. Good luck to those expecting!

I wish good luck to those who were expecting about 13 years ago. Teenagers. It is like the terrible two's only not as cute and with an attitude. I know my teenager is good in his heart, but it is his mouth that will do him in.
You try to raise a child to be polite and respectful, but sometimes....

My two haven't stopped yet - even though the oldest will be in his last year as a teen starting tomorrow. He graduates this Friday, and then heads for Marine boot camp in August, so we will be down to one teen in the house. The other one just started her teen years last July - but she hasn't been too bad so far. The attitude monster only rears it's ugly head occasionally with her. I'm keeping my fingers crossed it stays that way over the next four years, while she is in high school.

JulesB, I predict your son's mouth will become rather silent around 4am when he gets his "close shave" and first set of fatigues. I remember the first days of boot camp where all the tough talkers met their match. After a few days, some of them realized how much they missed their mommies and went home to be with them.

Funny, I just had a conversation with my mother about my formative years as a teenager! We both did agree that as wild as I was  , I was an angel compared to some of the teenagers of this era!  All you parents that have teenagers right now, don't worry, in 10 years it will get better!

Dr. James Dobson, who speaks on the radio and has a TV segment one of my channels shows in the morning, spoke recently on communicating with teenagers. He likened it to a space capsule re-entering the Earth's atmosphere. For a few minutes the heat is so intense that radio communications with NASA are impossible. No matter what you do, you can't get through.
That is the teenage years. His advice, just try to get through it. It will get better when they are down to Earth.

Dean, The thing is, he loves short hair, and would wear fatigues "cammos" all the time if we would let him. He really is a good guy, but can be quite the bear, if he is tired!

How about 8 months pregnant in August heat with the FDIC compliance examiners in!!!! It just doesn't get much worse than that....(but it gave me an excuse to get crabby with them! )

How about 9 1/2 months in the middle of August? 25 years later and my mom still reminds me it was one of the hottest summers ever (I was 3 weeks late.)

MARK TWAIN once gave a simple formula for working with teen-agers. He said the most effective way to deal with them was to place them in a wooden pickle barrel on their 13th birthday, nail the lid on the barrel and feed them through a knot hole. Then, when they turn 16 you plug the hole.

My son will be 16 in July and I can honestly say that I don't have any trouble with him. Yes, occasionally we butt heads, but all-in-all he's a wonderful young man. I guess I'm just lucky - or delusional.
