No baby yet
That's correct - no baby as of yet. The day is still young though. Sara is getting over her cold just in time for Molly to get here too. She has had some contractions the past couple days but no baby.
My car has been nasty dirty since I went ice fishing with Keith. The dike road was really muddy and so my car got this nasty red dirt all over the sides and it would get dirt on your pantlegs. On Monday my boss asked me if I had gone muddin'. And as much as I would like to have said yes to that question I had to respond with a no. So I washed the car Wednesday night in a real 1.00 car wash (not just waiting for a rainstorm.) Thursday I got the rainstorm --kinda.... I don't think we got more than a cup of water that day, the rest was dirt. So my car went from medium dirty to dirty everywhere. It's just disgusting. From this experience I've learned that washing your car is a bad idea.

Spring Break: Post by Sara
So I thought I would update on all the fun we are having on spring break. Basically Fred is working during the day and I am chilling at home. Its pretty relaxing except that Fred has caught some kind of cold. I have stopped working for the last two weeks of my pregnancy which turned out to be a very good idea because for some reason I can not stay asleep for long periods of time. So I end up taking lots of naps during the day and into the night. We are having fun doing some last minute before the baby comes date nights. Last night we went and saw Blindside as a last date night movie experience complete with drinks and popcorn which we never do because of the outrageous prices but luckly logan has a dollar theater so we were able to get 2 movie tickets, one large popcorn, two mediums drinks, and nachos for twenty dollars. What a deal! And the movie was awesome, I kind of expected a lot before hand because of all the oscar nominations and critic reviews but surprisingly (at least to me) the movie lives up to the hype. No baby yet the doctors have told me I am barely dialated to 1. Which is a little discouraging because I am ready to have this baby. I wonder if I have made life in the womb a little to comfortable for the baby because she seems pretty happy to stay where she's at. ;)

Ice Fishing, baby update
The last few weeks I've been hitting the ice fishing pretty hard. I went with my brother Ted and his kids and had a blast. We fished like demons, had lots of bites, but never brought a fish out. Boy we drilled a lot of holes though. My ice auger was the new toy of the day. I remember being that way when I first got my auger. I just wanted to drill holes almost more than I wanted to fish. And in true red-head Lillywhite fashion I went home with a cherry red sunburn that felt oh so good the next day. We were out there til 1:00 - that's a long day when you started at 7:30.
Nevertheless, I had to get back out there the next week. I was by myself from 7am til about noon when Keith showed up. I caught 3 decent rainbows and even a dinky bluegill. All the fish seem like they died very horrifically but let me assure you they were not.
There were these guys next to me that had an underwater camera and they would just watch the fish come to their line and when it got close enough they would jerk up and snag it in the face. They caught 10 between the two of them (5 each). I did pretty well catching 3 myself. I don't need no stinking camera! (But if anyone is giving their underwater camera away I would be willing to take the stinking thing.) There were a couple goobers next to me that were there til about noon and they didn't catch a thing! I felt their pain (when I wasn't catching a fish that is). When Keith came we fished much but it had slowed way down. Towards the end of the day though Keith snagged a little trout. And let me empahasize the word SNAG in that sentence. If you look at the picture you can see the fish wasn't hooked in the mouth, belly, or eye. He was snagged in the side of his tail! Many laughs were had over that fish.
Sara is unmistakably pregnant and is very excited?! for Molly to get here (her excitement level depends on the day - it's especially low after our weekly labor class). The baby showers are over and we were richly blessed by everyone's generosity. We have lots and lots of girl clothes. If the baby comes out a boy then that is just too bad because he will have to wear pink, be in a pink bouncer, wear pink diapers, and sleep with a pink sheet.
