18 hours

You're probably tired of seeing messages from me, but I'm addicted to this web site! Not to mention doing my own personal countdown. Only 18 hours. Believe it or not, I'm not really hungry. I think it's nerves. The harder part is going to be nothing to drink after midnight and waiting around to leave in the morning - I don't need to be at the hospital until 11:30. My husband and I are going to take the children to day care and then go buy a new swing set. That should use up most of the time. I can't wait. I'm not packed yet - I don't really know what to pack. The more I read the more grocery shopping I realize I shouldn've done. That's ok. I'm leaving a list for my husband and mother. It's great to have supporters. It's great to have someone else do the shopping ( and the laundry, and the cleaning and...) for a change! I'm sure you'll hear from me before I leave for the hospital. Please pray for me and my family. Good luck to all those post and pre.

Have read several of your posts, and notice that you keep talking about packing. Use the hospital gowns, I had read that, but took gowns and robes, never used mine, until the day I came home. Put on a fresh gown and robe,and wore them home. The house will be there, and your husband and mom will not let the kids go hungry. This is your time to take care of you. I am so glad that your time is up. Will look for you in a few weeks, as you start losing. Judy RYN 10/17/02 have lost 116

Good luck Laurie, can't wait to hear from you after you get home! Take care- God bless
