Love, love, love to you Bon, and light, and warmth, and hope, and peace, and the mighty and unshakable powers of the AMAZING PLASTIC MAN. He is all yours, he is all you.
You know of what I speak, my dearest Bon. I’ll hardly sleep tonight thinking of you.

Oh Bon! I knew something was going on with the universe because my bloglines kept loading YOUR blog for the past three days…and only your blog! Only good thoughts for you tonight. 36 weeks is good. I can’t wait to meet your little baby girl!
September 9th, 2008 at 11:34 pm

Oh NO – it’s WEDNESDAY!! She’s going to be a mischievous one, this one. Tell Dave I’ll be waiting for the webcast! *grin* Keeping you all in our prayers tonight and tomorrow!

Wishing you well!
September 10th, 2008 at 12:59 am
Good luck! May you have a safe and wonderful delivery!

Before I finally get to bed I needed to check compulsively one more time and pass on love to Dave, too, for being such an incredible husband and father through all this. We all know you are a cervical warrior, but I’ve seen him in action. This is all of you that made this happen, and with so much grace and hope and love.
And squashes to Oscar, too, with the highest of hopes that before too long he’ll have lots to complain about, as Evan does: BUT HE GETS SPIT ALL OVER MY STUFF.

All the best to you and your family Bonnie. Can’t wait to welcome your little girl to this world! Breathe…

Can’t wait to hear the gloriously happy news!!
Thinking that it may take a few hours for the actual arrival I just wanted to say that I think September 10th sounds like a perfect birthday.
September 10th, 2008 at 2:45 am
love you!!
September 10th, 2008 at 2:56 am
I had the stongest urge to call, about 6ish last night, and figured it was Os dinner time. The universe knows how to send out the bat signal! Much love to all four of you today – I’ll be with you in spirit.
September 10th, 2008 at 3:43 am

Darn you woman, I was just checking to see if there was any news before I gave you a quick ring to wish you good-luck today! Too quick off the mark. Good-luck good-luck good-luck guys, as always we have everything down here crossed and crossed again.
Love George, Will and the bubbas.
September 10th, 2008 at 9:00 am
good luck!
September 10th, 2008 at 9:03 am
Oh baby, here she comes. My words are inadequate for how I feel and the good vibes I’m sending.
September 10th, 2008 at 9:06 am
SQUEEE!!!
And SHIT! I still haven’t finished someone else’s blankie! (must crochet faster dammit!)
oh luck and love and hugs and grunt to you!!!
September 10th, 2008 at 9:07 am
Good luck Bon! I got a shiver reading your exciting blog post this morning. Those shivers always promise good news will follow.
I’ll be praying that your baby girl enters the world safely and that you are able to nudge past demons aside and revel in the magic of her birth. I’ll be waiting on pins and needles to hear from you again.
September 10th, 2008 at 9:09 am
Best of luck, Bon and Bebe!
September 10th, 2008 at 9:15 am
Holy crap!
HOly CRAP!
Serves me right for not being here for a week or so. Holy crap!
Good luck, you!
September 10th, 2008 at 10:05 am
Take care!
September 10th, 2008 at 10:27 am
Praying. Hope all goes well.
September 10th, 2008 at 11:17 am
Good luck. Hope all’s well.
September 10th, 2008 at 11:25 am
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!! All my heart is with you!
September 10th, 2008 at 11:51 am
OMG, I’m so happy things are underway!!!!!
September 10th, 2008 at 12:06 pm
Thinking of you and anxiously waiting for news!
September 10th, 2008 at 12:39 pm
Ohhh….good luck, and can’t wait to hear all about your darling baby girl!!
September 10th, 2008 at 1:20 pm
good luck – I hope this one is the straightforward and healthy birth you deserve…
September 10th, 2008 at 1:20 pm
WOW Bon! Was just checking by to wish you luck for the cerclage removal and the baby’s decided she wants out too!
I’m tingling with joy knowing that everything is underway – that the worrying and waiting and restlessness will soon all be a distant memory and transform into joy and hope and possibility. We’re all right here waiting, keeping you in our thoughts and anxiusly biting what’s left of our nails as your little one makes her much anticipated way into your lives.
May the universe be gentle with you…
September 10th, 2008 at 1:42 pm
Your baby girl is in a rush – exactly the same rush as my Baby! I’m keeping you and your little one in my prayers today.
September 10th, 2008 at 1:56 pm
oh oh oh! praying for good things and a happy and SLEEPY baby!
September 10th, 2008 at 2:19 pm
Praying for you.
September 10th, 2008 at 2:20 pm
Delurking to say I am sending you lots of happy thoughts for the arrival of your baby girl.
36 weeks is good. My girl came at 36 weeks 4 1/2 months ago. Love to you.
September 10th, 2008 at 2:29 pm
Oh Bon, OHHHHH! Friend, I am anxious and eager to hear your news – praying here too. Just checked in on you was it last night? The night before? Man, things happen quickly, eh? You are on my mind and will be, for the rest of today….XO
September 10th, 2008 at 2:57 pm
I mentioned it on Fred, but my prayers are with all of you during this time. Your girl has a sense of humor that is for sure!
September 10th, 2008 at 3:27 pm
Thinking of you and your babe today and will not breathe until I know both are well and happy.
September 10th, 2008 at 3:32 pm
oh my gosh… I dunno why but I teared up right away.
Sending strength, peace and love.
Big, big hugs.
September 10th, 2008 at 3:52 pm
prayers warm wishes lots of love and all that.
xo
September 10th, 2008 at 4:06 pm
I’ve been checking and checking, waiting for such words! Much love, lots of prayers, and all the good vibes in my being to all of you.
September 10th, 2008 at 4:06 pm
Oh, I am on pins and needles. I feel like a first-time dad who is not permitted in the delivery room; pacing in circles and waiting, waiting . . .
September 10th, 2008 at 4:11 pm
Forgot to add, I am praying hard that you have a perfectly boring and normal delivery. Tell your little girl that there is lots of time to be a drama queen – she can play that role when she is an obnoxious pre-teen!
September 10th, 2008 at 4:25 pm
Ok, so I got here late. It’s wednesday. Hope everything is going well!!!!! Can’t wait to hear what you finally decided for a name.
September 10th, 2008 at 4:39 pm
WOOT! Cannot wait to hear from you.
September 10th, 2008 at 5:21 pm
holding tight, Bon. holding tight. can’t wait to meet her.
September 10th, 2008 at 5:22 pm
Oh yay!
Good luck, I’m thinking about you.
September 10th, 2008 at 5:27 pm
Oh – good luck and may all be well! And, again, in my experience Wednesday’s child is full of WONDER.
Thinking of you.
September 10th, 2008 at 5:30 pm
Best wishes for a safe and totally normal delivery. Hope that beautiful girl gets here with a squeal.
September 10th, 2008 at 6:10 pm
AHHHHHHHH!
Bon! Thinking of you and yours and praying and waiting for news with baited breath.
September 10th, 2008 at 6:38 pm
anxiously awaiting to hear how things went and what name you have decided upon….all the best guys
Tracy
September 10th, 2008 at 6:47 pm
YEA!!!!!!
Congratulations to all of you!
September 10th, 2008 at 8:31 pm
Oh hooray! Congratulations!
September 11th, 2008 at 10:59 am
