For those of who you dont already know. Probably few. Chase James McCulloch was born this morning, Friday April 14th, around 11:00 Utah time. I tyler took it upon myself to write this just for anyone who hadnt already been informed, pace and joy im sure will have more information when they get a chance to come home and right. As for birthday guesses, Cotton and Becky won. They both guessed Friday the 14th. However cotton guessed Late friday, so he gets 1st and a half place. Once again, if you want more information talk to Pace or Joy.

An interesting thing has happened to me recently, in addition to the regular symptoms of the end of pregnancy. My fingers seem to be a little swollen, but in addition to this common phenomenon, the tips of my middle finger and ring finger of my right hand have become numb. I think that’s weird, but I remember TMom telling me that sometimes during pregnancy her entire hands were numb. It amazes me what happens to the human body when pregnant. But I’m due within a week now, so I’m hoping that some of these weird things will disappear along with the upcoming birth of the child.

PS – The doctor said today that I’m dilated to 3 cm, and the baby could come in the next three days! Wooo Hoooo!

Coinstar machines — popular in grocery stores, drug stores and other retail locations — let you turn your loose change into paper currency. You dump in your change, the machine counts it up and typically feeds you a paper receipt which you can redeem for cash at a nearby cashier or register. Coinstar’s machines impose an 8.9 percent processing fee for their Coin to Cash program, but the Coin to Card program exacts no such fee — so you get the full value of your loose change. The machine will either spit out a gift card or a paper “eCertificate” instead. The eCertificate can then be used to buy products online. In addition to iTunes Music Store, Coinstar has redemption programs established with Virgin Digital, Borders, Hollywood Video, Amazon.com and other mass-market retailers.

I usually drag my quarters in to these machines once I have around 60-70 dollars worth of change to cash in that way its worth the 10-15 dollar charge since I am lazy and don’t want to actually count/roll these pennies. Now we don’t have to give them anything to recieve our loose change in gift certificates at iTunes and amazon……..BRILLIANT!!!!!!

Just in case anyone missed our little side comment a few postings ago, we are staying in Utah and NOT moving to Vegas. We are kind of glad about that, because the cost of living in Vegas is much higher than here.  Pace is going to work for Bizsight in Orem, which is a multimedia marketing/web development type of company.   He actually has already been working for them doing web design, and he loves it, so that’s good.   We are anticipating getting a house in Orem within the next few months, after we’ve at least somewhat adjusted to having Chase around!

I have a question to raise here: When you, personally, buy new clothes, do you wash them before you wear them? As for me, I usually like to wash new clothes if I’m already doing the laundry anyway, but if I’m excited to wear the new item and it’s not laundry day, then I go ahead and wear it. It seems like it’s not a bad idea to pre-wash, though. Just think about it… Someone with bad B.O. might have tried on that shirt just before you bought it, and if your nose is congested due to a bad cold that day, you will be unaware of your personal stench. In other words, if you haven’t pre-washed it, you’ll stink– You’ll stink bad. And people will refer to you as The Stinker. I chose to wash our new baby clothes, my reasoning being that then the baby will smell fresh and feel soft. However, Pace felt that new clothes are clean enough, so why wash them? I don’t want people to take sides here, because Pace and I are best friends, but just to say what you tend to do.
