Went to my doctor yesterday...if our little racer doesn't show on her own in the next week I will be induced April 10th. It's 6 days ahead of my adjusted due date and 1 day behind my original due date. Excited and a little scared at the fact she will be here in less than 2 weeks. :)

She'll probably be happiest in the racecar!!! Naps and all... :D Can't wait to meet the new little Crum!
Ours turned 4 yesterday! Can't believe we've kept the little cone heads alive that long.

And yes time flies. It seemed like I was just 20 years old last weekend driving a Honda 50 mini-bike through a slalom of chairs. Oh wait, that was last week.......nevermind.
Come on Darcie, you can do it. Praying for you.
I almost missed my first son's birth because I got hungry and went to the cafeteria for a hamburger. My wife was screaming - FIND MY HUSBAND!!!!! Fortunately I heard them paging me and made it in time to be there.
So on the next child, she didn't let me leave the room. When I cut his umbilical cord, he pissed on me. No respect. :)
I have wanted to do that to you several times.Quote:

Smoked a brisket and made some ABTs with chirizo and got creative with a smoked Tequila pineapple. OMG...the pineapple was fantastic! Gonna be on the menu the next time I invite folks over (stay tuned on details on that - keep April 21st free if you are in DFW or interested in making the drive up ).
Uh, I'm not really sure how to feel or even respond to that. :confused:Quote:

Just noticed that the car Will Smith drives in Irobot (2004) is the concept for the Audi R8.....random
What's the update... new racer on the way...Quote:

She'll start on the less aggressive meds first and see if that does it, we'll call these "Keystone"... she'll hit the hard stuff later, if needed - we'll refer to those as "Dr. Frank's Sippin Hooch". Cross your fingers "Keystone" does the trick.
It's possible her anesthesiologist will be a racer friend too. He runs a Porsche with CVAR (the orange Jagermeister car) and we've run on the same LeMons team a couple times.
Make sure if she ops for an epidural (my wife would highly recommend one both personally and professionally) they put it on a pump. Much better then having to redose if it starts to wear off right when she needs it the most. As my wife says, there is no blue ribbon for going natural. Medicine has come a LONG way for a reason.Quote:

+1 epidural! Remind her the only trophy is the baby,no one will kid her for taking medicine. My wife swears by the epidural, without it she would have been swearing at me!
Anna delivered all four of our kids w/o epidural...tough girl my Anna. I myself was doped up for weeks before and after...never felt a thing.Quote:

Anna just didn't trust anesthesiologists (personal experiences). So we agreed no epidural.
Pretty sure if we had a kid today it would be a no-brainer...go epidural!
Interestingly many of those early studies were poo poo'd in later years but studies in the last 10 years seem to support both conclusions afterall (I looked into it again when my sister was pregnant).
Anna delivered Chelsea and Cameron so fast I almost missed both while I was changing into scrubs.
I assume you all know Darcie had the little curtain climber yesterday. Audrey Elise Crumpacker was born just afternoon. 7lbs. 9oz of a beautiful little girl.
Great job Darcie!

Congratulations on the new pit crew!
Congrats!Quote:

Reviewed the Federal Income Tax filing yesterday...How much of my F*'n money does the government need? I get the pleasure of writing an additional check that smells a lot like a couple seasons of a two car CMC team.To pretend I feel better, I dropped the White House a note asking when Mr. President, "who has been blessed, and has the ability to pay more taxes," is actually going to pony up and write the check.Let me know if you're going to vote for his second term... should be a lively converstion.
You know where I stand on that SOB.Quote:

My condolences to Dave and his wallet. I get really p!$$ed every year when Kendra and I pay our taxes... Especially because we see the dirtbags milking welfare on a daily basis.
Vote democratic....its easier than working! Lol!Quote:

The president's effective tax rate was 19%, compared with an effective tax rate of 14% for 2010 for the probable Republican presidential nominee, Mitt Romney. The campaign hasn't released Mr. Romney's 2011 tax return.
Good for Romney- clearly can manage his own money - not sure he can mine, but clearly better than Obama...no reason any of us should be paying more than 14% effective rate if a) just 50% waste eliminated and b) budget balanced year to year. Canada has a lower effective tax rate than the US does...Quote:

And don't get me started on private real property ownership when you have to rent it back from the State every year..
Apparently "what we did today" was talk about politics :)
Watched the RM boys run at PPIR in Colorado. Great racing and great food. Tommie is still fast, with Cody, RayBob and Chris giving him some challenges. Had 17 AI and CMC cars. Pretty good turnout. No contact.

Seems contradictory, but what do I know.
