Monday, April 26, 2010. Even though my dreams of sugar and spice and everything nice are now shot, at least he's cute. Anyone have any name ideas? We need a backup and a middle name since I have been busy making girlie plans for a girlie room because I was positive. Was what we were having. And I have left boys names in the dust under the scientific assumption that "it just feels like a girl" so why brainstorm things like Joe and Bob when there are names like Vanessa and Rebbecca. I'll tell you why.

Wednesday, August 25, 2010. I'm in the homestretch now, only a couple of weeks left. One of the phenomena that is commonly felt by very pregnant women is their belly getting so huge they can't see their feet anymore. I don't remember this ever being something I experienced with the other pregnancies, my problem was just that I couldn't bend over to put my shoes on any more. But I always could at least. My feet, even if I couldn't reach em'. We all remember the famous line from Star Wars (well ok. Those f...

Wednesday, December 30, 2009. I'm eternally grateful to whoever came up with the WW concept because after an exhausting day of lounging around in my daughter's leopard snuggie. That doesn't fit her so I conveniently sort of adopted it, and fighting off this obnoxious cold, I just can't think of anything I want to say. Except that I wish it would snow more. Some people say "sliding" but that seems weird to me.). This is closer to the bathroom anyway. Wednesday, December 30, 2009. Tuesday, December 29, 2009.

Friday, February 26, 2010. Every year around spring The Wizard of Oz is shown on tv. It has been for as long as I can remember. What a time. Back then, (here I go again on my "I'm so old and the world just isn't the same" rant) when a program was on tv. With my picture perfect short term memory, I'm curious how I retained any of these annual program events. But they stuck. From the "I didn't know you were gonna kill it! Like our matching jammies. It must be the window scene. I love cake batter. Yello...

Wednesday, December 15, 2010. William is three months old today and I couldn't be more thrilled. One, he has begun to smile a lot and sometimes, if I work hard enough, he will laugh out loud. It sounds like a seal got stepped on. But a cute seal. And two, He has officially slept through the night for two nights in a row. I don't want to get too excited, but the thought of going to sleep with confidence and without fear of waking up ten minutes later is just too good to be true. As in: ( squeally. I broug...

Friday, July 23, 2010. Upfront warning: This post will have many more pictures than words because I am thoughtless (as in without thoughts) and lazy. I'm so happy we seem to be able to make it to the Hemlock Fair every year. It's been nice to see the kids grow out of their fear of rides. (Though Katie never exhibited this trait). So uncluttered with stress and worry. So oblivious to our world's economic and sociopolitical problems. (I'm just trying to sound impressive, is sociopolitical even a word?

Friday, June 11, 2010. I think every parent has days when one child is more of a favorite than the others. Maybe they did well in school, maybe they shared without prompting, maybe, (wonder of wonders) they even ate their dinner without squawking. About it being yucky or smelling gross. I do not expect such grandiose accomplishments from my own children, I know that asking for too much can lead to disappointment and I'd rather be over the moon when they remember to wipe themselves after going potty.

Friday, August 6, 2010. When describing what it feels like to be 8 months pregnant,. Two memorable movies come to mind. Number one, the sci- fi. Flick Alien. Because I don't care how miraculous it is to grow a living thing inside of you, it's still a. Living thing inside of you. Poking and pushing it's way around so much a woman's belly can resemble a water balloon filled with angry gremlins. Because the rest of her is about as happy and fluffy as the Stay Puft.
