#3
Pin itI am 16 weeks and 4 days pregnant now. This number is based on the results of the ultrasound. The due date is March 13, but I think it\’ll be sooner. We\’ll know soon enough! I have moved from total and utter exhaustion to jusy mostly exhasuted. I have moved from constant nausea to [...]
On the move
Pin itIt\’s been hard to read blogs, write in mine, or even do laundry. Heck, showers seem to have become optional! I was looking at my calendar and discovered that out of the last 8 weekends (the one coming included), either me, or the entire family has been gone 5 of them. To add to [...]
Dentist = Good???
Pin itThat\’s my boy! When I first told him he had to go to the dentist this morning, there was some resistance. It did not last long. As we drove up to the office, Joel said, \”We\’re here!\”. He hopped out of his seat as fast as possible and was halfway in before I could [...]
Miss Independent
Pin itThat\’s my daughter. She\’s wanting to do everything herself. I can\’t help but hum Kelly Clarkson\’s song Miss Independent when Olivia insists on taking care of things herself. I don\’t know all the lyrics, only \”Miss Independent\”, and oh-so-independent she is trying to be… Her newest branch of independence has to do with bedtime [...]
Nashville, Tennessee
Pin itI stayed at the Opryland Hotel during my attendace at the MOPS Convention in Nashville. It was quite the hotel. The schedule was so packed, my friend and I were unable to tour the enormous facilities until 10 o\’clock the very last night. We toured the many walkways and halls, and enjoyed our walk [...]
The Facts of Life
Pin itI got to meet Lisa Whelchel at the MOPS Convention in Nashville. She played Blair on the Facts of Life. So it wasn\’t a long meeting, but long enough to get 3 books signed and have a picture taken (unfortunately, not digital…). I only wished I still had the cassette from the mid 80\’s [...]
Flowers Just Because
Pin itI found flowers in my hotel room. They weren\’t part of the decor. My hubby sent them to my hotel room while I was away at the MOPS Convention in Nashville! What a treat and wonderful surprise! I was already feeling blessed to able to go at all. I was feeling guilty for leaving [...]
12 Hours
Pin itThe amount of sleep over the course of 3 nights one might aniticipate when one attends a MOPS convention. 16 hours was my cumulative total for 4 nights. I can always plan on 4 hours or fewer the night before I leave for any vacation… I\’m amazed my pregnant body carried me through. It [...]
Potty Training
Pin itIt is time. I can ignore it no longer. Olivia is ready, yet I am not. I\’m not ready for cleaning carpets, floor, and loads of clothing. I can hardly manage to rinse off a few dishes each day! I have no choice, but she is making it easy. Huh? I think she is [...]
In Remembrance…
Pin itI want to take a moment to remember my husband\’s grandmother – Jewel. On September 5th, Paul\’s grandma had a stroke. She was in the hopsital until the morning of September 10, 2004, when she quietly passed away – her children at her side. Grandma Jewell is my mother-in-law\’s mother. Grandma Jewell had beautiful [...]
