Mini Me's

I have commented before about how much my children look like their father. They really have a strong resemblance to him. And did from the very beginning.

When I was pregnant with Emma, I wondered what the baby would look like. We did not find out if we were having a boy or a girl and I spent those months wondering what I was carrying and who they would look like. As soon as I was coherent enough to really take a good look at Emma after she was born it was obvious. My baby girl looked just like her daddy. I tired really hard to see myself in her but it was pointless. People now say she looks like me and I smile. I figure they have only seen me and her and not her with her dad. I say thank you all the while knowing in my mind she is a copy of her father.

When I got pregnant with Davis, I resigned myself to the fact that this child would likely look just like Mark again. We once again did not find out the gender though I had a strong feeling it was a boy. I spent another nine months wondering if there was any chance that this baby would look anything like me. This time it was a scheduled c-section and my doctor announced we had a boy. I thought, "Wouldn't it be great if my boy looked like me since my girl looks like her dad?" Nope. Davis looks just like his dad too.

At that point I realized the good thing was Mark could never claim the kids were not his. I had Markita and Markito. He apparently has strong genes.

So when I found out I was pregnant this time, I did not waste any time wondering who the child would look like. My money is on the father. We will know for sure sometime around November 12.

Sometimes There Are No Words

Last night I met a new friend. Let me preface this by saying I have made exactly ONE new friend in the last ten years. This makes number two. My Babycenter and Blogging friend Amanda , was having a conference in KC. We made plans to meet up. I felt a bit odd. Here I was making plans to meet someone I only knew from the Net. But Mark thought it was perfectly great and even said for me to stay out as long as I wanted. He said it was not as if I was meeting up with someone I saw often. Stay out and talk and have fun. So I did. I made plans to meet with Amanda. I knew we had a lot in common. Both from the board and from reading her blog. I knew she was someone who if she lived closer to me we could hang out. But I was a bit apprehensive. Here was someone who only knew me through the computer. So many what if's , right? Mark was actually the one who said I should meet with her, if only for a little while. So, I picked Amanda up at her hotel and off we went to Fooleries. Great place to ...

Welcome, Little One

Both mommy and baby are doing very well. These are just a few from earlier today. More to follow later.

And Just Like That.....

I made the fatal mistake of reading reviews and articles before watching a single episode of the show.  I knew full well I would watch every episode regardless.  I read anyway.  Spoilers? Not bothered.   Let me give some back story here.   At 17/18 my dream had been to go to a big city (Chicago was my thinking at the time), get my degree in journalism/editing/publishing and go work at a big time magazine.  Keep in mind we are talking about the mid 90's here so the idea that magazines would cease to be relevant was not even on my radar.  I had been editor of my high school yearbook and unbeknownst to me at the time, we were actually doing the yearbook by coding and would get printouts hoping we had coded copy correctly.  I just typed the copy I was supposed to type with the weird little codes that had been given to me on a piece of paper.  I would later discover this was actually HTML code we were doing.  Who knew?  This fu...
