Where Have I Been?

Oh around.

We got the rooms all rearranged and whew! A lot of work. But all is done now. Except, the stairwell and the room we are in now need to be painted. The baby's room is on it's way. The always on top of things and over the top in things Kiki, is coming by Friday to put her special touch on the room. Which happens to be the entire bedding collection. I was going to wait and just use a blanket for the baby
but Kiki? Um no, that will not do for her future niece, as she believes it is, or nephew. She choose the most beautiful bedding......how lucky am I? A sister who has great taste and is willing to come over and do that? Oh yea, I scored in the sibling department. Once it is done, I will take some pictures.

The awesome Kiki also insisted on another shower to which I asked that she keep it low key. My sister is all the utmost in party planning. And she did keep it low key..............for her. But to the lay person, it was still magnificent and oh so lovely. Know anyone who would spend hours making their own chocolate molds of pea pods? That would be my sister. It was a wonderful afternoon and I really appreciated all her work. Not to mention that gobs of baby stuff she gathered up for this baby, along with the gift of the bedding. Truly a blessing.

Lastly, my camera has come home to momma! They fixed it and it was under warranty! Yippeee!!!!!! It works and I even took a picture of the kids in the car yesterday after we retrieved it from the FedEx people. Hallelujah.

The pregnancy is wrapping up. A little over three weeks to go. I am at weekly appointments now. Swelling like a flipping sponge. I already have fat feet and now? Just downright scary. No dilation (why did the doctor have to check me? I have a c-section scheduled for goodness sakes.) I will get Emma to take a picture this week (with my camera!!!!!!!!) If I do not post it on here, you will be able to find it on my Tabblo deal. I am afraid I am just scary looking now.

And now........some pictures!!!

YEA, we got the camera and it WORKS! And it was under warranty.

Our room looks.........interesting. So until it is painted, no pictures. Lime green and hot pink walls with neutral bedding.......is beyond eclectic.

So there you go. A big long, picture filled update.

No, of course not. You are just not the Kiki. ; ) And isn't chopped liver patee? See that is all you have to do Fid - find the upswing.

Can anyone ever be anywhere near the Kiki? My guess is no.

Patee is good if made right....

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...

Why Choose It?

Judy posted a comment about being jealous at two weekends away from the kids. About how she figured it would be a long time before she got that chance. I have to admit, I thought better her than me to have the new baby. After our two weekends away and Mark joking that it was his ploy to convince me to not have anymore, I have to say.....I think it worked. After thinking about it and being able to get away so easily because the kids are bigger, I could not help but think, why go back and do it all again? If you had a choice between going out of town for the weekend or being stuck, tied down to a newborn who was feeding from your breasts every two hours and waking every three ,which would you choose? To which one might say why ever have kids at all.....fine. I have TWO. I have done it TWICE. Not only that, but for anyone who cares about it, I have one of each. One is almost seven, the other almost three. Granted Davis is not potty trained yet, but he does change his own diaper sometimes...
