Strange Way of Nesting

So what do you do when you are days away from delivering your third child? Bake you say? That is exactly what I did.

Mark wanted some cookies to take to a lady who had a baby at his office a while ago. So I decided to bake six dozen cookies. I figure I can take them to the hospital for visitors and to make nice with the nurses. The funny thing is now I want to take my coffee, my coffee maker, some half and half and some sugar so I can offer cookies and coffee to people. I am not right.

Here is the cookie plan. I have done already, blue baby feet, blue stars, and blue moons.

I will make pink cookies in the same way (I am out of red food coloring and unable to drive to the store). They will be outlined in darker/brighter pink in two varying shades and filled in with a paler pink. Same shapes as well.

Then I made circles that are iced white. These will get boy? and girl? written on them in either blue or pink.

I do not have much left to do with the cookies. I just wonder........it is normal to nest in this way???

Nope you are a freak. This coming from the woman that painted her kids bathroom the night before I went in the hospital for 3 surgeries. ; ) It's just how we use our nervous energy - you bake and I redecorate my house. Take care and can't wait until Monday!! Love you guys- Kiki

So it is a family trait? Good to know.

At least you all can have cookies to snack on.

And at least we put our nervous energy to good use.

Some people clean, some people bake. You're creative, hence the need to do cute cookies and not dust every nook and cranny in the house. :P Me? well . . I just shopped, lol.

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...
