Yikes! Sorry if you were unfortunate enough to check out my blog while I accidentally posted a questionable picture. I just deleted the whole entry (it wasn't that important anyway). So please accept my heart felt apology.

It's Unanimous

All 3 of our kids want us to name the baby ELVIS.


At this point I'm discouraged and think maybe our baby will just be named Baby. I've scoured websites, and books, TV shows and kindergarten classes, and nothing is "perfect". Oh well I still have lots of time...until i don't. I'm giving up for now.

Things I WANT to happen this week:

Some of these will and some may not.

1. My laptop to come in the mail Tuesday (PLEASE be Tuesday)

2. My van to be fixed (not sure if that's going to happen)

3. The 2's and 3's Wednesday night class to be super small and well behaved (ha! another doubtful)

4. All my new maternity clothes to arrive (I'm seriously running out of clothing options here).

5. All the snow to melt away (The forecast says 50 degrees on Friday!)

6. My house to be all spic n' span by next weekend. (which may not happen if above said computer comes on Tuesday) :-)

And that's all I want.... for this week.

Boing!

"HEY MOM!!! Can we go outside?!? There's grass all around the swings!"

My kids spent most of today riding bikes!!! How awesome is that?!?!!

LOVE IT!

Leia has informed us that "as along as the baby is a girl, [she] wouldn't mind if it was ugly. But if it's a boy it better be really cute."

Good to know.

1st Heartbeat!

wish I'd remembered to do this for Xavier.



P.S. I'm officially in the 2nd trimester, and my energy is returning. Oh sweet stamina I've missed you!

TML *Tuesday Morning Live* News update:

* A giant chunk of a tree fell on our house Thursday. It didn't damage anything (amazingly) but it did knock out the cable and drag the power line all the way to the ground (but didn't knock out the power, go figure).

*We found out we CAN survive without Internet and cable. Some of us better than others *cough* whiny *cough* Marc.

* I FINALLY made a trip to Joann Fabrics! And got all sorts of great stuff for myself and the 2 weddings I'm working on!

* I am about to get my very own laptop! Which is a double score because A. I won't have to share it with Marc and his crazy Linux program. B. We're getting rid of the desk top computer. Which means less clutter for the Gingerbread House (Holla!)!

* Lemon Berry smoothies are the new "IT" food (oh this baby has so got to be a girl, sugar and carbs all the way!)

*. Gaius would like me to mention that he got some new sneakers and underwear! Which happens to equal a whole new outfit for him! (I fear I'm raising Homer Simpson)

*Friday REALLY felt like spring! I dont' know what the actual temp was, but I was able to go outside with only a sweatshirt and not freeze!!!!

* HAD so much laundry to wash. Not anymore! :-)

* I sold all 9 of the auctions I had on ebay. The last one I think I may have possibly only broken even. And on 1 other I had a negative comment because "I didn't specify that a Tankini WAS a bathing suit" (Hello!?!). Oh well you live and learn.

* We won Full House seasons 3 and 4 on ebay!
