So, I never claimed I was any good at this, but it is a nice fun way to share photos of the babe, so... what can you do. I will try harder to keep with it. Life has been so good to us of late. We took The Boss to church for the first time on Sunday, and he loved it. He was so good, and made all of my pregnant friends jealous that they are still carrying their babies inside while I get to hold and play with mine. He is just getting cuter by the minute, so excuse me if I brag a lot. I am kind of new at the whole mothering thing, and I sure am proud of my little one. Today we went for his first outdoor trip. We went on a walk around the neighborhood, and while he didn't like getting ready to go (getting strapped into the stroller was quite traumatic)he really enjoyed the walk. If the weather keeps up as nice as it is today, this may become an everyday activity. He has changed so much from the time he was born to now, but I think his personality is beginning to show more, and he certainly likes to tease. I guess he gets that from his Grandpa. He is gargantuan! At 4 months, he is a 16 1/2 lbs. he is growing like a weed! I have to make sure he wears his clothes at least once, because sometimes that once is all they will get. He and I are having a lot of fun at home now, and learning how to get things done around each other, so that is always good.

May I Take Your Order, Please?

I know that young people must have jobs. They have to start somewhere, but really, there has got to be some sort of intelligence test or guidelines before hiring people. Really. We bought some crown molding a while ago. I thought we would have enough. Turns out, as we were getting ready to put it up, we found we are about 5 ln feet short. Just 5. How annoying is that? So, I called Lowes and ended up speaking with a young man (I am guessing hoping he was young). The conversation amazed me. Me: "Hi do you carry any Trim-Tex crown molding?" Lowes: "What's that?" "A brand of crown molding. We are a couple of feet short." "Is that like a brand of baseboard?" "Well, yeah, sort of. Crown molding is decorative wood strip that goes along the ceiling." "Oh, okay. So what kind of tile do you need?" "Tile?" "To go along the ceiling, right?" "Uh, I don't need tile. I need crown molding."

I was getting a little worried. The baby had not changed in her weight or height for a month. Not since the 22 of October. My midwife was a little worried. She said if there wasn't a change soon, she would have to induce me. Did you know I wanted to go natural? Absolutely completely natural. I wanted to start on my own, and be completely under my own will power. Hearing that she would have to start me sent a cold fear through my body. Evidently, my baby possibly had something called IUGR ( intra uterine growth restriction) which could cause a myriad of problems, the worst being a still birth. A still birth is one of my biggest fears. So yesterday I went in to get checked, praying that my body had changed, that it had dilated on its own. If it had she wouldn't have to start me. At the appointment she gave me a choice. I could either have the baby yesterday, or I could have her on Monday. We decided to have her yesterday. So we decided my midwife would break my wate

Vegetarians at the Barbecue

We don't see our friends as often as we would like.  Something about us being the only ones married and with kids.  Whatever.  So any chance to have them all come play is a welcome one.  Since Jeffrey just had a birthday, we decided to have a barbecue tonight. We are having a barbecue and we don't eat meat.  Kind of ironic, isn't it?  When I thought about it, this video came to mind. Veggie At A Barbeque - Click here for the funniest movie of the week Have a fabulous Memorial Day weekend!
