I am in Love!

Do you believe in love at first sight?

I do.

When a completely from head to toe blue little smurf was placed in my arms on Thursday, I knew there was no going back. I am hooked for life. (She was not blue because of lack of oxygen, her whole body was blue because of some other strange phenomenon. Really, she makes the cutest smurf ever!)

And so, as the little princess gets used to us, and we get used to her, there must be a seperation from all things that aren't family. So, for the next weekish I will be getting to know Faye, and helping her get to know us (all the while trying to keep a jealous two year old from sneaking her food). I will be back after Thanksgiving with lots more to report on.

Congratulations Amy!!!!! I am so happy for you and so glad that you did not have to have the Pit. I had my water broken with my third. I was 6-7 cm dilated 100% effaced and NOT IN LABOR. They threatened my with Pitocin too but he came on his own, thank goodness!

I am so proud of you and excited for the joys you have in store. That proverb in your last post was perfect...I may have to borrow that!

Enjoy your beautiful baby girl!

I love the name "Faye." So traditional and not at all common these days, so she will get to be unique with her name!

=)

PS. I have a wonderful friend name Faye, so the name has a very good feel for me.

I will miss your post but i agree frist thing frist is getting your little smurf used to the family... Give it time on the food thing... Sammy want to nurse when we brought ally home but it only lasted a few days... Now if we can just get her to stop stealing Allisons binky... Thats slowing down now too so in time the big kid comes back and leaves baby things to baby... Thank- goodness!

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!
