Well, the Mall Crawl’s almost at a close – two more days until it’s all done, then the REAL fun (yes, that’s sarcasm) begins. It’ll be as if I’ve crawled under a rock and no one will ever find me again. The truth will be that I’m copying and pasting my poor fingers to the bone. I hate the two weeks immediately following EVERY Mall Crawl, so it’s not like this will be at all unusual.

We had a great Thanksgiving with our friends. It was nice to have a big Thanksgiving dinner, without suffering through two weeks of leftovers. We had a wonderful visit, with lots of time for games and chatting and just hanging out. They left the day after Thanksgiving, and are sorely missed!

Last night, I took Adam and Kayla out to see Zathura. They both pronounced it “a little bit scary”, but both also enjoyed it. Adam complained later in the day of a sore tummy, prob...

It’s a girl! Well, it’s 90% girl, 10% doctor-leaving-room-to-cover-his-ass. I still think I saw lips, and so did the doctor. In fact, at one point the doctor flat-out said, “That’s a baby girl.” So Lindsey Nicole it is! She’s still estimated to be due February 15th, though she’s measuring about a week and a half older. That’s completely normal for my babies, who tend to be a pound or two larger than normal, anyway. My own vitals (weight, blood pressure, urine stick) are fine, and they did the glucose test today. He should have the results early next week.

This time, we had a couple of extra spectators for the ultrasound. Adam wasn’t interested in watching, but both David and Mary were, so Terry stayed in the waiting room with Adam and the rest of us trooped back. Dr. Parsons was wonderful about the extra people, of course. I mean, after all, he IS the coolest doctor, EVER. Next appointment, ...

Visiting With Friends

We’ve had some friends visiting with us for the last few days – Terry and her children, David and Mary. We’ve had lots of fun, playing lots of card games, and Boggle, and Candyland, and computer games. Adam, Kayla, and Thomas have really enjoyed having all of the extra adults and near-adults around to get attention from. I don’t really remember the last time I saw Mike laugh so much (or cook so much!). I took the teenagers out last night to visit the mall and a couple of other places. The “mommy” in me sort of choked when I sent them off to the mall on their own, with plans to meet up later, but it’s rather refreshing to be around kids and not having to constantly be asking them if they need to “go potty.”

And Mary has gotten into scrapbooking! She finished putting together a whole pre-cut album kit, and is now working on pages of her own design in a new 12×12 book. It’s really a lot of fun to see her sens...

Marines in France

It is SO VERY TEMPTING to steal this wholesale, but I won’t.

President Bush has authorized the Joint Chiefs to begin drawing up a battle plan to pull France’s chestnuts out of the fire again. Facing an apparent overwhelming force of up to 400 angry teenagers, Mr. Bush apparently doubts France’s ability to hold off them off. “If the last two world wars are any indication, I would expect France to surrender to the little pissants any day now,” said Bush.


That’s not the best part, so go read the whole thing.

I didn’t bother to watch the video, but… it just seems to me that this particular story falls into the category of “news that isn’t.”

I just spent a couple of hours sorting, throwing out, and putting away toys in the living room, including moving some things that are Kayla’s into her room. I was just about done, taking the last load of things into Kayla’s room and sorting them into their appropriate spots, when I saw it. She has already drawn on her wall, in pen. A face, and two hands. About a foot high, about three feet wide, right above the heater. Not even the scrapbooker in me wants to grab for the camera, so please don’t ask me for a picture. I am heartsick.
Weight Gain - Pregnancy

This appears to be the pregnancy where I can eat anything without gaining any weight. I started the pregnancy out at about 252 (I’m 6’1"). My goal weight when not pregnant is 220. Between the first trimester nausea, and the problems with my teeth making it hard to find things to eat, I dropped to about 240. I hovered around there for MONTHS. Then I had my wisdom teeth pulled, and at my next weekly weigh-in I was at 241. The week after that (last week), it was 246. I thought, “Finally! I’m gaining weight!” At six months, not gaining any weight was starting to concern me a little.

At this week’s weigh-in, I was right back to 241. What the hell? I’ve eaten a lot more in the last two weeks than I have during the rest of this pregnancy; why is the needle not moving? Now, don’t get me wrong, 241 is no lightweight, but I’m in the third trimester! I should be gaining weight at a rate of about a...

I am almost orgasmically pleased to report that, with the exception of the curtains, Care-a-Lot is FINISHED! Kayla has slept in there two nights in a row now, with no incident. She and the boys love playing in there, and I’m pretty pleased with how it turned out. Here are some pictures of what it looked like with no furniture in it. I’ll probably take and post more once the curtains are up. The carpet is a deep wine color, that Kayla picked out herself. She wanted pink, but they didn’t have that, so instead she chose this. She calls it “red.”

This project, along with the current Mall Crawl and other stuff, has kept me busier than a one-legged man in an ass-kicking contest. My teeth are feeling a lot better, and I’m able to eat almost anything I want (though I still avoid my beloved pretzels). Thomas has a runny nose and has been generally fussy and clingy. I hope it...
