38 weeks pregnant

Here I am with two of my girly girls. The 3rd girly girl was the photographer.


My littlest girl is kind of possessive of me.

It's not fair

I just found out a girl I work with and who was due one day before me went and had her baby already.

Don't you know that hearing that someone had their baby at 36 weeks and I'm still looking like a whale at 38 weeks does nothing to help me?

Well, it's not like I really expect to have a baby early. I just hope for on time at this point. My history does not lend itself to early babies.

Lauren was born on her due date, not induced or anything. It does happen.

Ellie was born two days after her due date.

Shannon was born two days before her due date.

I guess I should give my self until 1/23 until I get antsy.

Daddy for President!!

Lauren looked at me and said "Do you think my daddy will be president one day?" She means president of the country. Any ideas what she's learning about in social studies right now?

Dinnertime conversation

Lauren said "We have indoor recess all week. It cold out"

Then she asked, "You have recess at you work"

I said, no and Ellie jumped in and said "That's cause Mommy doesn't have a playground"

I wish it was that easy.

Shannon needs help

Shannon likes to fall on the floor. She waits to see who is looking, sticks out her hand, and then yells "I need a little help please"

Family Poll

We took a poll tonight to see what Omega is. Here is the breakdown.

1 vote for girl (that would be Lauren)

1 vote for boy (that would be Ellie)

2 votes for undecided (that would be Kristin and Bob)

1 vote for a puppy (that would be Shannon and I can say with 100% certainty that she's wrong)

Shannon also likes to say that "we going to have a baby. Then, we going to buy a puppy" I have no idea where she came up with that but it is entirely UNTRUE. There will be no puppies in this house for a very long time.

Happy New Year!

We had an absolutely wonderful 2009 so I'm a little sad to see it go. However, I hope 2010 is an even better year. I can name two wonderful things that I know will be happening this year. We will complete our family this year and Bob and I will see the end of our first decade of marriage together. I never could have imagined how quickly 10 years would go by.

We attempted to stay up until midnight but it never happened. Shannon and I were the first to fall asleep at 9:00. Hey, I'm tired and crabby and very pregnant. What can I say! I woke up at 11:15 and Bob and the girls were passed out on the floor.

The night was not a complete loss. We had a lot of great food. We had sweet and sour meatballs with rice pilaf. Ellie wanted malts and we had some cake with them. The girls and I had apples on sticks and dipped them in carmel or as the girls like to call it "carnival". Fruit on sticks are always better than fruit not on sticks.
