She’s here!!!
Pictures as soon as I upload them.
We headed to the hospital about 10 Wednesday night, she was born 11:45! She’s 8lb, 19 inches long, and is nursing like a champ. More story later. Thanks for all the prayers and well-wishes!!!Here we go again . . .
Contractions 10 minutes apart, consistently, and harder than before. I’ve lost my plug, so I’m pretty sure this is it this time!!! I’ll try to post again before we leave. I don’t have internet from my phone, but do have MSN Messenger. If you want, I can IM when we get closer. E-mail jemaster (at) […]
Review: Mr. Bean’s Holiday
I was provided Mr. Bean’s Holiday by Click Communications for the purpose of review.
I was first introduced to the character of Mr. Bean by my then 8- and 10-year-old nephews about 12 years ago. They were practically crying with laughter, and I wondered what kind of Ren and Stimpy nonsense they were watching. […]Mommy, I’m 4!!!
Pink Pixie found an old preschool workbook that she had used a couple of years ago and got Monkey Boy all hyped about it. Mostly he wants to scribble in it with markers — he is not remotely interested in actually learning letters. BUT he did ask if he could practice his letters in bed […]
New mommy ‘do
It was definitely time for a change. I haven’t had a haircut in a while, and it was falling into the Mommy Mullet by default — YIKES! So, I convinced Squid I needed some time out of the house after his two marathon work days. I was going for an inverted bob, but still had […]
Happy Belated Thanksgiving
Still no baby news. Officially, her due date isn’t until the 27th (yeah, I have the 30th on my sidebar. I was wrong and I’m too lazy to change it now). Since we didn’t know what was going to happen yesterday, we just planned a quiet day at home. Good thing, too, since Squid ended […]
Celebrating Brothers and Sisters with Cute as a Bug
Aren’t these cute?
5 Minutes for Mom is having a great holiday giveaway, these cute t-shirts are today’s giveaway. Go on over and check out the whole contest!!!I think we may be getting started . . .
 . . . or maybe not. Update Wednesday 2:00pm: Had another NST — NO contractions at all. Her heartrate is a little lower than usual, but still in the normal range. Starting to get ticked off. I am so ready to have this baby!
UPDATE 11:15 pm: They seem to have started up again, 5-10 […]Menu Plan Monday
Here we are again! I actually got all this planned out last Thursday, so we’ve been on the plan for a few days now. Here are my 10 menus for the two-week period between shopping days:
1. Spaghetti, salad, garlic bread
2. Grilled Cheese, tomato soup
3. Baked Ziti, salad, garlic bread (will try not to do too […]You can take the girl out of the homeschool . . .
. . . but you can’t take the homeschooler out of the girl. Yesterday Pink Pixie found out that one of her classmates doesn’t believe in God, but in Zeus. That surprised me a little, I didn’t know Zeus was the subject of modern worship, but you learn something new everyday, right? […]
Quesadillas for the taste-bud challenged
Most of my family loves Mexican food. None of us like it extra-hot, but we like some spice in our tacos. Pink Pixie, however, is a supertaster. She does not like anything with a strong flavor — not just spicy, but mint and other strong flavors as well. Oh, and she […]
Baby Update
For those who are interested . . .
Doctor’s appointment Friday morning, 1cm dilated, nothing new from last week. Nothing new happening, a few twinges and Braxton Hicks, and she’s having fun grinding her head around on my bones — and sciatic nerves somehow. Other than that things are about the same. Next appointment is the […]Meet the Robinsons!
I’m not a huge Disney fan. I feel that so many of their movies are just excuses for merchandising. However, Meet the Robinsons is a delightful exception. There was just not one thing about it I didn’t like. It had a great message without being preachy, tackled difficult issues — […]
Wanna Win Hannah Montana Tickets?
We’re not eligible because Squid works there, but if you live in the Detroit area, you can enter to win tickets to the hottest concert of the year! WDIV is holding the Hannah Montana Ultimate Giveaway. My girls are so disappointed they can’t make a video!
Menu Plan Monday
You know, I should write up these posts when I do my meal planning (every other Wednesday), and post-date them. Squid gets paid every other Thursday, so I try to get my menus together Wednesday, although often it’s Thursday morning. Anyway, here’s what we’ve got going for the next two weeks (I only do 8-10 […]
