She's A Contender!

We had another appointment this week, which included an ultrasound, glucose screening and doctor visit. No news on the glucose screening, but the ultrasound went well. Chris asked for confirmation, yet again, that we were in fact having a girl?!! It was confirmed--for the 3rd time. Hopefully he is convinced and satisfied with those odds. Her heartbeat was strong-149 bpm. Everything else was positive too. She did have some huge lips. I am talking HUGE. Chris thinks I may have some explaining to do after the delivery. Maybe Angelina Jolie is really her mother? She could be a contender for a future heavyweight belt. She is in the 86th percentile for weight, weighing in at 1 lb. 14 oz. I am glad to hear that my weight gain is attributed to her, at least some (only 1 lb.?!!). Otherwise, everything is great. I feel good, she looks good and we are eagerly awaiting her arrival. Only 3 more months to go.
Our attic was finally gutted. All of it. Chris hauled the debris down 3 flights of stairs all by himself. It was quite a mess, but he did it. I am pretty pleased of his efforts. I think he is too. Now we wait for our crew to come in mid-May to put our new area together. Hopefully it happens before our baby arrives.

Maybe the baby has your lips and Chris's lips combined? You can thank genetics. Haha.

Happy Halloween!

The Halloween festivities are in full swing here. We attended a "Fall Festival" at my school on Thursday evening and today we enjoyed a "fall festival" at the girls' school. We've managed to keep their costumes a secret until Wednesday when Claire spilled the beans. She was doing so well at keeping the secret, I almost thought she wasn't our child for awhile ;) Claire dressed as "Pinkalicious" and Mya was a cupcake. My Mom and Dad bought Claire the book, "Pinkalicious" for her first birthday. It has been an on-going hit with our girls. They both have the entire book memorized. It is such a cute book where this girl named "Pinkalicious" loves pink. She eats too many pink cupcakes and turns pink, which she is thinks is simply beautiful then red, which is less than favorable. She eats her vegetables to turn alleviate her pain. In the meantime, her little brother is envious and devours the last one, then turns pink too. It is a ...

0.0

Yes, indeeedy do. 0.0 is exactly the amount of weight I lost this week. Irritating! Here's the breakdown: number of times I cheated on my diet--ZERO! number of times I worked out--FIVE!! (running, no less). Now that is a mean, mean slap in the face. After I picked myself off the floor and resisted the urge to throw the scale through my window, I've come to realize that it is time to call in the big guns. There will be no messing around. Through a very valuable (HA!--sense the sarcasm) inservice this year, I've learned that I am "Green," meaning logical, research based, problem solver, mathmatical thinker. I am applying the same thought and strategy to my 'get fit' adventure. There will be no relying on the treadmill to tell me how much I've burned. That thing lies, LIES, LIES!! Take for example, the fact that each time I worked out, I burned at least 300 calories--most often 350, my pulse was around 87 (which is pretty much a near death resting ...

A post

You wanted it, you asked for it, so here it is. A post. Hopefully this post will satisfy all your desires. I am not writing about the apple of my eye, Claire, but of the other apple of my eye--reality tv. I love it! Right now I am getting my fill of Big Brother. I have even lured Chris into my dark place. He mostly watched last season because Dick was such a jerk, but Chris is hooked. He's a dedicated viewer once again this season. Sadly, he was a fan of Matty who was kicked off a few weeks ago. I don't think I have a favorite. I find them all to be so obnoxious, yet I watch. Go figure. I obviously need some more excitement in my life. Girls who wear butt showing shorts, screaming matches, verbal abuse, crazy eyes, back stabbing, boys running around in their colored tighty whiteys (if tighty whiteys are colored, are they still called tighty whiteys?)---all in one episode! It is a gold mine. My second can't miss show is Housewives of Orange County or New York City. I really ...
