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.

Sweetness Overload

So, we are still roughing it in our amazingly, wonderfully fabulous, new house. That means, air mattresses in our living room. Fun. The girls love it, Chris and I not so much ;) Anyway, the close proximity means Chris and I get to eavesdrop on some very tender moments. They seriously bring tears to my eyes. How did we get so lucky to have them as our children??? Here's one example. Claire--"Mya, can we snuggle?" Mya--"sure." Claire--"don't let go." Mya--"No, I'll just wait until you are sleeping." Claire--"No, you wait until the middle of the night." Mya--"Okay, I'll wait until the middle of the night." Then we hear lips smacking. So cute. I won't share the meltdown that occured moments before this sweetness ;) Life isn't always rosey, now is it? Ha! In other news..we get internet today and our furniture/things tomorrow! That means 1 more night of "roughing it!" Yippee!

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 ...

Progress

I used to be prompt about scrapbooking in Claire's album. After seeing my sister's pictures piled up three children later, I was determined not to have the same fate. I am sure it is difficult for some of you to believe, but since Claire has been born, my free time has been limited. Really, it has. So, our pictures are finding their way into piles too--5 to be exact. However, I am thrilled to say that I finished (ok, they aren't completely finished, but nearly. I only have journaling to do.) six pages. Yes, that's right, I said SIX!! It was a major accomplishment. Here they are for your viewing pleasure. Only 5 more months left to get through....any volunteers? Jessica???
