6 more weeks to go!



It is hard to believe that we are finally at this point....6 more weeks of waiting! I feel like a blimp, but other than that, everything is great. I have lots of energy, sleep pretty well and feel good, despite the 90 degree temps. I have had some swelling. As a result I was unable to wear my wedding ring to school yesterday. It felt akward. Chris and I went on a shopping spree of sorts. We purchased a pack and play ($129.99), diapers ($21.99/90 diapers), wipes ($1.99), a baby bjorn, which we later returned as Lisa said we could use their's, pacifiers ($2.99), burp cloths ($9.99/10), and some baby socks. Chris put together the pack and play, which is pictured above. I hung up the curtains, which I purchased from Pottery Barn ($22.00/curtain). All in all, we are ready for Claire. We have a lady coming over for our private birth class this week. We will meet with her 3 times for 2 hour sessions. Hopefully it isn't too eye-opening.
The first picture is of a covered bridge in New Hampshire. Chris, Harvest and I went to New Hampshire last weekend to see what there was to see. I had never seen a covered bridge, so I had to take a picture. Phil may be the only one interested in that--perhaps we'll include those on the tour this summer!! Fun for all!

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 ...
