<3

Apparently, the heart emoticon, <3, has been banned:

Hehe, funny article.  I’m not too bummed to hear that there are enough people out there annoyed by that emoticon to allow it to hit the list.  I’ve never really used it because to me it is a pretty big leap to say it looks like a heart.
That’s [...]

overdue – the blog, that is, not me.

OK, so, it’s been awhile.
23 weeks and 3 days… point of viability… sort of.  Not that it is any risk, as I’m not going into labor any time soon, (sitting pretty steady with ~1-2 contractions in a day – normal), but I’ve been hunting down birth stories for babies born at this stage just to see [...]

Santa 2008: The Visit

Oh yes, we rocked the Santa visit.  We rocked the Santa visit like baby wrangling, potty training, Santa happy pros.  “Farma” came with my husband and I and it was great to have her there.  Farma, in case you don’t know, is my husband’s mother and her name is, I think, an Americanized bastardization of [...]

What I’ve been doing in my spare time

I keep trying to remember how uncomfortable I was or was not with my singletons at 21 weeks.  I do not really remember.  So far I’m not uncomfortable with these two really.  I mean, I get really tired out quickly but I don’t have a few of the things I recall getting at some time [...]

Me too

I was sitting at the dining room table with Asher while he ‘wrote’ in this little journal book just before bedtime.  He looked at me and said “I’m glad you’re here with me.  I love you.”

The weekend edition

Just an update on the potty training over the weekend.  I’d say we’re doing pretty darn well, really.  It is harder with the house so busy, but Asher is certainly going for longer periods of time without peeing at all.  This really has the effect of driving me insane because I’m worried about the accidents [...]

If I don’t leave the house all day, do I still have to shower?

Potty training day two went MUCH better.
The first thing Asher did when he got up in the morning and we took his “night time diaper” off was to sit on his potty and say he made “wet”.  He got it!  From that point on he knew all about peeing in the toilet as well.  He [...]

Potty training, day 1

Yep, still pregnant, still gaining weight like, well, me.  Actually, now that I’m on vacation and working on potty training Asher, I don’t get to go to the gym in the mornings and I really have to work up the resolve to get out at night once they are in bed.  Blech, I don’t like [...]

Have I mentioned that I am always right?

My husband is redoing the tiles in our master bath.  (I call it a master bath because it is the bathroom closest to our bedroom and it has a door right into our room.  Really it is a ‘walk through’ as it also has a door to the hall, but I’m pretending, so go with [...]

Overvote, undervote, and wow – really?

Those of you in MN (and probably some of you NOT in MN) know about the recount for senate.  I’ve found this site:  http://minnesota.publicradio.org/collections/special/2008/campaign/results/mn/recount/ballots/
which you can go to and view all of the contested ballots.  It is, in a word, a riot.  I cannot decide which is funnier, the number of dumb people voting and [...]
