Lowell woke up with a fever. I don’t know how high. I didn’t take his temperature. I know I’m a bad mom, right? I should know exactly how high his fever was… but he was hot. We skipped church but David still had to go operate camera 2, so it was like… I dunno… Monday [...]
** BUMP ** updated some MORE stuff…
I just noticed, yes, noticed as in I have not been keeping track of how far along we are, that we’ve only got 7 5 3 weeks to go until our due date. In attempt to ward off any “What do you need?” questions, I have put [...]
I noticed this morning that the sunshine promotes kicking. :-) There’s definitely some dance lessons or soccer practicing going on in there this morning. (The stripes are from the miniblinds)
Not a lot of pictures taken today. I guess I’m running out of steam… or could it be that today was so much like all the others that the pictures would have been repeats? David left before 6:30 and the boys were up at 6:20 AM bright-eyed, bushy-tailed, and coughing up a storm. Both of [...]
Yep, another Davidless day here. I figure he’ll be working for about 17 hours straight today and he has to leave tomorrow morning around 6:30 AM to work another 9 hours. Yes, on a Saturday. The boys are going into daddy-withdrawal and I haven’t had a decent conversation with my own husband since Sunday. It’s [...]
This morning, since the “house” is pretty clean (main living areas, at least) I treated myself to some crocheting time. I decided to stick to 4 colors and repeat the pattern of yellow, white, purple, and red… James is calling this one “Lowell’s blanket” whereas the blue circley one is “James blanket.”
David is noticeably absent from the pictures because he’s pretty absent from this house lately. He’s working A LOT and yesterday when he got home, he took the boys to a playground for an hour. I’ll work on getting pictures of him in our daily lives. Promise. I don’t smile very much. I knew this, [...]
(I added onto this tonight, so if you caught it earlier on Wednesday, scroll down)
I am a little birdie building me a nest… I woke up early so as to beat James up and get a shower in. The boys being awake is like some kind of demented fairy godmother transforms me into a [...]
Regardless of who any of us wanted to win, either way…
Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. Consequently, he who rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those [...]
I did. I lasted a good long while. I lost it at bedtime, though. at 10:15 and they were still not in bed — lost it. Absolutely went crazy and I feel horrible. (edit to add we didn’t get home from Small Group until 9:30, so it’s not like I just let them run wild [...]
Please excuse the in-the-back-of-the-minivan picture.
I just finished the third sweater for a friend’s oldest boy. The twins’ sweaters were done lickety-split (size 6-12 month) but the one for the 5 year old… well, that took longer. I used a man-sized pattern and shrunk it using some examples [...]
No internal because the baby’s head is “still jiggly” and not engaged so we’re not worried about dilation, yet. Plus, I have only had a handful of contractions since Tuesday morning. At my 36.5 week checkup, I get the strep swab so that will mean in internal check, too. The baby is LOP and [...]
