so some asshat put up photos of boots for sale in my gallery, which had like 3k hits each pair (think they checked out all my awesome baby pix while they were there? i doubt it…) anyhow so it used up all my bandwidth and locked me out of my own dang site until like Oct 8th. They have it temp on for me to make fixes, and i’m actually going to try to move everything to one of the free hosting sites instead of paying for hosting anymore. more about that later b/c i wanna get this posted and take a nap
lucas said a 4 word sentence today, “boy (as in his Little People boy) under Lucas bed”
he also had his first cooking lesson today in helping me make belgian waffles (from a box of course). he broke the egg on the counter for me and then poured it from the shell into the bowl. then he poured the milk from the measuring cup into the bowl and used a whisk to stir it all together. then he helped me pour the batter from the mixing bowl into the special waffle iron scoop (a premeasured cup to put in just the right amount of batter into the iron). after they cooked, he helped me eat them!
Month: September 2011
Paul was driving home from work an alternate route thru Jasper he hasn’t driven before and we are chatting on the phone. He said he thinks there is an unmarked police car driving behind him and he doesn’t know what the speed limit on this highway is. i suggest he just drives 55, gets in the right lane, and lets the cop pass him. he said he tried to let the cop pass him, but the cop changed lanes and stayed behind him. i asked if he wanted to get off the phone and he said no, but then a minute later he said “i’m getting pulled over.” so i hang up and wait for him to call back. he calls back like 2 minutes later. “that was fast,” i say, and he replies “it was frank.” lol. i just gotta quote an old 90s song, “how bizarre, how bizarre.” apparently frank saw him and thought he recognized him so he followed him while he ran his plates, and when he saw it was paul for sure, he pulled him over to say hi.
There are five people total sitting in the doc waiting room with me. 1. Is texting on her phone. 2 is playing a game on his phone. 3 is playing a nintendo DS. 4 is reading a kindle. And now I’m blogging. Gotta love the digital age
ive decided that as of last night im feeling little movements
this is a repost from my sister from 2 weeks ago, it is soo funny:
After seeing these guys on reddit last week (http://airswimmers.com/) I bought one for my boyfriend’s birthday party on Friday.
they are so f***ing amazing
After playing with it for only about 10 minutes I have the bright idea of “hey, let’s bring it outside!” because yeah, it has a weight to keep it from going too high. Next thing I know I’m watching the shark fly off into the wild blue yonder as we run to the car to chase it across nearly the entire city of Malden. We repeatedly catch up to it, try and get in range with the remote, just to have a gust of wind pull it away from us again. After about half an hour of the most intense shark chase of my life, we watched our baby make its way east toward the ocean.
Anyway, just wanted you guys to know if you happened to look up and have a shark sighting over the weekend. Also, if you buy one, tether that shit if you want to take it outdoors.
How your baby’s growing:
Your baby’s skeleton is changing from soft cartilage to bone, and the umbilical cord is growing stronger and thicker. Your baby weighs 5 ounces now, and she’s around 5 inches long from head to bottom. She can move her joints, and her sweat glands are starting to develop.

ohh sweat glands. fascinating. so i had my ultrasound on saturday at the peekabelly 3D place and it is a GIRL!! im insanely excited about that. i wanted a boy first and then two girls, and so far that is exactly what i got! (rethinking the third child now, tho). paul, lucas, mom, lauren, steph, and ross all came with my to the U/S to find out with me, it was really fun! im glad lauren talked me into doing it, it makes it more special to have everyone there. heartbeat is still at 155, and in two more weeks i’ll be going to the doc for another ultrasound and a full anatomy scan. *fingers crossed* that she doesn’t grow boy parts in the next two weeks, altho we all saw the triple lines so i dont think that will happen. i’ve found some gorgeous nurseries online. here is an example of one: glenna jean

in other news, aunt nephie (as lucas calls her) and ross have just left to go back to Boston *sad face*. now i dont know what to do with myself, b/c ive gone from months of constant busyness and deadlines to having plenty of free time. girl scouts will be starting in two weeks, so that is a project to look forward to. other random updates: i got my tank cleaned up and filled last week. lucas says “uh oh ‘gator” combining “uh oh spaghettio” with “later alligator”. we went swimming in the pool a couple of times this past week and lucas LOVED it! on fri the 2nd, he actually started swimming! he figured out how to kick his legs behind him to propel himself fwd and go places. that was after only 4 pool trips total. he can also climb in and out the side of the pool on his own, and loves to jump from the side of the pool down to us. we also tried out both gymboree with lauren, jake, and ryan as well as a gymnastics class these past two weeks. i want to sign us up for both, but it will depend on money and my ability to handle him.
