Funny how things work out...

I was going to post on Sunday morning. But I was in a mood - and figured I should post something happy. Post went into garbage and on the list of things to do Sunday night.

Only Sunday night found me in labor...and giving birth to Lucas William. Enjoy the pictures. Birth story to follow :)

Yes, I'm still pregnant

I had a friend today look at me and say "Weren't you due on the 6th of June?". Am I that big? :) Seriously, we just found out that I'm having a c-section on the 30th. The Boy will be coming sooner rather than later!!!

Hope all that might still be reading this are well. I'll post pictures as soon as he comes!

Two weeks

It used to be that the words "two weeks" meant that I was waiting to find out if I was pregnant. Now it means that I have to wait two weeks to find out if I'm going to have to have a c-section. Boy do things change.

The Boy has decided 1) he likes to be a pain and not go head down and 2) his head is NOT moving my placenta, causing concern among my doctors that I may bleed a bit much during the delivery. I have two weeks to convince him (PLEASE) and my placenta (how do you plead with a placenta??) to move. FAST.

I know it's not the end of the world. I'm okay with whatever happens. It's just not my first choice.

Other than that, I'm done. Graduated. But waiting to take my boards. Losing my memory. Oh yeah - and not sleeping well :)

DONE!!

I'm finally done with school, having had my graduation last night. I've been busy - but plan on doing more around the house to catch up a bit!


Carley is on the new cushion for the Boy's room.

It's the Amy Butler pattern - MUCH easier than it looks :)

Here's me at graduation - can you see my belly ? :)

Happy Mother's Day

Because this reminds me of why I celebrate Mother's Day...no matter how it came to me.

Annoyed

I love my husband, don't get me wrong. He has lots of wonderful qualities that make him a huge catch. He's a great father, funny, caring - will clean toilets and dishes (not at the same time, thank G-d!).

But I've been absolutely ANNOYED with him lately.

Why wash all but two dishes? Why leave those same two dishes sitting there for a WEEK without washing them - but wash everything else around them? Do you not see them?

Why throw the girls' bathroom rug in with our clothes? Why would you put fuzzies all over everything?

Why say you're going to take care of cleaning the garage - but only pick up four things? Did you not think that all the other things sitting there needed to be put away too? And then you give ME a dirty look when I suggest that we finish it???

I'm not perfect, but boy do I get perfectly annoyed at this. Ugh.

Can I sell them on EBay????

I love to read the paper in the morning. Sit down, eat breakfast and try to ignore my children while I focus on something other than "She's touching me" or "If I wanted to spell 'excellent sentence' - how would I spell that?".

This morning was no different (except that Steve was also trying to do the same thing - he's just not as good at ignoring them). An article I read made me stop and actually have a conversation.

According to the National Institutes of Health, scientists now can use fertility clinic left-over embryos for stem cell research. I have left over embryos. I read this to Steve and he said (with that twinkle in his eye) "Now can we sell them on EBay?".

We actually had a discussion about the difference between me selling my eggs as an egg donor (which I have not done - but others do) and me selling our embryos for research.

Thoughts??? Would you donate your left overs? Sell them?? Put them on EBay? (Would EBay totally take that down??) :)
