i'm having a baby

Yes, you read right! Steven and I are excitedly expecting our 3rd baby! The little bundle should be arriving sometime around August 28th. That puts me at 3 months now, only 6 to go! We'd have waited longer yet to tell (i don't tend to show super early) but some stuff has come up that's made it somewhat necessary to tell this news early.

The reactions of people are kind of neat. This baby and Tennyson will be 16 months apart. Some people don't care, and they're just so excited about yet another baby in the family. Other people think we're kind of nuts, although most are polite enough not to go on about it.

I'm happy. This is the first baby that I'll get to spend a year off with. I went back to University when Jordan was three months old, and it was a pretty demanding program. After I had Tennyson we had to finish painting and fixing up our house so we could sell it, and I went back to work in September when he was only 4 months old. You can imagine how happy I am that I can stay home this time! I love my babies.

I've never had a friend have a baby before! Do you think of names already at this stage of the game? Or do you wait to see "what it looks like"?

I think of names from the get go! That's the fun part. Not that we have any cemented or anything yet. I always think too, that when people wait to have the baby and it doesn't "look like" the name, that it's probably because they weren't really sold on the name in the first place.

She doesn't need to think of names, she's already set on LYLA...we've had this conversation before. I've heard Ann is a good middle name too...

today's to-do's

Things to do: dust. As if. It's been on my list for weeks, I mean, days. prepare income tax stuff. Too bad it's all scattered within different piles of papers throughout the house, garage, back lane, trunk of the neighbor's car. sort piles of paper (see previous). cook carrots and sweet potatoes. Puree into a delicious paste to be fed to the baby and sneaked into my family's dinner. make dinner (or "supper", if I don't want to sound all hoity toity ). Add "orange puree" and "white bean puree" to the pizza sauce. Wait to see if husband notices. daydream of the day when Steven's scurvy clears up. pick up the big kids from school (it lets out in 8 minutes. I should probably go now). okay, going . . . . . . okay, back. You'd be pleased to know that although school let out only 8 minutes after I posted that last bullet, I first went down and switched my wash into the dryer and started another load in the washer. I remember, once upo

dinnertime/breakfast time woes

Suppertime is such a performance sometimes. Why is it so hard to get kids to eat their supper? Last winter I started cooking all these fun meals out of these healthy living cookbooks. There was pasta, cheese, cooked spinach (I love spinach in foods), stir fries, fun burgers, etc. The kids would see a hint of green and spend the next twenty minutes moaning and choking it down. That's the older two. The younger two wouldn't even pretend to try. Eventually I kind of gave up and went back to the regular five dinners that I remake over and over and over and just made sure to serve them with salads and veggies. Jordan eats. Tennyson whines about not liking noodles, potatoes or vegetables but usually we can bully him into eating his dinner. Who doesn't like any side that goes with beef or chicken? Seriously? Not liking pasta? Or potatoes? Or rice unless it's floating in sweet and sour sauce? Good grief. I'm so glad that their pickiness is so individual to each child. Tha

two things: one to do with running, the other with my fastly-deteriorating fashion sense

I've started running again. I'm not sure if I ever "officially" stopped, but I only ran twice in August, totalling about nine miles, so I kind of felt like when I restarted in September that I was, well, restarting. This is probably not even blog-worthy. It would probably be better served disappearing into the chasm that is facebook, but I need blog topics, so here it is. I once had a friend (coughcoughangelacough) who said that she didn't run outside because she was afraid that just maybe, she ran "funny," and people would see her. Being an awesome friend, I insisted that surely she didn't. I lied. I have never even seen her run. I have just recently decided that she does run funny. Wanna know why? (as if spell check didn't underline 'wanna') Everyone runs funny. Quite seriously, everyone . I prefer to run outside, because the treadmill sucks my will to live, and a mile or two in I turn into a sighing, eye-rolling teenager, o
