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...

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

MIA

No, my secret alias is not Mia. MIA = missing in action. I have been avoiding posting on here. Why? Because I don't have a ton of stuff to write about. Also, I've discovered that my blog is being followed by a couple of people I'm not related to. Although I'm super excited about it, I'm also a little intimidated! Sounds silly, I know. Hear me out. You know how you can be a teenager (I'm not a teenager, we're just being hypothetical) and have big thick coke bottle glasses, zits all over your face, big baggy pants and a baggy sweatshirt hiding the rolls hidden underneath and a perm that went very very wrong and is now only curly on ONE SIDE and your mom still tells you you're beautiful and she'd love to trade faces with you? You know how that feels? You don't have to question it too much, because she's your mom and you know she's probably a little biased. Blogging is a little like that. Until now, only my friends have read my blog. I coul

christmas time's a coming

Only 23 days until Christmas! Remember when we were kids, and Christmas was all about time off school, lots of treats (chocolate, candy canes, oranges, turtles!), new Christmas dresses for the church concert, lights, music, decorations, noisy and exciting gatherings at Grandma's house, Christmas episodes of our favorite tv shows and of course presents! The list goes on and on. I still find Christmas exciting. Yet, now the season holds more than just the "fun" stuff. Now we have to worry about scheduling in all the different families and parents, buying gifts we can't necessarily afford, making dishes to bring to the different gatherings, hoping that people will understand that we need to share the holidays with many others, and hoping that nobody will be hurt if our time with them is short. I wonder if I'm doing a good job of making the holidays fun and enjoyable for my kids, and if I've bought the right gifts. I worry about what five days in a row of late ni
