(I think I'm going to start a new segment in my blogs titled "I know I'm pregnant when..." tonight is my first installment.)


I know I'm pregnant when...
Mark is leaving for work and through a tearful goodbye he sees I'm not feeling well and sweetly suggests I call a friend and invite someone over.
My (pregnant) response to this: "I have no friends."
Poor, poor, pregnant -and friendless- me.

Today I am so thankful for...

1. an impromptu neighborhood gathering outside of our house which was a direct answer to Marks prayer. Ben played with a little 2 1/2 year old for over a half an hour and I got to know some of the really neat people who live all around us. I LOVE this neighborhood!
2. the so sweet card my mom sent us, covered in stickers of course.
3. Mark's Mighty Prayers.
4. Mochi, ice cream balls.
5. the water rock in Tiny's cage so he can help himself to water now.
6. baked potatoes and ranch dressing.
7. Ben having such a fun dad, who does all this crazy stuff with him that I never would. (Lifts and throws and swinging stunts just aren't my thing.)
8. Having one of our neighbors tell me that the people who lived here for many, many year left a wonderful legacy and heritage here. What a nice thought.
9. talking with Heather for a bit today.
10. spending time with Ali and serving with her.

Always your friend, though I can't quite help in the keeping you company in person thing. :0) I have a question too...what kind of an animal is Tiny?

Crafty Me

I'm pretty excited because I'm not crafty, at all, but when I saw this idea on my new favorite crafty blog I got all giddy because I thought, "I can do that!" and so I did. And since my kids ARE crafty, go figure, I had all the stuff to make them on hand - yippee! All I had to do was buy the goodies that make the wings, which only cost me a dollar (thank you Dollar Tree!). I put them in the kid's little Easter buckets. I hope they like them as much I do. :-)

In a Nut Shell...

Saturday afternoon, 2pm, got home from Costco and thought I might be going into labor. Troy woke up from his nap at 3:30, sensed what was going on and was not too happy about it at all. Thinking it was pretty early, but not want wanting to take any chances, we left for the hospital a bit before 4 o'clock Yep, too early. Walked the halls for an hour which produced more of these... Which felt like this... And at 8:42pm they led to this... We are so thrilled to add a precious baby girl to our family We love you Mia Joy! (7lbs 2oz, 18.5" long)

I know that people come from good places and the intentions behind their comments are never bad, and sometimes they're actually funny, but sometimes I just want to say, um, really? Is that the BEST thing you can think of to say? Here are some of my faves from last week... "I'm going to un-friend you on facebook because you do not look like you just had a baby a week ago." - sorry? "What's her name? ... Oh I know SO MANY Mia's. Like, SO many." - great. "Are you guys finished yet? Is there some literature out there I can get for you (to teach you about prevention)?" (This one is my favorite) - "I'm the oldest of three and I am SO glad my parent's didn't have a fourth." - um... okay. This is the one I hear from almost everyone, it's not necessarily a bad thing to say, I just get it A LOT, "Two boys and two girls? Oh, the perfect family." Does that mean before Mia we had an imperfect family? I also hear endle
