Monsters Are Eating My Brain

This morning, before breakfast, Lidia looks at me and says “Mommy, I want chocolate.”
Oh yes, there is no doubt that she is her mother’s daughter….

I have always had vivid (and often bizarre) dreams. Because of some recent repeating themes, I thought it would be interesting (for myself anyway) to start jotting them down. Some of them are at least worth a good laugh, if nothing else… They’ve gotten even stranger since I’ve been pregnant…

This past weekend we teamed up with the Tancks and headed Southwest to Yellowstone Lake State Park.

This is a really interesting optical illusion. You have to stare at the dot for 30 seconds, then without moving your eyes, put your mouse cursor over the picture. Once you see the “color” picture, move your eyes again.

Knock on wood, but I did not get heartburn last night or tonight!!! Maybe this evening sickness thing is over!

That’s right, 12 weeks pregnant tomorrow! In some ways it’s going very slow, in others, not so slow. I feel really large already, at least compared to my original size. The belly is definately sticking out past the boobs, so it feels really weird to be leading with belly. It totally changes the posture, I [...]

We had a great Memorial Weekend! Roberta and Vince came for a visit (without the kids this time) and we just had an all round nice time :)
On Saturday we found a babysitter (Thanks Jenny!) and all went out on a date! Adam and I haven’t really been out together since our Anniversary last [...]
