Finger paints

No, not the kind that you are thinking about. Little miss likes to call finger nail polish "finger paints". Makes sense. Here's her newest color.



We are trying to teach her how to hold her hands at an angle where other people can see them. We are getting there.

Slowly but surely, my girl who used to pinch worms and kiss fish is turning into a little diva.

She makes me laugh

things said by emmy tonight:

"nora, dos, tres, cuatro...."

"pink is yucky" (as in, pink nail polish...i have no idea"

"let's sing 'itsy bits minnie'"

"my pee pee really hard"....maybe she means, "i really need to go...like now!"?

"mama, my eat your dinner all gone" (then steals the bowl out of my hand and puts it on her tray"

Just a snippet of funnies that go on in our house every night.  So glad we have her as our entertainment, how boring life must have been before she came along.

31 Weeks

I hit 31 weeks yesterday!  That means we are into the single digit countdown period! Wahoo!!!!

31 weeks

• Weight gain? My 30 week appt had me up about 26-27 lbs at the dr.'s office.  Home scale seems to be measuring about the same.
• Stretch marks? None that I can see :)
• Belly button? Starting to stick out JUST a little at the tip top.
• Gender? a baby sis for Emmy! 
• Cravings? Anything but water.  Late night snacks.  For emmy to not wake up in the middle of the night to pee.......oh, I digress.  Back to cravings:  FOOD!  I have been so hungry the past week or two.  Wondering if Nora has gone on a growth spurt?
• Latest hormonal outburst? My hormonal outbursts have come in the form of cussing.  Not a good thing, I know.  But it's almost uncontrollable.
• Vomiting? . Early on I was nauseous (subsided around 14 weeks), but no vomit from me.  Although there were many times I wish I could have.
• Feeling prepared? Yes actually.  This bedrest thing has really increased my desire for these coming weeks to pass quickly.  I wouldn't normally wish time away like this, but things are just frustrating right now.
• Names? Nora Lee
• Random pregnancy side effects? Thinking I might be starting to waddle.  Also, my legs and arms are really itchy.  It's starting to move to the soles of my feet.  It doesn't quite look like the pictures of PUPP online, so I'll be interested to see what the Dr has to say at my next appt.
• Maternity Clothes? OH YES.
• Work? Yes, will work up to D-Day.
• Horrifying picture?  Nope, not at all. I'm still avoiding my whole body and face being in pictures!  yay me.

old mcfarmer

While I've been on my modified bed rest, little miss has adapted quite well.  I am spending many more hours wasting away on the laptop. Every evening for the past few nights, Emmy will grab her little Minnie Mouse laptop that plays songs and sit on the couch with me. One of the songs is "Old McDonald".

I love listening to her sing: "old mcfarmer had a cow...."
