Say hi to Parker, our new pride and joy

June 14th, 2007

Please say hello to our new addition, Parker, who made his entrance via an induction (which I don't recommend, more on this later) on Monday, June 11 at 2:29 PM.

No, you don't need to adjust your glasses or your computer screen. YUP! He weighed in at a whopping 10 pounds and 2.8 ounces! AND HE WENT DOWN THE CHUTE, au naturel as in no Epidural!! NO! I'm not bragging, just insane and glutton for punishment!

While we’re away…

To my helper, my sister,

If "piglet" decides to come out this week during the night, here's the schedule for our 3 rugrats. You should get up around 7ish to get ready for the day.

-Pour milk into a coffee cup 1/2 way and heat up for 25 seconds, then transfer into the blue cup for Trent and green cup for Tyler.

-Wake Tyler up at 7:30, if the weather is hot...shorts (middle right drawer) and short-sleeved shirt (in closet), socks and sneakers. If rainy and around 60 degrees...long pants (bottom left drawer) and long-sleeved shirt (also in closet), socks and sneakers.

Still waddling

Every morning my hubbie would ask "anything yet?", meaning did I break my water in the middle of the night, drive to the hospital, had the baby, came home and didn't wake him up? The answer would be "uh, see this bulging belly? Nope, nothing yet!"

Piglet is saying "I'm not coming out yet, it's too cozy in here, a room to myself. Nobody to fight with...yet!"

Counting down…

May 20th, 2007

I had my 36th week check up on Friday and comes to find out, this little "piglet" is already inching his way down the "chute", and I'm at 1 cm dilated. Now, going from 1 cm to fully dilated at 10 cm is anybody's guess as to when it will happen.  

This is the first time in four pregnancies that my OB actually said to "take it easy!"  I supposed it's still a bit too soon since my due date is not for another three weeks.

Are you smarter than a 5th Grader

May 7th, 2007

Yes, there is such a show on Fox every Thursday, but I have yet to watch it in fear of confirming the scary truth that I might not be smarter than your 5th Grader.

Why did I say that? Well, every since I became pregnant with this 4th child, my brain cells (whatever small amount that I possess in the first place) were the first to go on hiatus along with my waistline. I can't even do simple calculations. Oh my gosh, I can see my Dad saying to my Mom right about now that "four years of a good college education down the drain!"
