Dish Soap Anyone?

I cant wait to have this baby. I am tired, achy, worn out, have a sore butt and just done hauling another person around. I know after I have this baby that I will have other aches and pains, the joys of recovery! But I am ready to trade what I have for what I know will come. I would also rather get up a few times in the night to feed the baby then get up 7 times to pee a whole tablespoon....what a wast of time! Right?!

This is all the stuff I went through with the boys....and this one. But this one has been made extra fun with something they call Pica. I have non-food cravings. It is said that an Iron deficiency is the cause......and I have always known that I was low on iron.....but this it getting silly.

Check this out.

Really - read some of the "Community Answers" at the bottom of the page, then come back and read about my cravings.

I think that dishwasher soap smells SOOO good! I would sniff it more, but the dust kinda stings my nose (not really, but I know it would if I tried). I love the smell of the green VitaBath. I also want to lick weired things....like foam. I have found that brushing my tong with a LOT of toothpaste (and the right toothbrush) helps that craving go away. I do not crave ice like a lot of others. Hayley - do you?

And to top it off - Tonight while watching Dirty Jobs, they were painting the inside and out of some kind of big container with really strong paint -I thought, "I bet that smells SO GOOD!" I wish I could have been there to smell it.

Projects!

We are running out of things to do here in Sierra Vista.....since last year. Today there was no school - so we did a few V-day projects. This web site has been nice...ideas that I change a little.

First - Hats with bouncy hearts. And then some hand-painted heart cards. It only killed an hour but we will get some of the pictures printed and put some cards together later, so that will take a little more time. Then we will have to walk all the way across the street to mail them - and that will take another few minutes.

I feel like all we are doing is waiting. For the kids to grow up - and for me to have this baby! Its so boring sometimes.

I like no naps.....

Neither of the boys took naps today - I know a lot of moms would go crazy - but I almost like it. When they don't nap - they go to bed at like 7:30 (insted of 9!). We eat, tub, brush teeth, then go for a walk - and they are out! Braxton woke up when we got home, but fell back to sleep on the couch after telling us he was ready to watch a show. Now we can watch Fringe and Scrubs in peace!

2 Weeks To Go!

Well - 2 weeks from yesterday. I think it is time to vote. When do you think I will have this baby?! The Dr. will (he said) not let me go PAST my due date - Feb. 9th - so don't be dumb and vote for something past that, or you wasted your vote. Who ever gets the closest (date AND time) will get something in the mail.....if I have your address. So good luck!

Just a funny picture - of my belly reflection on my Kitchen Aid bowl.

Cream Puffs!

My sister-in-law Jessica got me a FAT cook book for Christmas.

Since I have Annie here at my house to help me eat all our food, we have been testing out some stuff from this MASSIVE book.

First we tried the Berry Turnovers....yumm! Didn't LOOK good enough that I took a picture - but they were good.

Then we tried the Cream Puffs (Pate A Choux with Vanilla Pastry Cream). They were way good! The filling wasn't as thick as I would have liked....but that made it fun to watch Braxton try and eat one with out getting it ALL OVER.

I know - you wish you lived here too.

This was at the #2 restaurant in all of Sierra Vista - Texas Roadhouse. We got one and thought we would share.

I am bummed that the date had already passed.....so we didn't find out till it was over, thus, we have missed our chance to be the best martial artists in the UNIVERSE!!!

37 Weeks! (tomorrow)

Merrill and Annie and Braxton

Here is a current picture - in Merrill's Dr. Pepper pants - the only ones that are not too tight. I can still sport my GAP jeans that I have had since Braxton - but who wants to put on real clothes on a Sunday after church?!
