Final Countdown

We had another great morning. After an early wake up around 5:45, someone cried for about 30 minutes off and on, then fell back asleep until I went in and woke her up at 8:00. And I actually had to wake her up. I went in, turned off the humidifier and she was still asleep. I actually had to say her name to get her to wake up. It was great!!!

Still fixated on saving money, which is just fine by us. If only we had some money for her to save. Putting the same 20 coins in over and over again might do it for her, but it isn't going to grow the account any.

Here is an up close and personal shot. The Gremlin took the camera from me mid-photo. If she's happy, I'm happy. :)




Also, I had a doctor's appointment today. I actually have one with some doctor or another almost every other day any more. We are progressing along just fine. I am already 1 centimeter dilated, so I doubt we will make it to March 17. Last time it took a whole bunch of pitocin to get to this point. We are packing my bag this weekend, just to be safe. I am 35 weeks and 5 days, and he is measuring 36 weeks and 4 days, so... Hope the Gremlin is ready to be a big sister!

Hi Ho Hi Ho, It's Off to Work I Go

Had to head into the office today. Everyone went along with the show this morning and we didn't have too many glitches. Other than the fact that someone likes to eat the Play-Dough. I gave her one warning and told her it was going away if she ate it again, so of course she ate it again. I know she knows what I am saying and is just testing me to see if I will do what I threaten. I tell you, it is hard to be firm and consistent. Especially when she looks up at me with a single tear in her eye and points at the Play-Dough and says "Doe...more...peez!" And as for the first day at the nanny yesterday... 2.0 was PERFECT. He stayed on schedule, went down for his naps with no issues, didn't cry or fuss and ate just a little less than each bottle I sent over. When I picked them up the nanny said, "he's nothing like the Gremlin was back then." No, he isn't, THANK GOD!!! And of course big sister LOVED having him there with her all day long. As for me, I ...

Signs, Signs, Everywhere There's Signs

I believe 100% that the universe (or God or Allah or whatever you think helps us be part of more than ourselves) sends us signs. They can be very subtle, more like a light wind than a burning bush. Or they can be so overt we feel foolish for not heeding them. Lately, I've had the fire department on speed dial with all the burning bushes in my life. In the past three weeks, I've gotten multiple signs about multiple items in my life. There was the nightmare about an inoperable brain tumor that made it clear I need to talk to someone about a problem I was having with them. There was the conversation with my sister about husky rescues and rain that resulted in rain for the first time in weeks and a potential adoption opportunity (no, we did not get another husky, much to my dismay). There was the person who walked past my house five days in a row with a literal sign on  before I realized I hadn't gone outside in five days. And now, another one just happened and I can't igno...

Wouldn't Trade It for the World

I wish I had a way of recording life as it was happening. I wanted to preserve the memory of what happened that badly, so I am writing it here to remember forever... I'll give you a little back story first. The Gremlin woke up around 5:15 or so and cried out for a few minutes. It was an odd cry. It was not her "I'm hungry" cry or a simple "I woke up and didn't want to" cry. This was more of a "I am scared, help me" sound. But she fell back asleep, so I figured it was just a bad dream and now it was done. 2.0 woke up at 6:15, so I went in to feed him. And when I got to his door, the Gremlin started crying out again. And didn't stop. My husband has to leave for work at 6:45, so there was no way he was going to be able to help out. I was on my own. So after I finished feeding 2.0, I went into the Gremlin's room. This is when I wanted the filming to start. I walked in and saw something that just broke my heart. The Gremlin was sittin...
