Oh girls! all around!

Candes, I actually love that Free Credit Report commercial. I think it's hilarious!

Penny, you are one ambitious girl! Half the reason I wanted to throw Rebecca a circus themed party last year was so that I could get away with serving hot dogs and popcorn. So, no, I don't exactly get quite as excited as you about the food.

Cyndi, I hope your kids give you some rest. And on the promotion. Always exciting news.

Mel, yikes! What a night! I can't believe your m/s is still that bad. How miserable! Does the Unisom/b6 help at all? Are you on any medication for it?

Sara, on your mobile baby! In a way it gets easier when they are mobile because they can entertain themselves better. sounds great! We're thinking about taking a trip there soon too.

Frenchie, Rebecca whispers very loudly too. As a matter of fact, she says outloud, "whisper, whisper" as if the words alone will make her quiet.

Mo, you and Amy seem to be stuck in a downpour of bad news lately. I am so sorry. I am thinking of you guys!

Jaime, how are you doing? How many days are you thinking of working from home next year? Have you talked about it with your boss or are you planning on researching it and just presenting him with a proposal? How's B's speech coming along? Any improvements?

All is well over here. Just dealing with a little one, who is seriously in the middle of her Terrible Two's and a baby. Oooh, and knitting a sweater for Rebecca. I'm making it for a 4 year old so that I actually have time to get it done.

Amy, I couldn't find your ice bowl pics...I am totally not myspace savvy though. It's because I am old, I'm sure. I did watch Jack singing Beyonce though! Loved it!

Tania, sounds like you had a great NYE. I can't even imagine a time where I might actually go out again. It seems so far off.

I started singing that Beyonce song to Lily as a newborn on the way to the dr's when she was screaming in the back seat with Jack and I was driving. It shut her right up, so I kept doing it. After a while, Jack started singing it himself whenever Lily cried, and just for fun, too. I'm glad I got it on tape for him to see when he's older.


I ttok the ice bowl slideshow down and replaced it with one of candids from today! Under the pic of me and the kids in the upper left of my myspace page is a link that says "pics". The ice bowl pics are there!

So a lot of us had crazy nights last night, eh?? Oh my, is this mom stuff fun.

Amy, I have been saying a lot of prayers for your mom tonight. I know you will be busy tomorrow but I hope you can update by Thursday how everything goes.

Sara, I can't believe your little guy is crawling already!! I am predicting 10 months for Bryce, as Hayden crawled at 9 months and he seems to be doing things, except getting teeth, about a month after she did. WHo knows--he could surprise me! He gets into enough trouble rolling!!

E loves to roll and do the back crawl which lead to his bald spot on the back of his head..LOL. Now though he gets on all fours, crawls 2-4 steps and then sits up. He sort of just moves from sitting spot to sitting spot. He is going to be a pill though. He already comes to the sofa and pulls on my leg and pulls himself up to his knees and cries for me...fun.

Our nights are so messed up also. He wakes up at 12 like an alarm. and then 2-3 times between 12 and 7:30. Sometimes we sleep in till 9...those days are rare.

Crappy night. Everyone is sick at home now. I came home to find Alex really down, running a fever. She didn't eat the whole day. I was finally able to get her fever down, and she had some toast and Gatorade. My mom says all she did was sleep all day. She could barely keep her eyes open. Then at night she kept waking up. I had to keep giving her motrin. I slept in a separate bed from her and Carlos so that I could try to not get sick, plus that way I could keep an eye on Nick. That didn't last long. She spent the night going back and forth between me and Carlos. Of course, Nick started coughing last night, which meant I had to go in there several times, and now he's running a fever too. Man, this sucks. I hope I don't get it too, because I don't know who will take care of everyone?

Amy- I'm praying for you guys!

Andy- PM for you! I have some questions about signing.

Hi ladies....


Amy..... I've been thinking about you a lot and everything you have going on. I hope you get some blessings sent your way soon.

Oh, and another to everyone who is lacking sleep and dealing with sickness. Hang in there!

I'm doing well. I'm entering the third trimester and I feel it. I've got the usual pg aches and pain...sore pelvic bone/hips, heartburn...you know all the fun stuff. In general I feel decent though. I'd post a belly pic but I haven't even taken on! Isn't that awful?? I do feel kinda guilty about that.


Andy, I'm thinking of working from home 2 days a week after my maternity leave. I'm just so unsure of how to really make it work. I'd love for someone to come to my house for a few hours those two days and watch the kids while I'm there. Braiden's speech is getting much better! I'm hearing more and more complete sentences and he seems to be much more understandable. Hopefully he'll just keep improving.

We're going to Florida in a few weeks- I can't wait. We're going to stay a night at Disney and the rest of the vacation at my grandparents house. Mo, any advice on where to stay in the "moderate category"? Or if you think one of the deluxe places are worth the money, I'm all ears. We're thinking about going to the Animal Kingdom this time.

jamie I am staying at the animal kingdom this time because the moderates were all booked. You should book early because all the moderates were booked like 3 months before. The animal booked up around 2 months before our trip date.

I stayed at the cariabean and it was ok. The orleans ones looked nice. never stayed there though.
