Dream catcher

Last night after reading Michal his bedtime stories I just laid there with him for a few minutes. He can be very snuggly... especially at bedtime, he hates going to sleep by himself. Anyhow just as I was getting up he looks at me and asks what the thing hanging in his window was. I thought we told you... I'm sorry buddy. It's a dream catcher. It catches the bad dreams and let's the good dreams come through. So there won't be any bad dreams in here! Michal looks at me and says, "I like that! I really don't like bad dreams". Good, you have nothing to worry about then I say. Michal closes his eyes and looks as though he's falling asleep. All of the sudden his eyes pop open and he asks, "does Naomi have one in her window?" I tell him that she doesn't. "Well, we have to get her one, she needs one too Mom!" says Michal. Yes, she does and we'll do that for her... from you. I love these kids.

Cocoa butter

Thank the heavens for cocoa butter lotion. The moment I find out I'm pregnant I start my ritual of slathering on cocoa butter at least twice a day. So far it has been a blessing and I've been very fortunate to not get stretch marks. Anyhow we have experienced some very strange but welcomed warm weather. As Naomi and I are enjoying the weather I decided I was much too warm for pants and I needed to go dig up my shorts. I go upstairs and proceed to find a pair and get changed and I notice how white my legs are! One of the things about spring I don't love... White legs. Anyhow I figure if I put some lotion on it won't be as bad, well as good as we're gonna get. I used the cocoa butter since it was readily available. Oh my goodness! The rest of the day I kept feeling a soft and wet little tongue randomly licking me legs! Naomi loved the smell and apparently the taste to boot. I just love that little girl.

Baby #3

I've been waiting a while to post this one. I made up the post and wanted to save it until I went to my 14 wk doctors appointment and heard that little heart beat. I went in this am and heard that sweet little sound. I posted on Facebook last week which was living on the wild side. However, the blog is my keepsake and I wanted to be certain before making anything official... so let's hope that all continues to go well. Fingers crossed.

So, here we are... both the baby and myself are growing. I've found that with this pregnancy (#5) my tummy is getting big and FAST! That's fine, I don't tend to worry too much. Sure I have my moments where I panic and think I'm fat but then that little voice chimes in and reminds me that this is what is supposed to be happening. Right? Right.

Now the question all have been waiting for... are we going to find out the sex. NO.

I really want to experience that moment where after I go through treacherous labor pains and finally get this little babe out, the doctor holds the baby up and enthusiastically says, It's a ....!

Doesn't that sound nice?

I couldn't wait with either of my other two and found great reasons to justify finding out early. I'm fine with that and to be perfectly honest meeting them for the first time really is enough of a surprise. I just know with everything in me that this is our last child and I would like to get this one extra surprise with this one. Anyhow, Mike and I are passed disillusioning ourselves with putting the baby in it's own room. First, we never moved either of the others to their own room until they were one. Second, we don't have a room for this baby. So, which lucky kid will get to share? I guess that will be a surprise too!

Oh and yes I will be getting 20 weeks worth of shots in the ass again.

In case your were wondering. ;-)
