I Broke Down Finally..

Pregnancy: Week 16 (feels like forever already)

December 25, 2008

 
My baby is now over four inches long ( see the avocado) and weighs a little over 2.5 ounces.

Merry Christmas!

When I was a kid I never got presents like this. Is it just me or are kids more spoiled today? Kai got everything she wanted besides the Dora computer game. This year for me was more about giving to others. Although I did get myself quite a few nice gifts. It’s [...]

Merry Christmas To All..

December 25, 2008

And to all a good night.

My house is now still. Dinner was great, I only heard Del complain once about the $40 ham for the both of us. It was worth every penny and those omelets will be just as good. Then there’s me in my pregnancy fog, running up to the store [...]
