On the Blessed Masses:
I know of, let's see, A LOT!!! of pregnant ladies and in the last week four more wee ones have been announced! Just today I have heard of TWO-and one is my TWIN, so....I am wondering now if I might need to head to the store for a pregnancy test!!! Many hearty congratulations to all! I am wondering what is in the water...and where can I get some? ;-)
On the Complexities of Dinner:
This is Matt's final week of work and the boss and his wife has asked us to dinner. That sounds grand-but it's not. I don't know WHY they want to meet or WHAT we are supposed to talk about, since it all very awkward a situation. I invited them to dinner HERE but they INSISTED we go there. Their home is full of beautiful antiques and now that Andrew is crawling, I thought it would ease some of my looming tension. But they refused, rather bluntly, so instead a friend from church is coming over for an hour or two. I can only hope for the best, but in all honesty, I will be glad when this dinner is OVER.
On Baby woes:
Remember when Andrew was so sick? It didn't take long for all the pieces to come together. The very next night, he cried all through the night-so much that he slept in my arms all night on the pullout in the basement. The next morning-two bottom teeth had broken through his gums. For every breastfeeding mama-this is NOT an exciting milestone and I am no exception. Ouch.
On Preoccupied Hands:
My fingers still nimbly twist and turn yarn on that crocheted sampler afghan but I am ready for a quick crochet project that can be completed with instant gratification. SO-I was online and spied this site that is home to tons and tons of free crochet patterns. I was looking for a pattern for a poncho for Corynn. Here is the one that I will probably try first-it CLAIMS to be 'easy'. We shall see. Here and here are a few more that I liked -including this one for Andrew! They will be great winter projects-my goal is to finish them by spring-so that they can USE them!
Well, those are the thoughts swirling around my head today! Happy Monday to all and to all a good night!

Sorry the poncho picture didn't come through. Oh how I remember those teeth. Bobby had six by six months!!! Ouch. Who is your twin? Enjoy your dinner. Maybe they want to give you a Christmas gift or just thank Matt. Who knows. I know you will keep a positive attitude until you find out for sure.
Seeing your tree is making me itch for one of my own. Well done!
Your boy is so cute. He needs a beard, though...
AND, quit teasing us. Let us know that you're pregnant already, woncha?!
Hi Rebecca!
Your little guy is such a cutie! I am praying for your dinner with the boss. I can feel your pain about not wanting to dine with active littles and expensive antiques all in the same location.
I like all of your holiday decor!!! Dinner does sound a little daunting...but at least you have the little ones that can be such a distraction for both parties involved.
I know someone else who is pregnant with the initials D.S...is this one of your fertile Myrtles???
Ouch. I remember teething nursers. Ah, they've since been through braces and now are the teeth of a 17 year old. Excuse me while I go though a box of kleenex. lol
I hope the dinner is not too horribly awkward. I'm sure Matt is happy that he has such a loving wife to support him through it.
Highest time to stop nursing (in my opinion). I never made it till teething, because mine were around 10 month when they started teething and by that time I was totally exhausted, they ate me up completely....
By the way did you get my email?
Mrs. Bibby~SIX by six months!?!? I have never heard of such a thing-perhaps I SHOULD be grateful for just two! :-)
Abby~Soon enough, soon enough! :-) Will you be getting one this year then...a tree that is? But a baby would be nice too... :-)
Christine~ Thank you. Dinner went well. It must have just been a gesture of kindness (with some controlling power-hungriness rolled in for good measure. But I was thankful for it-and thankful that it is over! hehehe)
Wendy~THAT MAKES THREE!!! Where is Matt? Where is he?!?!? HA!
Lisa~I think I would take the occasional pull and bite over the woes of braces any day. Well, today anyway. :-)
Els~I DID get your email-after reading this...what wonderful news! A return one awaits you! As for nursing, I tend to let them wean themselves-which happened very naturally for Corynn by the time she was a year or so. Once they begin to eat solid food, they slow down quite a bit on the nursing and the way THIS little guy eats-I don't foresee me nursing too awful much longer. SO, I am trying to enjoy it while it lasts...between the winces! :-)
