No time to blog........

Everything is the same as always around here. I really haven't had time to write about anything, but there hasn't been anything to write about either. Lola stayed home from school on Tuesday with me, after I had worked all night. She didn't want to get out of bed, get dressed, eat breakfast, etc.........the time change threw her off. She needed a mental health day. She did really well for having a practically non-functioning whale of a parent all day. We took a long nap together in the afternoon and then we both felt like new people.

On Wednesday we made butterscotch oatmeal cookies..........they were SOOO good. (Yes, I ate one.) We took them to Dean's work, he said everyone finished them by the end of the day. I will post that recipe on here soon, it would work with chocolate chips, dried fruit, or whatever you wanted to put in there.

Yesterday and today I have been sick. I thought it was just allergies from our lovely torrential gusts of winds, but today it is way worse. I called my doctor, and of course the nurse said to "treat the symptoms" since I am not running fever. What do nurses know anyways???? HAHA just kidding.

Lola is heading to the Dallas area for her "Spring Break" from preschool. She will be gone 5 days. Hopefully I will have a lot accomplished around the house and everything ready for baby when she gets back.

Here are some recent pictures, some are from her Easter party at school yesterday. Enjoy.

The fetus is still doing great. He is still quite large, but maybe he will slow down in the next few weeks. Everything with the pregnancy is still good...blood pressure is normal, swelling is minimal, and blood sugars are under control. I don't care how or when he gets here, as long as he is healthy and we can take him home with us. That is our goal. Nothing else new at our house. Have a good weekend.

Insane Weather

Saturday we were outside at the park in short sleeves, yesterday we were outside in short sleeves, and today it is snowing. There is not enough snow to do anything with, but the wind is gusting 45 mph and it is freezing. Hooray for unpredictable Texas weather!

Windy Day at the Park

Lola and I went to Legacy Play Village today. I can't believe that we have never been there before! It is such a great place for kids! It was built by the city (I think) with donations a few years ago. Dean is out of town until tomorrow on a business trip. I forgot how easy it is to entertain her with both of us at home! We are having a good time though, just she and I. She is a good girl. She has completely taken over our bedroom with stuffed animals, books, her blankets and pillows, and she used our bed linens to make a tent. When I work she sleeps in our room with Dean, and apparantly she tells him which side of the bed to sleep on and which pillows he can have, etc.......which does not work for me. I have to sleep right by the bathroom and I can't sleep without certain pillows. Last night was interesting to say the least. Tonight I am going to try some reverse psychology!

I think the sand was her favorite part!

Work Baby Shower

On Monday the girls at work had a shower for us. It was such a surprise and so wonderful! They gave us so many things that we will need when the baby gets here - including our carseat! Yay! Thank you so much!
