Thanks!!

Jicama time!

So, I am signed up for these weekly updates on Calvin's growth and whatnot. This week, they say he is the size of a large Jicama. Hmmm...whats that you ask? (me too).

According to the research I have just done, it is a vegetable also known as a Mexican Turnip, yam bean, or Mexican Potato. Also, parts of it are poisonous. So, be very careful if you should try it. Only eat the parts that are safe for you!!!!! I'll let you guys do more research if you want...But I thought I would introduce you to the Jicama since Calvin is that size this week:)

Dora

Yeah!! Hannah finally got her Dora Crocs today.
She is SO excited, you guys have no idea!!
She has been asking for these for a VERY long time.

here we go again....

Ok, so I was in the Party Store across the street checking out prices for Hannah's BD party. I figure we need to get the ball rolling on that asap, seeing as Calvin is coming in 8 weeks! And the lady asked point blank when I walked in if I was due tomorrow! I just laughed and said no, than proceeded to changed the subject to balloons. I was able to find a "4" candle for 25 cents there, and as I was paying she asked me if I was sure I wasn't having twins. I know I am a little bigger than normal, but seriously people!!! Twins. I can't believe the nerve of some people, they have NO tack what so ever. Did she think that after she insulted me I was going to drop $15 on balloons there for my child? Hmmm....
I guess I should stick a picture on myself on here for you out of towners, and see what you think! Some of you haven't seen me since Christmas.

Fun ideas

Here is the link to a website I found. For those of you with girls, you may enjoy looking at it, it has some really cool items that you can buy for your friends, children, or you! Just to warn you though...the stuff is pretty expensive. So you may just want to "look" :) My favorite are the rain boots for little girls that look like Mary Janes. They will definitely be on Hannah's Christmas list next year.

$1

Aren't you guys loving the $1 drinks at McDonalds this month? We are!!

Sweet 16

Today in the car Hannah made us a deal, and actually shook on it! Not that she knows what she was doing, but it was pretty cute anyway. The deal was that all she was going to get for her 16th Birthday was $100. We just have to laugh at this based on the conversation we were having with her. We have promised her the mustang when she gets old enough to drive...which we all know is kinda a joke...(except for her). Like it will still be around in 13 years. Anyway Dan and I were "discussing" if she was really going to get a car or not, which was a conversation based the previous conversation of what we were going to do this year for her Birthday, and out of the blue she asked us for $100 for her Birthday. Dan was like "for your 16th Birthday?" and she said yes, So we asked her if she was serious, and then if we could shake on it and she said yes...than Dan told her that was great thing. Then she asked for $1 for her Birthday...and he asked her if he could give her $1 right now for her Birthday this year and that would be it for ever and ever. She said "OK!!!!". It was SO funny b/c she has NO clue what dollar amounts mean. She just wanted a dollar right then! But don't worry, we will still get her Birthday presents. We aren't that mean!!!!
(I hope this isn't too confusing to read...and is as funny to you as it was to us!) ....and if it isn't, than I am sorry. Just call me:)
Also, she told me the other day that she was excited to go to Kindergarten in a few years b/c she was going to get to drive there all by herself!!! I think she may have an obsession with driving! It was so funny. Can you imagine Kindergartner's driving? lol.

Maked Mo

Here is a funny transcript Hannah and I had yesterday!

Hannah - Do you think Little Mo is going to be yellow or creamy beige?

Me - He will be creamy beige like you and Daddy and me. But when he comes out he might be more pinkish with some crud on him. But the Dr. will clean him up and then we can put his new clothes on him. Won't that be fun?

Hannah - Will he be "maked" when he comes out?

Me - Yes. He is maked in my tummy right now!

Hannah - (laughing hysterically) really? He doesn't have any clothes on!! (more laughter). What about a diaper?

me - nope. He isn't wearing anything!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Even today at lunch she was still laughing at the thought of him in my tummy without any clothes on. It is SO cute what she comes up with. I guess it never occurred to us that she didn't realize he was maked.

31 weeks

Hey all,
I went to my Dr. Apt this morning. I have gained 25 lbs total, which is great! At this point with Hannah I had gained 24lbs. SO I was excited. I am measuring 34 weeks(!), so He is definitely going to be a big baby. I was telling her that the lady at Wal-mart thought I was having twins, and she said that my tummy was an "impressive size." My Dr. said she'd like to induce a little early and we tossed around some dates. So, if you could keep us in your prayers as we decide what is going to be best for Calvin and my body, we'd really appreciate it. She is going to do an ultra sound at 38 weeks that will be able to tell us exactly how big he is at that time.

Air Port

Hannah using the moving sidewalk at the airport last week. This may be one of her favorite parts about picking up people!!

Random Comments

So, These random comments on my rather large tummy are getting better each day!! Today I was paying (a whole 1.25$) for my new tire, and here is what the lady says to me(!!!)

Lady-Are you having a boy or girl?
Me- Boy
Lady-When are you due? Next week?
Me-(laughing...) No, June 23rd.
Lady-WOW!! Are you like having twins or something?
Me-No (fake laughing at this point!)

Yikes! Huh? Definitely a first...
My next appointment is Tuesday, so I will let you know how it goes! I will be 31 weeks tomorrow. It is pretty exciting, the end is in sight.

Spring time

Happy Rainy Day!

Earth Quake!!

Did you guys feel the Earth Quake this morning?(540am)
We did!! It woke us up, and we were like what is happening! We were shaking and there was this unexplainable low rumble noise. By the time we woke up there was only about 30 seconds left of it. Dan was like I bet that was an Earth Quake! So he turned on the TV, and sure enough it was. It was a 5.2. Crazy.
We lived through an Earth Quake!!!!! Let me tell you, it is the oddest feeling to wake up shaking!
Have a great day. It is supposed to be 80 here.
