We're Having A.......

?????????????????????????????

.

Yep, that's right. We've waited 20 1/2 weeks & we still didn't get to find out boy/girl info today at our ultrasound. The little booger is "way far" down in my pelvis, with legs crossed, totally breech.

.

Well, I guess another 2 weeks of waiting won't kill us. Funny- this would've been making me CRAZY with my 1st or 2nd kid. I guess I'm just older & more accepting these days.

.

Stay tuned!

You'll know when we do!

And She Didn't Even Look Back.....

There was a strange quiet in my house last night.

.

The children were nestled all snug in their beds,

While visions of lunchboxes danced in their heads.

The backpack was placed by the doorway with care,

In hopes that the first school day soon would be there.

And so it begins.

.

The first day of school dawned bright & early this morning, with Emma peeking into my room, fully dressed, at a quarter to 6.

"Yay, School" mumbles Mommy.

Emma was totally packed, clothes laid out, & ready to go at 5:00 pm last night. I LOVE that she LOVES school so much, & I LOVE even more that she gets the same fabulous teacher that she had last year. It makes sending her off to her first full day of first grade that much easier.

Her favorite part? Eating lunch & a snack at school. Second on the list? That would be recess. All the things that lowly kindergartners don't get to do, I suppose.

My favorite part of school? The rather random combination of the Barbie backpack & Scooby-Doo lunchbox. Gotta love my contradictory little girl!

Now she's home, gotten some BIG hugs from the boys, and is rarin' to go back already.

If only Mommy were as ready to start this madness all over again, too.
