Muslim Baby

A few weeks ago my mother-in-law took a 7th grade teaching job in Florence, AZ. Last night I was talking to her about her class and she was telling me about some of the crazy things the 7th graders were trying to pull; all of them brought me back to my 7th grade year. Why was I so horrible? One thing she mentioned that bothered me was the lack of dictionaries at her school. She had given an vocabulary assignment to her kids and a lot of them mentioned that they didn't have a computer or dictionary at home to look up the words and the classroom only had 2 dictionaries so most of them didn't get a turn to use it. My mother-in-law (Allene) said she told the principal that they needed more. The principal said they couldn't afford to give her a set because of the massive budget cuts. I think every classroom should have more than 2 dictionaries in their classroom. If any of you have any extra dictionaries that you don't mind giving away please let me know 480-678-2548.

I haven't blogged in awhile, so hello to all of you who stop by and check out my blog. This month has been so much fun and I finally have a little time tonight to post some pictures.

Little L's first swim. Isn't she so classy? I love her 50's glamour pose...so sophisticated for her age. I also love that Andy's totally flexing...show off.

We asked my sister- in-law to snap a photo of us. Believe it or not this is the second photo we have together. I can't wait to have our family photo's taken professionally.
P.S. Like Andy's stache? He looks like a pedophile. Don't worry I only let him sport it for a week.

A couple of weeks ago I turned 30. For my birthday my husband let me have a spa day and then take me out to a nice resturaunt. After the spa we went and dropped Little L off at my sister-in- law's and then went to T Cooks for dinner. The next day we went over to my sister-in law's for dinner and she surprised me with these photos. Her best friend is a photographer and so she had her come over with all her props and they went to town. This was such a thoughtful birthday gift. Tears started welling up when I looked at the photos. I love Little L so much and the photos are so precious.

The Nursery






I'm finally posting pictures of Little L's nursery. It took me a long time to decide on what colors to use; should I go with pink, purple, yellow? When I spotted the crib bedding I fell in love with the red, white and light blue. The colors were feminine, childish and light. I'm so happy with the outcome and now that Little L is here it's fun to get some use out of the room.
NO BABY TODAY
Today I went to the hospital so ready to have this baby. The nurses hooked up my IV, asked me millions of questions, took my vitals and dressed Andy in his OR attire. We were so excited. Right before they took us into the OR they did a quick ultrasound to make sure the baby was still breech and sure enough little L had moved into the correct position. I was a little bummed for a few minutes but I'm glad that I will have a quicker recovery time and I don't have to deal with the scar.
Hopefully she comes soon! I'm hoping for a July baby.

6 MORE DAYS
I found out last week that Little L is breech. I had a Dr. appt. yesterday and the physician could feel her little bum so I have scheduled a c-section for the 27th. I've been trying all sorts of ridiculous methods to get her to turn but this little girl doesn't want to move. I may have to spank her little bottom for giving her mommy a scar.

It's baby season right now so I thought I would share this site with all of you new mothers.

Here we are a couple of San Diego tourists posing in front of one of Sea World's finest exhibits. Just look at those beautiful massive whales.
I want to thank my my huge pregnant feet for not ruining my first time at Sea World. I was so pleased with their cooperation so I rewarded them to a pedicure the next day.
Lately I have been obsessed with Nautical themes. I created a Treasury on Etsy titled "Sail Away With Me". If you haven't checked out the Treasury's on Etsy; you should. They're a fun way to discover new items.

I saw this pixie hat on "Etsy Storque" and I love it. I looked at the how- to PDF and then asked Andy's mom if she was up for the challenge. There is no way that I can attempt at making this. Here are the instructions for those of you who know how to knit.
P.S. Do you think Little L is going to look like a teletubby in this hat?
