The best I could do

So here's how things are going at our house. John is getting surgery on his eyes so he doesn't have to wear glasses anymore. This is good because #1 he goes through glasses like no tomorrow and #2 he really wants to wear sunglasses but because of #1 they just aren't cost effective. He has those cheap clip on things but they just make me laugh, they're so huge!
Anyway, in addition to this he's slimming down...probably due to the basketball he plays every morning, the golf he plays about once each week (he's head of the Coast Guard monthly tournaments plus goes to the nearby Navy/Marine course after work sometimes), and the softball he plays at least once per week. Also, because of all the sports he's involved with (and the tatoos he's drawn...hehe), everywhere we go people know him.
In contrast, I still have my glasses and you'll see from the picture below that they're crooked from when Miss Fabulous knocked her head against mine and I haven't been able to get them straight since. I also have completely unruly hair that is neither curly nor straight and I get this halo of fuzz every time I put it back. I don't have a model body, nor will I ever...its just not the way I'm built. Don't get me wrong...I'm working on being more healthy - more awareness on what I'm eating and its effects on me, drinking lots of water, and...starting in November...I'll be going to the gym. Walking/jogging is still good for me but I'm thinking I should be doing more - thus the gym. Anyway. So now I have braces to go along with the untamed hair and crooked glasses. John and I should be quite the pair!
Oh yeah...and do you like the restroom sign on our bathroom door? We found it at an office supply store and had to have it!

Well the braces make you look younger that's always a plus;)And they dont look and either. You should eat right after you get them on it's always helped me. Even when they change the bands. It always made them less sore. You could try it if they hurt.

I feel your pain. I was in braces, glasses and pregnant(in which I always gain 60+ pounds)and Trent was doing young mens basketball where he was frequently mistaken for one of the young men. He also has always had perfect vision and straight teeth. Having said that though, if you ever need confirmation that you go well together just take a good look at MF(while avoiding all mirrors.J/K)because the two of you made her out of your genes and she is . . .well, fabulous!!

The List

This is an incomplete list of the things I'm trying to do before December 15. I know I'm missing a few things but you get the idea. I wish I had more time, but at the same time, I know I would just waste it and end up doing everything at the last minute anyway. So here's at least a partial list of things I need to do or make: 1. matching pajama pants for my girls and their cousins. 2. 4 more bags and 2 more purses. 3. smallish blankets and pillows for my girls' baby dolls and/or stuffed animals. 4. turn 2 sweaters into Christmas dresses for my girls 5. Christmas shop for John 6. gifts/goodies for neighbors and friends 7. decorate for Christmas 8. 2 tutus 9. Christmas cards? or wait until after the baby is born and send an update with an announcement? 10. finish getting the girls' room in order and looking cute 11. organize the basement and purge the STUFF #10 doesn't necessarily have to be done before the 15 th but I'd like to just get it DONE already. ...

I've been told I need to update the blog so here are several pictures of little Star. She is now just over 11 lbs. and just shy of 23" long. She is just a bit big. Miss Fabulous was nearly 4 months old before she got as big as our Star! She is fun and really cuddly. She really loves to eat (thus the big size!) and sleep but seems to be wanting to be on the move. John has dubbed her "Scooter" because she is never where we put her. She rolled over from her back to her tummy the other day! Still not great at night...sometime she just wants to be awake, but last night she slept 7 hours straight and I'm hoping its the beginning of a trend! Miss Fabulous just LOVES her little sister and is always trying to help. MF is doing a little better in school with a lot of help from her teacher and some from us at home. We are starting her in a program at school where they help children deal with transition, which seems to be the biggest part of her problem. The progr...

In case you're like my mom, who can "never see anything in these pictures", it is baby #2 due at the beginning of August. Hopefully we get to keep this one...all signs say yes. Please keep us in your prayers!
