Carolina Jasmine

I have these beautiful flowers growing outside my back door. And boy - do they smell AMAZING. I'd like to capture this scent in a bottle, and sell it.

I'm about 5 weeks away from the due date and she's kicking my butt. Instead of laundry and ironing right now, my butt is plopped on the couch, praying that she'll disengage herself out of my lower pelvis and allow me to walk across the floor without buckling to my knees. I'm thinking that she'll grace this world before she's due, but I also thought that about Joey - and he came pretty much on time, one day before he was 'expected.'

The popular nesting feeling among prego women has set it. Can't seem to get the house clean enough. Little girl's room is done and ready, but the rest of the house could drive me mad.

Joey is in desperate need for a haircut. I may attempt again. I've done pretty well on all his other haircuts... but I get so nervous. He's wiggly and it takes me an hour to do it every time, (which baby may not tolerate well), but its worth a shot. I may attempt tonight. If so, pictures to come.

Hope all is well!!!

The taste of the basketball - not as rubbery as you'd think!

I haven't had any real prego pics up on the site this go-around. So here's one from a few weeks ago. Yep - I swallowed that basketball. She's a big girl. Suspected to be over 5 lbs by now. This was at 26 weeks, and I'm currently 34 weeks, with 6 big ones left to go. I'm bigger now, obviously, but honestly, not by much. But SHE is bigger. I just don't have any more skin to stretch, or room for her to move. Believe it or not, no stretch marks. How in the world?!?! But I feel her every inch, from one side to the other, up and down. I don't know where my other gastrointestinal organs are currently located. I guess when I had my gallbladder out 10 years ago, I made a gaping hole where everything could slide into if need be - and they need be.

Rebel

Joey met a new buddy - Rebel. its the neighborhood sweetheart puppy. She is 1/2 great dane, 1/2 lab and is only 8 months old. She's SO pretty, sporting a deep gray colored coat with white "boots." I have a better photo of her but I just haven't loaded it yet. I will post it soon.

Anyway, he LOVES his new friend. I haven't seen him go this crazy over a puppy in a long time! He asks about her all day, calling her "Reb" or "Rebels." When I told him we were going out for a walk today to find Reb, he ran straight for the door.
