Crib!

We had an ice day on Wednesday! The ice only lasted until about noon and so we decided to drive on up to Ikea where we bought our crib! Check it out!

I Should Be Rich

Okay, so I found this cute website, http://www.thecutestblogontheblock.com/ and will probably change my background 20 times a day now. Sorry if this is annoying, but it's FREE decorations, people. I would change the decor in my house several times a year if it wouldn't drive my husband mad and break our bank. Sigh. I should have been an interior designer. I've looked at going back to school for some "credentials", but, dude, I can't do another four years. Especially now with little girlfriend Crow on the way. Plus, I think that if I were an actual designer, I'd only really enjoy it if I had access to unlimited funds. I'm not great at making something from nothing......those kinds of people amaze me. Put all the frills together for me and I'll buy it and stuff it in my house! I think I just really like change......which is tricky when you have things like jobs, family, limited funds. Those factors put limits on the amount of change that can happen in one's life. That's why I like haircuts and rearranging the furniture. They give me the little change-fix that I need with little disruption. Speaking of disruption.....where the heck is all of that ice the weathermen were predicting? They get a girl's hopes up for a school/work closing and then don't come through. Tisk.

Subway. Eat Fresh.

Well, www.babycenter.com says our little one is just over a pound and is almost a foot long. (Now I've got the Subway $5 foot-long song in my head). Lungs are developing and may have taste buds.....wonder if she likes jalapenos? I feel enormous. I've gained over 23 pounds and feel every single one of them. But, that's what pregnant ladies do, right? So, I'm trying to enjoy it. My next appointment is on February 6th and then I'll start going every two weeks!!! It won't be long now!!!

Snot

We are in snowy Washington for the Christmas holidays and I am a snot-machine. To quote Melly, "I am awash in snot." How can so much snot come out of one person? I've been steaming my head over a pot of boiling water with vinegar and lavendar about three times a day and I think it's working. Today I'm less snotty and more stuffy. My head feels like a big balloon.

Currently there is 4 feet of snow on the ground and it's been snowing since I got up. Yippee!! It's so pretty. It looks like a winter holiday village out there. I'm concerned about the birds, though. Why are they out? Aren't they cold? Where do they go when it snows? Clearly I didn't pay much attention to my science classes. I bet all of you know where snot comes from and where the birds go when it snows.

Baby Crow is moving around a lot these days. Sometimes it wakes me up at night. Kev has now felt the little one move several times.....kind of makes it more real for us.

Well, that's all for now. Merry Christmas Eve everyone!!!

Belly

Okay, okay you guys. Here's my belly. And, no I'm not dressed up like a supreme court justice for the fun of it. This picture was taken on my way to a DSC Christmas performance. And the other was taken on my birthday. I love my new coat!

Love This One!

"Here With Us"
by Joy Williams

It's still a mystery to me
That the hands of God could be so small,
How tiny fingers reaching in the night
Were the very hands that measured the sky

Hallelujah, hallelujah
Heaven's love reaching down to save the world
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Son of God, Servant King,
You're here with usYou're here with us

It's still a mystery to me, oh,
How His infant eyes have seen the dawn of time
How His ears have heard an angel's symphony,
But still Mary had to rock her Savior to sleep

Hallelujah, hallelujah
Heaven's love reaching down to save the world
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Son of God, Servant King
Here with us
You're here with us

Jesus the Christ, born in Bethlehem
A baby born to save, to save the souls of man

Hallelujah, hallelujah
Heaven's love reaching down to save the world
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Son of God, Servant King
You're here with us
You're here with us
