- I can't stop thinking about birthing Alyssa. Possibly it's because sweet Layla was just born or because my dear friend Becks just announced her second pregnancy but either way I daydream about that fabulous day all the time.
- I just watched the video with Riley right after Lyssa came out and Daddy talks to her telling her how much he loves her and how pretty she is. Makes me fall in love with him all over again. He says over and over again that he wished he knew what to call her...we didn't name her for a few hours as I had to make sure that my name was out the window. She just looked like Alyssa Marie though so there you have it.
- Since I am 'dumping' all things baby I will just throw this out there-I LOVE being pregnant. I miss it right now. Not saying I want to be pregnant but I miss Lyssa Lu swimming around in there, kicking me and getting hiccups. I miss reading the weekly updates and seeing my midwife every month. She became a friend and I just saw her in the hallways this week at work and we hugged and I realized how much I miss it all. Yes, I read every weekly update with Alyssa.
- Chasing Cars came on the radio today and I don't think I have heard that song since Feb 9th when on the way to the hospital we heard it 3 times. Twas baby girls theme song. Have you ever really listened to the lyrics. Perfect baby-having song.
I don't quite know
How to say
How I feel.
Those three words
Are said too much
They're not enough
All that I am
All that I ever was
Is here in your perfect eyes, they're all I can see.
I don't know where
Confused about how as well
Just know that these things will never change for us at all.
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
- Speaking of music did you know that you can make your own Playlist? Just scroll all the way to the bottom of the page and click on "make your own Playlist" or "pop-out playlist" and then you can listen to my music or make your own. Is it obvious that I am obsessed currently with John Mayer?
- I worked from 4 a.m. to 2 p.m. today. I feel oddly young again like before I had kids and had just started at Pathway. I was working crazy mad overtime hours back then and just an extra 1.5 hours oddly made me feel young again.
- I just finished a book in 5 days. It was one of the best books I have ever read. Winter Garden by Kristin Hannah. Same author as my other favorite Firefly Lane. It was a story of great loss, survival and love. The story in the story was utterly heartbreaking and I could not put this one down. It was a total feel good story that left me in tears on my lunch break. No surprise with the tears.
- I am looking forward to church on Sunday and hearing our new Pastor preach.
- I am going to spend all weekend soaking in my kids.
- School starts for Riley on Wednesday and I am eagerly anticipating waking up to my kids midweek and caring for them in the morning before dropping him off at church and then going out to coffee with Tammy a fellow preschool mommy.
- Although I do not want to be pregnant anytime soon I cannot stop thinking about our baby making dilemma/disagreement. I want 2 more kids, D wants 1. I have a really hard time imagining that the next time will be the last time.
- We had family pictures taken last Sunday and I can only see the bags under my eyes, the chub around my middle section and the drab hair on my head. Also Lyssa's ear folded is driving me nuts so I am going to have to replace her head with a better ear shot!
- We ate at Perkins last night with my family. My Uncle works there and gets a free meal every month for up to 6 people. We had malts, apps, dinners and muffins for free. Our tab was $130 and we only had to cover the tip. Who'd have thunk you could spend $130 at Perkins!?
- Can you believe 9-11-11 is coming up. 10 years. I will never forget waking up in the dorm to my roommate screaming and crying while I tried to comprehend what was going on. Getting home to my family and Derrick was the most important thing and a huge part of my not wanting to be away at college anymore.
- I miss my sister. I want to see her more and more often these days.
- I am buying new Jillian Michaels DVD's this weekend in hopes that these last 10 lbs finally fall off of me.
- I finally got through the renewal ceremony pictures and I am not overly happy with the results. My brain was 'loose' that day and I was ill-prepared. Hopefully come September 24th I will feel more confident or at least act more confident so Anne and me rock it.
- I am crazy content right now with life. It is good.
I feel better now that my brain has been emptied. Cheers to Friday!
