So a few weeks ago, Chris asked if he could remodel the master bathroom. He estimated incorrectly, as I assumed he would, that it would take the 4 day weekend he had. We spent that Saturday and Sunday picking out tile for the bathroom in addition to the demo that he, Naciem, Anthony, and his dad did on it. I originally thought the tile was too gray ( Read more... )

It's truly amazing how much snow has fallen the past day, and this winter more generally. I heard on the news over the past day that we haven't had this much snow in a winter since 2002 or so. It's been a long time since we've had as much snow as we are getting.

Chris had made one effort to make a path from our front door area to the bottom of the ( Read more... )

So I finally weighed myself today. I stopped in the nurse's office today on my way back up to my room after lunch and asked if she had a scale. I'm 122, only 5lbs higher than I was pre-pregnancy! I was actually kind of shocked, although I suppose I shouldn't've been. For the past two weeks, I've been wearing two of four pre-pregnancy pants that fit ( Read more... )

walking from my house to SPX..

Avril Lavigne's "Things I'll Never Say" and "My World."  And on the other cd... "Freak Out" and "My Happy Ending."

Wow.

At Andrew's 6 month appointment on the 15th, he weighed 15lbs, 13oz and 26 and a half inches long. He showed the doctor that he could sit up fairly well on his own, when focused on something directly in front of him, and the doctor said that if he was already scooting on the floor, he should be rolling before 9 months. He also recommended that ( Read more... )

Andrew's 6th month appointment is scheduled for 12/15/09 at 12:15pm. I'll be skipping out of the second exam (or at least the second half of the second exam) period, but I don't have an exam to give then, so I'll just make sure I'm not supposed to sub for anyone ( Read more... )

Andrew went in for his 4 month appointment on October 27th. which is technically almost 4 and a half months.  He was 14lbs 4oz and 24 3/4 inches ( Read more... )

Andrew's been rolling over most of the time when placed on his back. Last weekend, a few times when I put him down while I walked over to the laundry room or into the kitchen, he'd roll across the floor. One time, I caught him with his head partly underneath this one table we have, that has a lower end.  I kept hoping as I dashed over there, that ( Read more... )

Andrew finally rolled over from his back to front yesterday! :)  After a few weeks of trying, by rolling halfway over, he rolled over a few times over the course of an hour yesterday morning before even thinking about getting ready for Mass. He's also been able to get his one arm out from underneath of himself after rolling over, which he's been ( Read more... )
