Today we found out that on or around July 14th of this year, we will be welcoming a baby boy into our family. According to the sonographer, everything looks as it should be. Stubborn little thing did not want to shift position so that the sonographer could measure him properly. (Gee, I wonder where he gets that from...) For anyone who's ( Read more... )

Happy 31st Birthday, torontoangel.

So we got home yesterday afternoon from Florida. Originally we were supposed to return home on Friday. However when we got the airport last Saturday, we discovered that our flight was delayed by several hours and that meant missing our connecting flight in Newark. So we flew from Rochester to Newark on Saturday and Newark to Ft. Myers on Sunday ( Read more... )

So we have a week's vacation coming up at the end of this week. cmuckle and I are leaving for Bonita Springs, Fl. to see his parents for a week. The weather looks great. I can't wait! I love my job and I love my students, but I am ready for a break. I'm just really tired of the stupid things my students do lately so it's definitely time to get away ( Read more... )

I'll start by saying that I acknowledge that many of my journal entries are related to baby stuff. At this point, being pregnant is a huge part of my life right now since my body reminds me constantly about it.

So yesterday we bought the crib from Sears. It's a Delta Jenny Lind crib. It was on sale and we bought it pretty cheap. As I've said before, I aim to be practical about outfitting the nursery with furniture. We had my mom check it out before we bought it and also consulted Consumer Reports. Next week we need to put it together since the box ( Read more... )

So today we started our baby registry at Babies'R Us. Yes, I know it's early. However, we want to allow cmuckle's mom to participate and the next time we will see her is the end of February and then she won't be home again until May. So my mom went with us to pick out items and tell us what were the most important items to get. I have a vague idea as ( Read more... )

Yesterday we met littlebeelex, berms and torontoangel at Galleria Mall in Buffalo. It was great to see them, especially littlebeelex and berms whom I haven't seen in a long time. We bought more lotion from Bath and Body Works. It's having a sale until January 27th that features a lot of their discontinued scents. I now have 7 bottles of Tropical Passionfruit lotion. That should last a ( Read more... )

I got into a conversation last week with a student about songs from "The Muppets". I realized that I do not have one of my favorite songs. cmuckle tried to find it online. The song is "I hope that Somethin' Better Comes Along" and is from "The Muppet Movie". It's sung by Rowlf and Kermit. It's available on record, cassette and cd. I need it in cd or ( Read more... )

Power has resumed at our house. We got it back at 7:45 pm on Thursday. The phone was repaired on Saturday. I have restocked the refrigerator and freezer so all systems seem to be go ( Read more... )
