My hiatus
I'm a Mommy! I love it, it was what I was made for.
Today is not the easiest day on a Mommy's heart though. My poor little guy had his first big round of vaccs. this morning and he's been feeling crummy all day.
He had his 2 month check up and his height (currently at 25 1/4 in) is in the 105th percentile! Our doctor congratulated us that our healthy 2 month old is the size of a healthy 4 month old! Yes, the Cleveland Browns & Houston Texans are already fighting over him for next year's team.
Had a lovely time at the Spouse's Retreat this weekend, great time gabbing it up with the girls. Now we're off to Houston this weekend to visit family & bebop around Galveston. Can't wait! I hear my darling boy, off I skedaddle.

Too Comfy
abigail's thought cafe
Apparently Ben is quite comfy where he is because he doesn't seem to be in any hurry to come out & greet the world. Today is officially week 39- which I had desperately hoped I would never see. So we're in the final countdown which can only include days & no longer weeks. I do give many thanks to the sweet ladies at church who were convinced my doctor had the wrong due date b/c with me so huge how could I possibly go until the end of August?! Well apparently, this is how. Otherwise in good spirits though & my house is certainly clean. Nothing else better to do & no excuse not to do it.
Mom comes down this weekend which I am so excited about I could dance in a circle & piddle on the floor like a puppy. Oh no wait- that's just pregnancy's lack of bladder control. (TMI- sorry folks). At least I'll have delightful company for the last week with her here- can't wait. Drive Momma drive!
Guy & I go in for our appt with the Doc tomorrow- then we have one already scheduled for on the due date next week. (he fills up fast & I wasn't going to take any chances going at the end of the week past my due date- I'm seeing that man when I hit 40 weeks dag nab it!). Apparently if/when we get to the due date, doc will set up a date for an induction. Which I'm not particularly thrilled about, but it's not as if Ben can stay in here forever- despite how desperately he tries!
Alright, off to keep washing windows. No it's not nesting folks, it's just freaking boredom!!! Happy day to all of you out in cyberland.

back by popular demand

Well, back by popular demand, here we are with another exciting adventure in Pregnancy by Proxy. It's been a quiet week here in Brownsboro, my hometown... Actually it hasn't been quiet at all, we've been working our little Texan tails off with VBS every night. Thankfully it's only 3 nights & tonight is our grande finale. I've been heading up the music & singing portion, and as the kids are prone to teasing me, have been dancing around like a monkey. A couple of the other women were worried I was going to shake poor Ben loose a few times, but I assured them my son is much more industrial strength than a few wiggles here & there. We have fun little motions to our Circle G Ranch (where God is in the center & the love never ends!) music which gets the kids all excited & having fun.
Ben's squirming around more & more. He has officially found my ribs & will occasionally use them as target practice. Kinda funny feeling his body parts quite that high on my own body. The other night I found a little foot up near my right rib & as Guy put his hand to feel that little foot, the little foot kicked him! :) That's been a fun new progression. Ben responding to us & when we press around on my tummy & he squirms around in response. btw- today starts month 8- happy us, on the downhill slide now!

So I'm not sleeping well these days, the belly's just too ginormous to get comfy. So my sweet Grandpa decided what I needed was a happy recliner. So here it is, it arrives this afternoon. I promise it doesn't look quite so 80's & Grandfather-y in person. But sitting in it is the best I've felt in weeks. So I don't care really what it looks like, I'm a happy girl.

New Registry
Ok folks- get ready to giggle at the tree huggers again. My Mom asked for me to put together a registry for our cloth diapers & here it is. They're just too darn cute to me- I particularly love the bug print. :)

Take me out to the ballgame
I love baseball, but this fantasy league might actually be too much for me. My extent of baseball fun generally includes wearing my Cleve Tribe cap & begging for a hot dog or two at my yearly trek to a game. We'll be going to a Rangers game in a couple of weeks with the church (organized by moi). Not particularly thrilled that my summer game has to be a Rangers game, but I suppose it's better than watching the Yankees or the Braves play. Anywho- the fantasy league. There's just too many players to keep up with. Football could be adjusted once a week & that was that. This you have to keep up with every single stinking day. For those of you who are generally surprised that I have any remote idea as to anything relating to professional sports- all I can say is that it's my husband's bad influence on me. Who would have ever guessed, little Abby Stonebraker laboring over fantasy sports leagues... ah well. Go Tribe.

Cleveland Rocks
Let's just take a moment & reflect on the glories of Cleveland & Northeast Ohio. We will be traveling there for my sister's graduation in just a few weeks & is this little mid-westerner at heart ever excited! Granted we're incredibly excited for Lizzie's graduation, but going to Ohio is always cause for celebration. Particularly fun will be the night before Lizzie's grad when the fam goes to see Garrison Keillor & Prairie Home Companion. Guy & I are so excited we could just wiggle like puppies. Granted we'll be sitting in the lawn & at 7 months along I figure I'll resemble a beached whale that somehow made it 9 hours west of the coast, but still. Good times, folks, good times.
So anyway, the glories of northeast Ohio, ah the cooler weather (anything under 95 in June is great with me), the soft grasses (bye bye St. Augestine), and regular uses of the phrases You Betcha, so long, & refering to things as "these ones" or "those ones". I love Ohio. The only thing better is Ohio in September during Yankee Peddler. But alas & alak I may actually have to miss this year. Traveling with a 3-4 week old probably wouldn't be preferable by Dr. So & So Pediatrician. Someone go & eat some apple fritters for me... i love Ohio.
