Good Genetics

Wyatt's 5 mths old today, so, I took some pictures.
I also took individual pictures of the girls.

Update on My Life

Alrighty, as far as American Idol is concerned, I got 3 out of the final 4 right :D woohoo! Go me! hehe

Right now, I think that Katharine and Taylor are the finalists. I'm still rooting and voting for Taylor. I do like Kat, I do... but, there's just something I really, really, really like about Taylor! He did so awesomely tonight too! I really enjoyed tonight's singing :D And Simon (whom I usually agree with and like) was also very positive.

Know what really sucks? The 3 mth pics I brought Wyatt (and had pics of the girls as well done) at Wal-Mart ended up being on bad film! Yeah, great. So, no pics... no digital ones either since I didn't do my usual thing and buy the disc... sucks for me. They owe me a sitting of course; just to figure out when to go. I mean, everyone's bdays are way past. At least I have this nice-ass camera though! :D woohoo!

Calista's last day of school is the 24th. Her cousins (my nieces) have their dance revue on the 28th, so, we'll be going down there to visit and see them perform. It'll be so cute! I'm going to have to remember to bring my video camera as well!

Then, when we come back, we're going to make plans with Jeremy's sister, Tasha, to go to the Lafayette Zoo. I know the kids will love that; plus, I get to debut my tandem stroller :D hehe

Speaking of my nice stroller, I took the kids walking down the road today; it was just such a pretty day. Calista rode her bike. I think it looks like she can go without the training wheels. I asked her if she wanted to try to ride without them and she said yes! But, I couldn't find Jeremy's tools... he finally picked them up (in his trunk). Go figure! lol And he still isn't home. He had to do his deposition (from his car wreck that happened in March 2005) and then stopped at his place of work... now he's out drinking with his foreman or something like that.

Anyways, I really need to get walking more often... like daily. I still need to lose 10lbs to get to pre-pregnancy but 35 to 40 lbs to get to where I want to be. I started doing push-ups and crunches whenever I think about it... I figure that's better than nothing.

And this house... I just want to do a clean sweep. I need someone to help me just clean it out. Jeremy might help... but, he'd want to throw everything away... there are a few things that I'm not ready or about to part with. I need to minimalize; for my own sanity. We have been living in this house for 5 yrs and accumulating stuff. What would be nice would be if Jeremy would build us a storage building; that would help immensely... but, I would allow it to enable me/us in accumulating/hoarding $hit. I'd only put things like outside toys/tools/chemicals/etc and some clothes and toys.

Wyatt cut his first tooth last Wednesday! But, poor baby, he's wanting to chew on everything! I told Jeremy its a good thing he has such a pleasant personality or it would be hell for us (and him)! Ursula still smothers (almost literally) him with kisses and hugs. She wants to be as close to him as possible; all the time.

It really warms my heart to see Ursula and Calista playing together... but, gosh, when they are at odds... it drives me crazy! I'm guessing it doesn't get any better until they are adults.

Here's me and my girls for Mother's Day :D Wyatt was napping at the time :(

This and That

Well, after witnessing Momma Cat give birth... I'm very much dismayed to say that she apparently lost her babies :( While me and the kids went visit during Easter holidays, she moved them. And I am guessing that something got them; like an opossum or snake, or something like that. They're gone :(( If I had only been here, I might have been able to prevent their dimise!

Okay, yes, I'm still into American Idol :D I'm still voting for Taylor Hicks and Chris Daughtry. I think that either Paris or Katharine will be gone tonight.

You know what I hate? I hate being behind on bills. And Jeremy doesn't care about paying them on time. I just don't get it. Why not pay when you have the money? They aren't going to go away or diminish over time; just the contrary. I'm trying be blaise' about it. He isn't and hasn't given me any money for a while now. He gave me $100 to go to visit my family... but, that was mostly for gas and I paid my brother $52 for the land taxes out of it; that Jeremy doesn't know. Not that I'm hiding from him... but, I just forget to tell him.

Its also irritating to have my neighbor's kid here all day long while she naps. If my kids go over there, she doesn't allow them in the house, so I don't allow her daughter in my house. Plus, she doesn't go out there watching them if they're over there... and they're close to a road/HWY; so, I really don't like them there... she also indulges them with candy. And its not like she has any other kids either. Just that one dd that lives with them. She also drinks too much too. Don't get me wrong, I talk to her and all... but, she's one of those people who just don't know when to leave! I have stuff to do at my house. I don't need to entertain her all the time.

Guess I'm feeling bitchy today. Sorry.

The little neighbor girl is nice and all... I have no problem with her... and like I said, I talk to her mom and all... its just irritating to me; here I am, with 3 kids, a house that constantly needs cleaning from the 5 inhabitants and she (the other mom) gets to lounge around while her kid is here; and I have to keep my eyes on them... which impedes progress in my house. Again, I'm glad my girls have another girl to play with; lord knows I would have LOVED to have someone next-door to play with when I was growing up.

Go Shorty, Its Ya Birfday

Yes, today I'm officially 33 yrs old.

I can't say that I feel badly about that. I mean, I kind of was down about turning 30 three years ago... but, not that bad. Just kind of weird leaving my 20's. But, upon thinking about it, I know so much more now... along with being a somewhat different person now then I was 10-13 yrs ago. Of course, I also have 3 lovely children now that I so don't regret having. I was just telling my sis, Cherie, last week "why didn't we think to have one child right after graduation so that we'd have each a teenager right now to babysit our younger children?"... LOL I'd have a 15 yr. old and she'd have a 17 yr old if we would have done that. How weird is that? To think that I could have a teen right now... when my oldest IRL just turned 7 yrs old!!! Wow. How different would my life be if that would have been the case.

Oh yes, Jeremy did remember (he's actually really good about remembering dates). He told me "Happy Birthday" before he left for work this morning. I don't know if he'll get me anything though. I don't expect anything. Plus, I know we're a little behind on a couple of bills; and that comes first (IMO). And really, I wouldn't know what to tell him to get me anyways. I mean... I'm not a 'needy' person. Usually, if I have extra money, I end up spending it on the kids or stuff for the house; but mostly on the kids.

New Hair Cut

Yep, I did it.

I let my sister, newly licensed beautician, free reign on my hair... except to leave some length. Well, she certainly exercised that! lol There were masses amounts of hair on the ground! And OMG, does it feel soooo weird now when I put my hands in my hair! Its like there's nothing there!
It will take a me a little time to get used to it... but, I'm liking it better now; esp. since she did the highlights.
I know it'll feel more comfortable in this frickin' heat down here... less hair, more air... :D I would maybe even go real short, but, Jeremy would probably have a conniption (sp?).

My Beautiful Children

These were taken April 9th, 2006 @ Jeremy's parents' house.

Calista's 7, Ursula's 3, and Wyatt is 3½ mths old.

Our Babies

Good Momma Cat

She did not leave those babies from the time she had them yesterday until this evening! I tried to move her so I could put some newspaper under them but she wouldn't have it!

I had to wait for her to finally leave to do it.
When she finally left the first time, I not only put the newpaper down, but I took this sweet picture, with the sole white one in the middle :D There's 3 black and 2 black/gray tabbies.

Miracle of Birth

Momma Cat had her babies yesterday!

I knew she was close because when I went to get the mail, she followed me and was mewing at me... she's usually not too vocal. Her tail was up and she had a bloody show... I wasn't sure if she had started having them yet or not. Of course, she hadn't yet.

Here's pics of the birth of her first one :)

She must not have realized it was happening so fast because she had her first one right in front of us (we were on the carport)! You can see the little black head inside of her tail; she's licking him/her.

Here she is again, cleaning some more... baby is by her head.

See how close we all were? The momma cat was totally cool; she didn't freak out or anything even though we were all around.
Calista watching on the side of me and that's our little neighbor, Jude.
She's eating the afterbirth... little wet baby is right in front. That baby was walking all over the place! But Momma Cat kept her eyes on that baby. She's SUCH a great momma!
And finally, after finishing up the birthing process for the first one, she promptly brought the black kitty to the place she had her first batch of kittens last May.

Today, she has 6 of those sweet things :) One solid white one. I'm hoping the white one is a male, because I want to keep it this time! Last year, her only white one was the only female, so we gave it away!

The Age of Autism: 'A pretty big secret'

The Age of Autism: 'A pretty big secret'

From the article:

But thousands of children cared for by Homefirst Health Services in metropolitan Chicago have at least two things in common with thousands of Amish children in rural Lancaster: They have never been vaccinated. And they don't have autism.

"We have a fairly large practice. We have about 30,000 or 35,000 children that we've taken care of over the years, and I don't think we have a single case of autism in children delivered by us who never received vaccines," said Dr. Mayer Eisenstein, Homefirst's medical director who founded the practice in 1973. Homefirst doctors have delivered more than 15,000 babies at home, and thousands of them have never been vaccinated.

Hmm.... interesting, huh? Please go to the link and read the entire article.

Me and Wyatt

Here's some pictures that Tasha took this past Saturday at her house.

We had just gotten to her house and Wyatt had been sleeping, just woke up and didn't like the bright sunlight! It was hard on his eyes, I guess :D hehehe

In one, you can see him gnawing on my finger :D
Then, of course, the other two were taken later in her house.

As you can see by the double chin, I still have lots of weight to lose... I'm 12lbs away from my pre-pregnancy weight; which is great but I still want to lose more than that.

Autism Rates Fall With the Removal of Mercury

The increase in reported cases of autism has not only slowed, but actually reversed now that thimerosal, a mercury-based vaccine preservative, has finally been removed from childhood vaccines.

Studies of two government databases indicate that autism rates went up as thimerosal dosages increased, then began to decline as thimerosal was removed.

From 240 to Close to Zero

The average exposure of a young child to thimerosal dropped from 240 micrograms in 1999 to almost nothing four years later. Autism rates among children declined at a similar rate.

Dr. Robert Davis, director of the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) immunization safety group, argues that this cannot "... really be taken to provide any evidence one way or the other." Solid evidence of a link between thimerosal and autism could result in serious repercussions for government agencies and drug companies.

If new recommendations requiring annual influenza vaccinations for children are followed, their average dose could increase back to 60 micrograms.

And people thought I was ludicrious for not vaccinating my precious children!!! I feel so vindicated now! Of course, there's other nasty stuff in those vaccinations still... but, the worst part (I guess) is out. There's still formaldhyde, animal DNA, aborted fetus cells, aluminum, etc.

GRAPHICAL EVIDENCE SHOWS VACCINES DIDN'T SAVE US

American Idol

My favorites right now:

Taylor Hicks
Chris Daughtry
Katharine McPhee
Ace Young

I really, really like Taylor! You can just see how much he enjoys what he's doing. I love watching him. I think he's my top favorite, since the auditions, really.

Chris looks like he's already a rock star :D

Katharine did really well last night. I haven't really been paying attention to the ladies until last night. They haven't really impressed me as much as the guys have. Although, I do like the Pickler chic :D lol I liked a couple of the chics that were voted off already.

And Ace, well, he's just a hottie :D lol No, really, he's good-looking but he sings good too. You can just see him singing to you when he's on stage.

I think a guy will win this year... that's my prediction. And I think it'll either be Taylor or Chris.

Finally!

Yesterday, we finally got that old Sunbird out of our yard! yay!!! After its been sitting there for 3 yrs now!!! I was soooo sick of seeing it! I signed the title over to a junk yard.

So, now, Jeremy and I both have nice, family cars :D He has a '93 Cadillac Deville that seats 6 and I have a '92 Mercury Grand Marquis that seats 6! And the A/C works in both! woohoo! lol

Of course, just because I have a car now, doesn't mean I'll be driving every day. Its not so fun going around with little ones... I go when I need to... but, it'll be a little easier once Wyatt is sitting up on his own. He tolerates the sling for a little while; his favorite place to be is on my shoulder :D

Genealogy

I've been creating an online genealogy chart for my family! I've found and inputted over 300 people already! Dating back to the late 1600's, France! I am not even close to finishing. Its really neat/interesting :D

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

Of course, we bought this movie today! HAD to!!! Loved it!

Its awesome that the movie industry has the technology to produce movies such as the Harry Potter series. I mean, the movies do the books justice and in the past, that just wasn't the case. Of course, you can't have every bit in the movies that the books have, but, they do a great job with what they choose to put in.

I'm anxious to read book six, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. But, then, I'll have to wait for the supposed last book. I wonder if J.R. Rawlings could continue writing the HP series even after he's out of school. I wonder if they'd be any good.

Oh, Ursula asks to watch "Harry Pot-a-mous"... I'm not sure if she's gotten the word confused with a hippopotamous (sp?) or what, but that's what it sounds like. Its funny... and its not like we talk about hippos all the time either... lol She's funny.

I Now Have Wheels!

My gracious father and his wife have given me their car! Its a '93 mocha colored Mercury Grand Marquis! I'm sooo sooo soooo happy! They bought a Surburban for themselves :D I, once again, have wheels!!! YAY! I'm no longer confined to my home like a prisoner!

Strange Dreams

This past week, I've been having very vivid dreams. I love dreaming... but its also a good sign to me, that I'm actually getting some good sleep.

Last night, I dreamt I was at a beach with my sister, Cherie and Ursula... there were more of us, but that's all I remember were there for sure. I was also fishing (something I've only done once in IRL). I had caught a large fish but then had caught a small alligator... I put him back. I was in a 2 piece bathing suit but had a cover-up on. I was in better shape in my dream than I am IRL, but I was still self-conscious.

The other night, I dreamt that the planets were crashing into each other. Only the Earth and Sun remained. I was watching as an observer... either watching a movie or from space, not sure. The night after that, I dreamt I was talking to human-looking aliens. They were living on Earth just like we are.

There were other dreams in the mix... I'll include them as I remember them :D I like recording my dreams. Its interesting to me... and plus, I'd like to see if there's any truth or insight to them.

Today's Calista's 7th Birthday!

We stayed last night at Angele's. Aimee and her family were all still there and so was Racquelle. They all sang Happy Birthday to her this morning :D

We gave her a little impromptu birthday party Sunday night (we were supposed to go home that day). Aimee brought lots of stuff for all of the kids :D Pretty nice of her :D

Funniest thing was Jared dressing up in a Wolverine costume! But funnier than that, he had it on BACKWARDS!!! LMFAO!

Earlier, I went to Dr. Nick, chiropractor! MAN! That was great! I hadn't been since Calista was a tiny baby! I sooo needed it!

Bored

As you can see from the posts below, I was bored... I am up with Wyatt... this seems to be the time he wants to be awake... from like 11:30 to 1:00 am, every night, almost.

So, I did some quizzes.

Now, it looks like he's ready to go to bed... finally... at least I get to sleep in tomorrow morning! woohoo! Watch though, Ursula will wake us up :D lol she loves doing that.

I'm Belong in 1975?

You Belong in 1975

1975 If you scored... 1950 - 1959: You're fun loving, romantic, and more than a little innocent. See you at the drive in! 1960 - 1969: You are a free spirit with a huge heart. Love, peace, and happiness rule - oh, and drugs too. 1970 - 1979: Bold and brash, you take life by the horns. Whether you're partying or protesting, you give it your all! 1980 - 1989: Wild, over the top, and just a little bit cheesy. You're colorful at night - and successful during the day. 1990 - 1999: With you anything goes! You're grunge one day, ghetto fabulous the next. It's all good!

Exercise Update

Alrighty, so far:

Wed: walked one mile and worked out on soloflex-quads and hamstrings
Thur: did crunches on yoga ball - didn't walk because it was too wet to bring my stroller out :D
Fri: walked a mile

My 3 Kids @ 6 weeks old

Calista's in yellow, Wyatt's in the plaid shirt and Ursula's the other one :D

Calista looks the most different but that could be partly from her being so skinny at that time! She was so tiny!

And it looks like Ursula's the chunkiest at 6 weeks old! Look at her face, her cheeks! hehehe

So, anyone has any comments? Who looks like who? Or if they don't even look like siblings? Or what?

Time to Lose Weight!

Six weeks have passed and here I am, finished my first one mile walk of the year! I just need to keep doing this daily (as long as there's no rain!) along with working out and I should be a good weight and size in no time :D lol

Wyatt slept the whole time and Ursula chattered the whole time! hehehe

Now all that's left is to do the work-out in the back room. I'm waiting for Wyatt to fall asleep.

.... just 50 lbs to go...

Finally Finished #5

I just love alliteration... LOL

Anyways, after having it on my bookshelf for, what? Two years? I finally decided to read Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. I finished last night. Now, I can't wait to read the next one! lol

Pumping Success

I just used my sister's breast pump for the first time today and got 4 oz really fast! woohoo!

I have a Gerber slow flow nipple, one of those wide ones that are intended to imitate a real nipple.

So, I tested it. I put my milk in a bottle, boiled the nipples, put one on it. Gave Wyatt to Jeremy along with the bottle. Took a little bit for Wyatt to 'get' it... he sucked on it for a little bit... didn't even drink an ounce. And was turning his head away. And as of right now, is nursing on me... LOL

However, we're going to keep trying because Jeremy and I need at least one night a month to ourselves... at some point... some point soon. A 'night' doesn't mean a whole night as in all the kids sleeping elsewhere... a 'night' as in us going to dinner or something like that and picking up at least Wyatt (if the girls want to sleep over, that's fine).

Ursula keeps taking the bottle. She keeps trying to give it to him and I keep telling her that he doesn't want it. I told her that if Wyatt doesn't want it, I will give it to her. She's happy with that.

Weight Loss Update

Well, today I'm wearing a size 10 pair of stretch jeans... getting better...

I still have much more to go... but, its a start :)

Pardon my ill-fitting bra... I didn't have it set up right... like clicking the opening back... I always forget about checking that.

And of course, that's my little precious son, Wyatt... 5 weeks 1 day old today :)

Things Are Looking Up

Jeremy told me Monday that his plans for work were to NOT miss any more days of work (with the exeptions of dr. appointments) and to become a foreman! WOW! Aspirations!!! Imagine that! I was very pleased to hear that. Funny thing is that just that morning, I had calculated how much Jeremy could bring home if he actually worked all the days he's supposed to. Yep... it would be so very nice if he'd actually work at least ONE FULL WEEK a month... According to my calculations, he'd bring home double the amount in one year then he had EVER... now... if only he keeps his word and go to work.

You're probably thinking 'how does he keep his job if he doesn't go to work?' Well, the thing is is that Jeremy has made himself very valuable there. He does all the different types of welding and fixes things there that needs to be fixed (that's up and beyond what he's supposed to be doing there and getting paid for). Also, he's getting paid as a contractor. The other guys at work are kind of jealous of him because he doesn't get sent home when he misses days of work.

Do you want to know how much J's work likes him? When he took off that week I had the baby (Wyatt), his company ended up paying him for 40 hrs of work!!! Isn't that awesome? That was never even discussed prior to me having the baby! A complete surprise to both of us.

Change of subject...

I have less than one week left to my leisurely life... (big HA HA)... meaning, next Tuesday, I'll be 6 weeks postpardum... and time to get my body into shape!!! I'm going to have to get the infant seat out of the car so that I can go walking with my 2 young ones; strolling them in my awesome tandem stroller :)

Along with walking daily (providing the weather accomodates me), I'll be utilizing the workout machine in the back room. Thankfully, my sister, Cherie helped me clean it out last weekend and even though there's still stuff back there (like the kids' toys), there's plenty of room for me to use the SoloFlex. In fact, I'm thinking of maybe starting today on it... I can't wait to be small again!!! This belly flab is disgusting! I hate feeling my skin touching itself around my back mid section when I stand up! I don't know how anyone tolerates that!

I'm so thankful that Wyatt is such a good baby! He's so easy (knocking on some major wood here).

My Precious Monkeys!

The just love their brother! whew!







BTW, that's Jeremy's pants legs that the girls are wearing as dresses! LOL He has some pants that the legs snap on... he had taken them off yesterday and Ursula immediately scooped one of them up and tried to put it on her leg... so, Jeremy put it on as a skirt at first. Did the same for Calista. Then, the girls ended up pulling it all the way up as dresses.

One Week Postpardum

Okay, actually, its been 9 days. I wear a size 12... bleh Belly is floppy still. My goal is to be a size 3. Barely bleeding. I can't wait until the mandatory 6 wks is over so I can work-out. I think I can probably walk right now (as in walking down the road, pushing a tandem stroller for exercise). I'm still slightly sore in the bottom area. And OMG, can my boobs get any bigger??? Geez... My sister has an electric double breast pump. I'm going to have to borrow it. I just know this child isn't draining me; of course, Ursula is ever so happy to help with that. Plus, I want to start doing 'date' night with Jeremy; at some point in the future. It would really do us good to reconnect on that level. Good for us and for our children.

Bunk Beds

Jeremy put up the top of the bunk bed in Calista's room. Woohoo! The girls are so excited and Ursula has already claimed the top bunk! hehehe I wonder if she'll actually sleep in it! There's a rail, so, I don't fear them falling out. I'll have to take a picture of it. I also need to buy some twin size sheets for it as the bottom is a full size and we have no other twin size beds in this house.

Baby Dreams

Two dreams:

The first one was from a few nights ago. Cherie had some sort of dust/powder that would allow her to see my baby. So, she applied it to my belly and next thing you know, you can see my baby like it was out of my body. The weird thing was that the baby was so tiny and also blue and right before she applied the powder/dust, I had felt my belly and it felt the same way I feel it right now, the big parts, like his butt were big... there's no way he should have been so small. Its like he wasn't even as mature as he is now... like, I wasn't as far along as I am. Anyways, I started feeling like he was vulnable, so I started dusting him off and pulling him close to my belly and he 'went' back in.

The second dream was from last night. I had awaken and sat up in bed and I was like, omg, I dropped! So, I stand up, and my belly drops allright... drops like between my thighs. It was like there were nothing there but my skin and the baby. I was slightly freaking out... trying to figure out how to put the baby back where he belongs or trying to think of how to get him out. Weird, huh?

Not Quite Finished Up

Jeremy, Ursula, and I went shopping yesterday. We had brought Calista to J's parents' last night (and intended for Ursula to stay too) so that we could shop without them... but, Ursula decided she didn't want to stay. I think its because I never left her there. If they come pick her up, its all good.

Anyways, we finished up the shopping for J's 2 nephews and niece and for our children.

For ourselves, we bought a 5 CD/DVD changer with surround sound for the living room.

Its just really uncomfortable nowadays, walking around like that. Its not that my back or anything else was hurting. The uncomfortableness is mostly in my belly and pubic area... but, mostly my belly contracting.

Can't wrap anything with them both here and awake. Guess we'll just have to wait for them to fall asleep.

Last Night's Dream

...or at least one of them that I can remember...

I dreamt I was at this mall or something like it. And there was this guy gay couple that we were talking to or were next to us... maybe we were in line for something... anyways... I finally tell one of them how much he looks like John, my ex-husband. Well, he tells me that he is. And I'm floored. I get all depressed for the rest of my dream. The reason was because I had no idea and if I made such a big mistake with him, who else was I involved with and didn't was know is gay, was he using me a cover... stuff like that. Then, for some reason, maybe this was what we were waiting for earlier, but I am getting my hair bleached and parts of it dyed pink as well as having it cut real short... more of a bob then a boy hair cut though. I didn't tell the guy cutting it to do it that way, just let him do whatever he wanted with my hair. When I looked in the mirror, there were uneven parts and Cherie was going to fix it for me. But the guy who did my hair was supposed to be really good, a stylist that everyone was raving about.

Oh, oh, oh... another dream, or was it part of the above... but, it was kind of like a movie... I can only remember bits and pieces... someone, or some bad guys were running after me, Jeremy, and our baby (no idea where our girls were... hopefully somewhere safe!). They ended up burning down our house but we were able to go inside before it was too bad and save the baby, who was in a crib??? Didn't see the baby's face or gender. Can't remember why they were after us.

Not sure if this is part of that same dream I just typed, but, I was pregnant like I am now, 9 mths, and about to get into a fight with some skinny guy. Don't remember why. And then a guy I grew up with, that's a JW, initials TF, stood up for me and got the guy to leave me alone by talking him out of messing with me.

Another recipe blog that I want to keep track of.

Life with Diapers

Life with Diapers

What the f#ck is this about??? This person has taken text and pictures from my blogs!!! Crazy $hit! This person even took pictures of Calista and Ursula and added text to them so that they'll look they they belong to them! They kept Calista's name but changed Ursula's to Daylin... even used pregnancy pic of me and Jeremy's name!

What a weirdo!

You Can't Make It Up

Interesting things here... not sure what to make of it yet as I haven't read it all yet. I just wanted to make sure I have the link if I want to go back to it and don't want to bookmark it yet :D

Weird Dreams

Watching CSI right before going to sleep will produce some bizarre dreams... LOL

I would jot my dreams down... but, really, its hard. Esp. since I'd wake up so many times, thus resulting in my dreams being disrupted.

CSA

Community Supported Agriculture database. Support your local farmers!

I just found out about this and sent them an email for more information.

There's 3 in Louisiana. One servicing the Acadiana area via Lafayette, one servicing Baton Rouge metro area and one servicing Covington, Bush, Foslom, Mandeville, Abita, and surrounding areas in St. Tammany Parish as well as the Greater New Orleans area.

Someone on one of my email lists (c-birth, unassisted homebirth) just talked about it and how it gets delivered to their homes! I wonder what kind of services this one in my area offers!

Even if they tell me they sell to certain grocery stores, I'd rather buy their wares from those stores and support them in that way, if I can't get to their exact location :)

Upcoming Events

Jeremy's sister, Tasha, and her family are moving back to Louisiana this weekend! She's so excited! I haven't met her baby yet, so, I finally get to see and hold her :D And maybe she'll even make it to my baby's birth! :) Oh, Tasha's bday is this Saturday, the 12th too. But, more than likely, they'll still be on the road for it. She says she'll catch up on it when they get here :) It'll be nice to have her back in Louisiana :) She'll be about 2 hrs away, but at least that's closer than North Dakota! Plus, I can more easily encourage to keep nursing her baby :D hehehe She did tell me that she wasn't ready to wean her yet anyways, so, that's good. Here baby is 2½ mths old (Tasha reads this blog... hehehe Hey Tash! *waving*).

My brother's wife, Jessica, hasn't had their 4th baby yet... her supposed due date was Oct. 31st... but, you know how that goes... its only an estimate and even it it was real, some babies take longer to 'cook' then others :) But, last night, she was having contractions every 3 to 4 minutes. They weren't hurting her though. She was really tired all day yesterday, so she went ahead and went to bed. I talked to her this morning and still no baby! lol But, she said her belly was super hard this morning. She's still real tired. She's resting right now. Hopefully she'll have that baby by this weekend! hehe We're all just waiting to meet him/her! Most of us think she's having her 2nd daughter. Aimee, my sister, says she knows its a girl.

Calista has the opportunity to ride in a parade this weekend with The Fleas. Jeremy will more than likely be working... so, I don't know how that'll happen. I did sign the consent form just in case we're able to bring her! I think it would be neat for her to do that. Its for the Cracklin Festival.

Also, Calista's Thanksgiving vacation is supposed to start Nov. 21st. I say 'supposed' because I'm not sure if anything has changed because of those hurricanes. I think they only missed like 3 days of school due to them though... so, I don't know if they'll be made up from vacation days or at the end of the school year.

Ursula's 3rd birthday is Dec. 22nd. I feel badly for her because I might be in labor at that time! And we brought Calista to Chuck E. Cheese for her 3rd (and 5th) bdays. Calista talked about that forever! I want to do the same for Ursula. But, either I'll be really big and pregnant and uncomfortable at that time OR in labor OR have a brand-new baby. So, no definite plans until the time comes. That's not a big deal since that's usually how we live our life here anyways... we barely ever have anything really planned out.

Hmmm.... I think that's it as far as upcoming events go....

Jeremy's Dream

Yesterday, Jeremy told me that he had a dream that I was checking my own dilation. I checked at 2 cm and at 4 cm and then he woke up!

I told him I don't think that'll be happening since I'm pretty sure I can't reach! lol
