it's been a while...

I don't seem to find the time to blog anymore.  There is a lot I don't seem to find the time to do!!

Aside from the three month old, we've been busy.  We are moving about 400 miles away in a month!  B's work is moving there, so we are going.  The cost of living is a lot lower in our new city than it is in our LA suburb, so I'll get to stay home with the little one for at least another year!!  That is the only thing that is making me okay with this move.  We are renting out our house and are in escrow on one in the new city.  We had a whirlwind trip there last week and dealt with the whole house and financing thing.  Since I started this post this morning, we may have found renters for our house!  Hopefully we'll find out soon if they want it.  It would be nice to cross that off of the list!!

The little one is doing great!  I weighed her on my scale today, and she was 12 pounds, 4 ounces!  I tried to measure her length, and got almost 24 inches-- just a smidgen short of it.  She holds her head up really well now.  She still isn't really grabbing at toys and things but looks like she is thinking about it.  She's rolled over from tummy to back a few times, but doesn't do it with any regularity--  in fact, I think it's accidental!  She likes to roll from her back to her side, but that is nothing new.  She's laughing a little bit too!  My little girl is already getting so big!

    Happy things for the move are getting all set up. It sounds like your little girl is doing great...rolling over was accidental for my little one at first too =)

    What a busy time! It's been a month since I posted anything and we've just been baby-wrangling over here, not moving, too! Congrats on the new arrangement!

It's you!

"It's you!  I just know it!  You've lost some weight, it must be because of the morning sickness!" No, it's not me.  I'm not pregnant. "But is HAS to be you.  Who else could it be?  You just don't want to tell because it is too early" No, really.  It's not me.  I promise.  I haven't cheated on my husband.   "Well, who else could it be?" Um, one of the other 20 teachers of child bearing age at this school.  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I've guessed the other two pregnant teachers, before I even knew there were pregnant teachers at my school.  I have 'pregodar' (like gaydar, but for preggos) and really can sense the preggos around me.  I hadn't pegged a 3rd teacher, but I heard a rumor that there is a third when I started being hounded, and I think I have it figured out.  Its the one on her 3rd engagement and 3rd marriage in 5 years.  She's reaching the top of her realistic baby time, so it makes sense.

plugging along

There really isn't much to say at this point.  I'm plugging along, doing fine. Yesterday, I bowed out of a BBQ with B's family.  In May I mentioned BIL's ex and her "surprise" (planned) pregnancy.  One of the reasons for this BBQ was for BIL's birthday, and she decided to drive down to attend (she's still living 5-6 hours away).  She's like 26 weeks pregnant, and the thought of having to spend the day with her made me feel ill.  BIL isn't planning on living with her and the baby or marrying her, but will go visit often.  She is such an attention whore, I couldn't deal with her talking about the baby and flaunting the fact that she is still around because of it.  I've felt a little bit of a cold coming on, so I exaggerated it and stayed home.  I did end up throwing up my dinner, so I'm glad I didn't go. I felt a little guilty about skipping out on this, but I got over it quickly.  MIL was hoping that B and I would announce our

off with the crazies

Well, as expected, I had a pretty crappy Christmas.  Christmas eve was actually the best part.  We always celebrate on Christmas eve with my mom's side of the family.  That was actually fine.  Christmas day, not so much.  First, at my dad's side of the family lunch, I've never felt like such an outsider.  Christmas at the IL's started out fine.  BIL's dumb girlfriend decided to group each person's gifts in a pile, and we opened gifts one person at a time.  This took forever, and was kind of annoying.  For this group, we set up a gift exchange with B's brothers, so that we didn't have to buy for everyone.  I did the arranging for this, and think I did a good job.  I gave everyone opportunity to give input and include anyone else who was not included (didn't know if BIL's girlfriend was coming), compiled the responses, and sent out the information.  After all of that, B's brother went and got something for everyone, which really set me off.  Be
