clarification

Just a quick note to say that the yearbook picture of Adam from a couple posts back is NOT his real high school picture. The program just plugs your face into ugly yearbook pictures. Yeah, he had his chubby days but never got to the Chris Farley look. Just so you know.

I actually thought the picture looked pretty good...

I loved the story about the bathroom. Totally sound like something Gracie would do. I don't think it is embarrassing that you don't lock the door- at least you probably close it...sometimes.

oh my gosh i love that you feel like you need to clarify that, especially considering that the picture doesn't look remotely real. you make me laugh.

i also love the bathroom story. especially the part about you lying on the ground with your face up to the crack. ha.

When in the course of human biological events it becomes necessary for one person to dissolve the umbilical bands which have connected her with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle her, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that I, the father, should declare the statistics and condition of such individuals so separated....... so here is my post: Sunday morning: 0330: Martha, who has been contracting, wakes Adam. 0330: Adam, who is happy to hear that contractions are coming, is nevertheless content to lie in bed for a little longer. 0330-0350: Adam and Martha time contractions at 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 minutes apart. 0400: Contractions increasing in strength. 0410: Joe arrives to watch Marian. 0415: Martha is not enjoying contractions which are strong and consistent by now. 0416: Joe's expression shows that he's never seen a woman in labor. 0420: Adam and Martha leav...

Hello world!

Look at me, doing a blog post and joining Facebook in the same week! I guess it's time for an update since it's only been four months. I'll start with Liv. I can't believe she's already 4+ months old! She is doing great! I feel so blessed that she is so healthy and developing perfectly so far. In the last week she has started rolling over (multiple times so she ends up far away from where I put her) and grabbing things. She has also decided she doesn't like nursing from mommy. :( We'll see how long I can stand pumping... Usually she is a happy little person, but in the last two weeks she has screamed for an hour+ straight while being babysat (sorry Ang and Anne-Marie!). What a stinker! I told Adam she could write a book called, "How to Lose Friends and Frustrate People." At least she's good for me. Here are some recent pictures. She gets lots of attention from her adoring older sisters. Sometimes she's painfully aware that being the thir...

And we're having...

another GIRL!!! We are really excited. She was so cute on the ultrasound--my favorite part was her little foot (measuring 3.5 cm right now). She wasn't doing flips and cartwheels like Mini was on her ultrasound so maybe she'll be a little mellower, more like Emmy. Most importantly, she looks healthy and her growth is right on. The only disappointment is that they didn't move my due date up at all. I was hoping to be moved up a week--away from Halloween. That's OK. The tech said she's actually measuring for November 1 so maybe I'll try to hold out for November 2 or 3. Seeing her made me so excited to get to meet her! As much as I don't love being pregnant, I'm so excited to have another little bundle to hold!
