This picture brings a smile to my face as my little one, in wonder, watches his daddy shovel the driveway.
Sister’s Wedding
My ‘little’ sister got married a couple of weeks ago. I am proud and was proud that day to be her sister! Congrats, Sterling! You’re an absolute beauty, both inside and out.
In case you’ve missed me…
The past couple months, I’ve been busy giving birth and seeing family tie the knot. Here are some pics of the baby. Wedding pics coming soon.
Here’s my timeline of birth:
- Woke up at 4:19am with first contraction. It was a hefty one, but I didn’t want to take chances that the labors were false. So, I gave it a little bit. The contractions were solid but no regular intervals.
- 5:30 called my parents who were staying in town to come to our house.
- 5:45ish left for the hospital. Contractions were pretty intense. Got closer together on the drive to the hospital.
- 6:05 made it to labor and delivery area of the hospital–Answered all the questions, etc, during contractions.
- I was taken back to the room. I asked for epidural but was told there may not be time.
- Got on the bed; was checked by a nurse and I was 8 cm dilated. Contractions fierce and regular–about every 2 minutes.
- Said not-nice things to Michael about “no more kids!”
- Asked for an epidural. Was told they were doing their best, but couldn’t guarantee one.
- 6:35 ish–Cleared for ‘trial push.’ Gave 2 more, and out he came!
- 6:40 I became mom of 2.
I’ve been loving the transition, but I’m just curious…For any moms of 2 or more out there…how do you find time to eat, sleep, shower, clean, cook, and most importantly BLOG?!?!?!?!?! I’ll be back soon with my gorgeous sister’s wedding pics!
Holiday Tech Makeover Entry
‘Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house,
not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse (computer, that is.)
The stockings weren’t hung by the chimney with care,
Because this scatterbrained mother had pulled out her hair.
Children were running amuck in the house;
Visions of peace, long ago doused.
For mamma had tried to get organized
But ancient technology made her cross-eyed.
When out of the router arose such a clatter,
It took infinity to upload her matter.
Her darn dang computer started to smoke,
And tears and cursing it finally provoked.
Away to the computer she ran like a flash,
To http://bit.ly/BDIntelGive & http://intel.ly/IntelSite she went for new stash!
With a stroke of luck, so lively and quick,
She hoped and prayed that she would be picked!
Now Facebook! Now BlogFrog! Now Blissful! Now Twitter!
Now Tumblr! Now Google! Now LinkedIn! Now Flickr!
Her technology makeover helped her organize life
And her lagging computer was no longer her strife.
She sprang to her kids, got them straight into bed,
And hung all the stockings, the green and the red.
Her life became ordered; she often would yell
“Merry Christmas to all, and THANK YOU, Intel!”
