Today we did our errands, returned the "Lost" dvd's- luckily I just hopped out of the car. Then we were off on a search for a breast-feeding "shaw" basically a piece of fabric that helps me not expose myself to the world when breastfeeding in public. I refuse to pay retail for something now, that just means I have to travel to several different resale shop: First- its Pumpkin Patch- no luck, didn't even find any cloth diaper inserts. Then it was off to Rock-a-bye Kids- had never been and its across from work. I loved the store!! There was a play area for Nick to hang out so I didn't have to worry about him when I was browsing. I found the L'oved Baby shaw 2 for 19.99- I hope it works well. Nick was not ready to leave but there was a "treasure" chest for him to pick out a prize from and that got him out of the play area and back to the car with the "happy meal" toy- not that we need another but bribery works!! We were back in the car and Noah only cried twice for less than 2 min. I then decided that we should go home......maybe pick up McDonald's first, so the we are home and Noah is starving, have to nurse him before I can eat. Nick is very happy with his chicken nuggets and doesn't throw a fit when he realizes I can't get up to get his ketchup, he waits patiently and eats and is thankful when I do get him his ketchup. What a good boy he is today. : ) Dad's working late tonight so mom doesn't have to make dinner, Nick falls asleep early 6:30pm, he played on the deck for about 30 min. and Noah has a hard time falling asleep..........then I check his log and realize maybe he needed more food. Opps. bad mommy. So tomorrow is another day and maybe it will me more like the electric slide than the hustle. Maybe it's not the end of the day........Is that Noah I hear??? 8:41pm. accomplised: nursing shaw, returned dvd's, dishes, one load of laundry, picked up toys -then more apear..., talked to the College Network people and make an appointment, email buyer of xsm cloth diapers- going to make $10!!, talked to Kim about "Sex in the City" movie , talked to Tara about not running low on gas, talked to Evelyn about picking up an AM shift every week, talked to Dr.Bowden's office 3 times about insurance, AFLAC medical reimbursement

Today is the first day of my third trimester, having my 3rd baby, 3rd boy. All of these threes....... does it mean something? I am hoping it means something more special than increased back pain, increased fatigue and increased toy trucks. I hope it means 3 times more fun, more love and more kisses. It probably means both list, take the good with the bad. I do realized however that I will never have to share my throne with anyone else and that because I am the only female (both our dog and cat are male) in the house that makes me a little more special to everyone of these males in my life, that makes me tingle inside.

I was just thinking that as an elementary/junior high school kid I always kept a diary or notebooks- that friends and I wrote back and forth in as a way to remember what was happening; I threw them all away just after the birth of my first son (I was 18) was born because I thought I needed to grow up and get rid of all that "kid" stuff. Now of course I regret it.
So, I have decided to start a blog and document my and my family/friends life here so that I will have this to remember these moments later. This is just a mom with her stories and ideas. !
