The best thing about the #samesex #marriage #equality #rights debate that gives me hope for our future is that there is a debate.God is pro choice. He gives us freedom to go against His will. @BarackObama is right on, love like God. #samesex #marriage #equality #rightsRT @CBNProducers: Big news: The Daytime Emmy Award nominations have been announced, and Superbook (Huang Jianming, Managing... http://t.co/XVWLFANoAnd sucks, and stinks.
I have been hosting with them for years, and they have really gone down hill. I can’t afford to move my sites right now, so I have to suck it up, but DO NOT HOST WITH IXWEBHOSTING!!
I am warning you, IxWebhosting is NOT worth it.
Buyer beware, IxWebhosting is not a good deal!
Even their chat is bogus!!
Screw You IXWebhosting!
I promised I would post some pictures of the gifts from my baby shower. I’m not sure how interesting this is to everyone, so if you are bored out of your mind, I would probably skip this post. Wanting to share what I got, I decided to add pictures, so I don’t have a long list of stuff. Since the shower, I have gotten a lot more stuff, but this will keep you busy.
One of my daughter’s friends made this! It turned out beautiful!
This is a “quillo”–a quilt and a pillow. Handmade from Julie.
Ralph Lauren onesies–a little bigger, so the baby can grow into them. From my good friend Dorn. I love these!
This cute little outfit is from Gymboree. I got it from Beth. Her son has a matching one in blue. :)
Cute little socks from Victoria. I think I need to use some better adjectives other than “cute”, don’t you?
An adorable Piglet outfit! From Abigail.
A Christmas Dress–lined–from my friend Joy. She threw me the shower.
Classic Pooh wall hangings and a dust ruffle from Kathleen.
A bedroom set: Sheet, quilt, and bumper pad. All in classic Pooh. Thank you again, Dorn! I really, really wanted these!
Baskets for the changing table from Rachel and Theresa. I really, really wanted these too.
A lovely diaper bag from my friend Hope. It even attaches to a stroller! Lovely.
A bright Pooh lamp from Kerri and Cindy.
The other outfit from my sister Marrielin. It has a little pig on it. It makes me laugh.
That is all I am going to post for now. I have so much more stuff, but I’m not going to bore you with all the pictures again. I’ll just take a picture of Emily’s room and highlight some of the stuff I got. Hope you enjoyed looking at my bling. (or Emily’s bling, more accurately.)
I like you, really I do. Even though we have never met, and the only time I have smelled you is when I hit my head running backwards in gym class, I still like you becuase as far as I can tell everything I think I am is contained in you.
You are like my ziplock sandwich bag holding my peanut butter sandwich. Just don’t put oranges in another ziplock sandwich bag in a confined space becuase even though ziplock corp. claims the bags are airtight, it is impossible to miss the tangy acidic bite of orange bread and orange laced Jiff. Or Peter Pan. Or that huge tub you get when you are on welfare.
You are my brain, and I have learned to love you. Mostly because you control my emotions, so you pretty much force me to love you, you sick Stockholm Syndrome lover you.
I hate you brain. I take that back, I didn’t mean for my fingers to do that, sorry. jerk.
No, no, I meant jerk, like the rub you put on beef.
I love you brain.
Where would I be without you?
Probably in West Virginia, but I kid, I kid!
I would most likely be in North Dakota actually, because you can roam around there without a brain and be pretty much okay unless you run into Bison.
Well, not actually “run into them”, that would be weird, seeing as how they are much faster and would most likely not just stand there waiting for your drooling face to slap them in the flank.
You are my brain.
You are big an gray and keep me awake at night moving memories and making things appear that I have never seen.
You are my brain and I am scared of you.
Really, horribly, peeing my pants scared of you.
Big guy.
Filler of head.
Backer of eyes.
Producer of ear wax.
Skull candy.
You are my brain.
I am glad we had this talk.
That is the official birthday of our 3rd child. I will have a c-section at 11:30 and shortly after, we will have our new daughter. It is a Tuesday. That is in 3 weeks! They tell me I will be in the hospital for 48 hours to 72 hours. With my first two, I was in for 3 nights and 4 days–much better to recuperate. So I have major surgery and 2 days later, I’m out. I thought they were trying to keep moms in for longer these days, not push them out because of insurance money. Yeah, I’m complaining. Not like I enjoy being in the hospital, I just remember the pain and how it was easier after 3 days. But we will have a new daughter to look forward to, so I will concentrate on that instead of stupid medical ideas and insurance companies.
We have a few more things we need to get ready. I don’t have any wipes yet. I forgot about those things. I also need diapers and Desitin. There are a couple of things on my registry at Target that I still want/need, but can do without. I am trying to decide what outfit to bring her home in. I don’t remember it being a big deal with the first two, but for some reason, I want stuff to match.
I am just so excited to meet our girl. I think everyone is pretty excited. Sometimes David and I ask each other, “What were we thinking?!” We have only a short time with our older two and we would have been done. That is ok. I don’t know if I’m ready to have an empty nest just yet. I’ll let you know in a month. (ha, ha.) I can’t help but thinking how fast the time will go by with this one and I do want to be a mom still.
I’ll try to post more pictures tomorrow. In the meantime, you can go to David’s blog and see the picture of our oldest receiving an honor at church.
