Is it wrong...

a) my newborn's furrowed brow reminds me of the guy above?

Hate to break it to you kid....

So I am feeding the baby and Beanie comes up to me and asks, "When is she going to turn into a butterfly?" They've been reading about the life cycle of the caterpillar recently....I guess baby reminds her of a fat little caterpillar!! I had to explain that the baby would be around for a long long time....and will only grow up to be a big girl...not a butterfly! : )

The wisdom of children

The Conqueror's fear of all things thunder has returned recently with the onset of tornado weather. Last week we were checking the weather and severe storms were scheduled for Good Friday. He saw the little pictures on weather.com and immediately started getting worried. I tried to play it off that it always gets rainy and dark on Good Friday because it is the day that Jesus died. He then responded "Yes, it probably represents the darkness of sin."

She's here!!!

We'll just call her baby for now! The kids immediately wanted to know if they could call her Bucky. I explained that she didn't even have teeth....the response..."Well, can we call her Bucky when she's grown up?" Ask your father.

I think it was all about the alliteration...Biki, Beanie, Bucky.

Walking Time Bomb

Ok, I know my due date is wrong, but there's still something annoying about being overdue. I am really waddling right now and the constant Braxton Hicks slow me down quite a bit at times. This results in a lot of comments from passersby. Just a few since Friday:

- The "have you had the baby yet" phone calls. Or having to preface every phone call I make with a "No, I'm not in labor" as the voice on the other line gets overly excited when they realize its me.

-Cleaning lady at the hospital on Friday: "Honey when are you due?" as I walk into the loo. "Today!" I replied as I waddled in. After a few minutes I hear a voice outside the stall- "You ok? I didn't want to leave a lady alone who was overdue!!!" Mortifying.

- On the riverwalk the other day as I sauntered along "You gonna make it?"

-People at church asking me when I am due and having to reply either today, yesterday, or two days ago and then their eyes widen as they walk away. They seriously look at me like I am going to explode.

-Running into my doctor at church as I waddle to the confession line only to have him laugh and look at his watch. ARGH!! Yeah, yeah see you Wednesday.

My son!

Overheard in the other room:

A large crash. The huge bin of 80 million lego pieces is tipped over by an offending sister.

The Conqueror's response: "You are sooooooooooooooooooo going to pick that up!"

Why every woman needs a daughter....

Biki isn't a morning person. The other day she came downstairs at 7:10am bleary eyed and scowling only to erupt in a huge smile.

"Mom!!! Are those new shoes? Those are so cute! I have never seen them before!"

Gotta love it. It was indeed my first time wearing them....they had been up on the shelf of my closet for a few weeks.
