Natalie's Teeth

Natalie has lost 2 teeth thus far. She can even tell you the EXACT dates that she lost them. The first one was December 18th, the last day of school before the Christmas Break let out. The second one was in February. You have never seen a girl so excited to lose teeth. So excited and so proud. She tells me daily how she has a new one that is wiggly. I try not to crush her feelings, when in reality they are not wiggly at all. I just agree to see her face light up. (!)

My Abundant Belly

I am definitely to the 'uncomfortable' stage of this pregnancy. Sitting, standing, you name it and after 5 minutes I am WAY uncomfortable. Laying down on my left side is the most comfortable thing...until I have to get up. That is when I feel a bit like a turtle stuck on my back. My abs can only help minimally to get me rolled successfully out of bed. It does not sound like a pretty picture and I can assure you that it isn't. The other sad sight is when I am sitting on the floor and the phone rings. I frantically look around for something to grab to help pull me up. If there is not anything available, then I have to roll over to my knees and start scrambling. It takes a full 5 rings for me to ~maybe~ get to the phone before it goes to voicemail. Wow, I have turned into a sore sight to see.

GOING BONKERS

No, I am not really 'Going Bonkers'. (Not yet, anyways!) We tried out a new fun place in Lewisville with that name. Let me tell you, with as many people that were there, it would have been easy to go bonkers. I have not seen that many people concentrated in one place in a long time. Kind of like Chuck E. Cheese, but much more open and much more tolerable. (Different clientele)

I planned a playdate there with Lindsey and her crew of 3: Jack, Julia and George. It's funny, our kids do not really play together, but it gives us plenty of time to chit-chat in and amongst handling minor tragedies with our children. After 3 hours, though, I was ready to get in the car and listen to some silence. This is quite a feat with 3 chatterboxes that are never shy on questions. I really try to answer all their questions, but sometimes I do NOT know the answer to all 82 questions about lightening!
