dinner and doing too much


micah is definitely taking more to asher these days. this morning went and got asher's pacifier when he would not stop crying...what a sweet big brother (literally - HA!)

thursday i walked home from the pediatricians office. that was okay. at one point i was going to wait for the bus and sat down for awhile, but it was getting cold....so, i walked the rest of the way home..... still okay.

then, i helped make dinner. roast pork and vinegar and bay leaves (page 419 - for those who have missed the occasional cooking from marcella hazan's book).... i was skeptical because of the way the vinegar burned my eyes when i went to turn the tenderloin half way through cooking, yet i was nicely surprised. it was tender & tasty. the plan is to use the left overs for salad today. then i whipped together a risotto with parmesan cheese. it was an effort to impress my mother with my culinary skills...but i stood too long. silly me.

yesterday, i walked home from getting my hair done and then thought it would be a good idea to use the borrowed car to hit the nice grocery store in red hook - FAIRWAY!!!! what a fun trip until about half way through i realized i didn't really want to be standing anymore. by last night i was on the couch and seated for the rest of the night. i even woke up sore again this morning. the body has an amazing way of letting you know when you have pushed it just a bit too far. we are staying home today.

Oh my lands! Your boys look just alike! Too cute! I was wondering to myself...how does one take a newborn and a young child to the doctor in the city! Of course...you walk, or take the bus! We who live in the suburbs are such wusses...we drive our all over and walk 10 feet to the store! Be sure to give yourself time sweet friend! MUAH! xooxox P

and we will be out numbered....

as of monday, i am through my first trimester with sweet baby #3. the sweet children will out number the adults come the beginning of march. as john likes to comment about my day to day coping skills, "her body is betraying her" as i adjust to pregnancy and surviving with two small children. i still can't find our flash drive to upload pictures....i'll work on it. it requires clearing off the computer desk which exists in the middle of the living room due to the plaster/drywall work being done to patch up the hole from the toilet leak. supposedly the new hardwood floors are supposed to arrive this week.....which means we could potentially move out of the office and back into our bedroom in a couple of weeks!!! the small pleasures in life!

more tidbits

i find it interesting....... .......how the two boys are in sync already. apparently we had not weathered the worst of operation big boy-no paci....he cried for almost an hour. what we thought would be an early bedtime was not....then asher (who was supposed to sleep until 2) woke up at midnight only to be followed by big brother 10 minutes later "scared." .......how 20 & 30 years olds (including myself) walk around the locker room delicately covered up by the towel that is slightly too small to cover my rumpus..... and yet the 50 & 60 years old strut around with no shame. nora ephron claims that the things that we things we hate about out bodies in our 20s will be the things we long for in our 50s. funny how that works...maybe i'll lose my abandon and sit in the sauna naked as a jaybird..... naw!!! .......how fun sitting on the kitchen counter while daddy cooks is for a two year old. .......how much i want to cut my hair. .......how excited i am to have gott...
