does it get any sweeter?

we just got a new point and shoot digital camera. it is what we are asking our folks to contribute to for christmas but decided to get it early just in case segundo decided to make an early appearance. our current camera was on its last leg....the display finally went out this past weekend. we really could not wait until after the holidays to get a new one. it was time anyway. it was a hand-me-down camera that was probably three years old when we got it two years ago. so, we were due for a new camera. but don't get me wrong, we are still saving up for an SLR....my dream digital camera...okay NOT my dream version cuz that would cost us over a thousand, but a beginner version of that. john was playing with the settings last night and took this picture in the pitch black. impressive.

side note, we were going to ditch the pacifier come november 1st. we didn't. i think john was out of town and then micah got sick and then we just forgot to toss the thing. i think we are going to wait for segundo's arrival then toss the bad boy come the 2nd birthday. what a fun party treat that will be :) blankie - well for all i care he could be thirty-five and still have it....then it will be his wife's issue to deal with. at least i was smart enough to get a second one. he never knows it is missing! of course, i can't take credit for that brilliant idea....other moms before me gave me that tip.

one more side note....two weeks from yesterday is when my mom flies in to help with the baby.....or wait for the baby with us. we are getting closer. not sure i am ready now, but i think by the time my mom comes, i will be.

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...
