another almost perfect day

i had a date with my new 5 year old.

we went and saw our first musical (off broadway).
101 dalmatians.
he loved it; i tolerated it.

he did not want to go back stage to meet our friend from the show.
he is 5 and was hungry: sushi.
in the city.
he ate half this plate.


the business lunch next to us thought he was a riot.


then, we got home.....
the perfect day was over....

scooter was stolen off stoop.
little bit wet his pants 2 feet from toilet.
sweet pea had a screaming fit - 102 fever.
she pooped in the bathtub three times.
we went to the school potluck.... it was the wrong night.
it was a poor end to a great day.

i am thankful for the my little man that is getting so big.

kathryn michelle (kate) sweet was born on friday, march 6 at 11:16pm. i had been to the hospital that morning for a non-stress test because my amniotic fluids were borderline low. they wanted to be cautious. i was told to go home but that i could go at anytime..... i was 3.5 cm and 50% effaced. i went home and had 4 ounces of castor oil. labor started for real 2 hours later...... we got to the hospital around 8 and were admitted. i started pushing around 10:50 and 25 minutes later she was out. it was hard and i asked for my epidural too late. whoops. we got to come home yesterday afternoon and start acclimating to life as a family of five. my mom flew in yesterday and is on boy duty. she has already done bath time, played hide and go seek, brushed teeth and changed diapers. sweet potato actually let me get a couple of straight hours of sleep last night and is doing great. they boys and mimi are off to the grocery to get us some food for the week. i am glad to be home!

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!

so, i guess we will find out! it is a girl... what on earth am i going to do with a girl? the parenting adventure continues..... i felt like it was a girl based on the difference of the pregnancy (still throwing up), but i think i assumed it would be another boy. we are thrilled and completely stumped on the idea of coming up with a girl name. completely!! don't get any ideas that she will have a name soon.
