**My month of April sucked. There is no sugar coating it. I was glad to see that the month of May had arrived. I was thinking like a clean slate and everything could resume "normal", or whatever the new normal could be. May 1st was good and has been good so far. Except for my allergies giving me trouble-again.
**Logging into Pinterest using Facebook should be a no no for me. I wasn't thinking when I logged into it on Wednesday that whatever I was pinning was showing up on Facebook boards. I haven't spilled the beans on Facebook to friends I don't talk to regularly, about the baby. I was waiting until next week after my 13 week ultrasound. I had no clue until I got to Miss K's school Thursday morning that several people saw what I was pinning. Whoops!
**I know that we're a LONG way off from knowing the sex of the baby, let alone needing a name for it. But I have been on the hunt for a few weeks. The hubs is soooooo picky. We agreed on a girl name, but he has not been in agreement on any boy name. The other problem. We know so many people now that we're on baby #3 and most of them have at least two children, so a lot of boy names are taken.
** I mentally decided what would be my favorite Mother's Day gift from my husband. I would like him to take the day off, and do everything I do the whole day. From making lunches, dressing kids, dropping kids off at school, picking up kids, lunch in between pickups for himself, homework, and dance class. While I get to sit and enjoy myself. :) Ah, one can dream, right?
**I uploaded my very own first pin last night! Miss K's school has been celebrating Teacher Appreciation Day all week and yesterday we presented her teacher with this homemade gift. I brainstormed from Pinterest and this is what I made! (except for the rubberbands) I'm so excited about this craft, after the response I have received from it. It really is flattering when other people like your work and want to copy it.

Naming kids is one of the funnest part of the whole pregnancy. I thoroughly enjoyed the process.
That gift you made for the teacher is FANTASTIC! Congratulations on your little lime!!!
congratulations on the new little one!
Congrats to your family on the upcoming addition.
" boy names are taken " - Last I checked names are used my many people at the same time. Yeah, I know you don't necessarily want the same name as a cousin but I really find the name dilemmas more intense and common than when my kids were born. I don't know why it's changed. I have a cousin with my first name and it was never an issue that I knew of.
I was a teacher and I would have LOVED getting that gift for TAW!!! Well - - - make the pencils Wisconsin Badger pencils and it would be even better. ;-)
I'll never forget the year my hubby AND SIL took NAPS on Mother's Day and left Daughter #1 and me to stay awake and run interference for our toddling grandson.
Yah - - - happy Mother's Day to us - - -
Flowers AND pencils...whimsical and practical, that's my kind of gift! i had all these crazy requirements for names... had to be three syllables with a one-syllable, four letter nickname... I guess it's good I stopped at two, because my name also meets said requirements and I would have started to run out!
I hear you on the names. Our last name is one syllable, so the name has to be at least two syllables. And the nickname cannot be something that could be turned into another name with our last name. It is frustrating. I wish I wasn' so particular. :)
Thank you! I was and am very proud of my gift! It was well received by many. :)
Sorry your Mother's Day that year wasn't what you expected.
You have made a very good point and I will be considering your take on this. Why should it matter? It is so true that generations ago, they didn't care what their friend was naming their baby. That explains why there are so many "Johns, Jasons, Mikes....etc." Big deal I say! As long as it's not family, the name is fair game!
Thank you!!!
Thank you!! :)
Thank you and thank you! I got to see the little lime yesterday! :) Ahhh.
It is fun and stressful. Wish it weren't so/ This baby might not have a name until they arrive. ;) Which is still ok with me.
My favorite when I was pregnant was when the pregnancy book I was reading said the baby was the size of a kumkwat. That nickname stuck for awhile. Wishing you a happy and healthy pregnancy.

I remember when it said kumkwat, haha! Reminded me of the chinese buffets I've eaten at, they always had them on the salad bar. :)
