One more picture before I have to go.
Leighanna riding the carousel with Dale, or is that Chip?
Chip has a Brown or chocolate chip colored nose.
Thanks!
We went back to the zoo today, and most of the kids with those kind of costumes weren't wearing the hoods.
I'm going to date myself here (especially for Jen, Jen, and Becky), but remember those Halloween costumes that used to come in a box? It was a plastic poncho with a mask. Oh, the good ole' days!
No. Are you watching the game now?I usually go the Target at SouthBay off the expressway. It can be a 10 minute drive from my office but if traffic is bad it can take 40+ minutes to get back to my office so I don't go too often for lunch and traffic would of course be bad after work so I never do that. The one closest to my house in this direction is 30+ miles away so I never go to that one. There was a rumor that they were going to put one in between my house & office but that building has been vacant for over a year.
you must not be too older than me because i remember those costumes. i remember star light costume vividly in my head even though i was never her.Thanks!

so cuteHere is something else my SIL made for Lizzy. Emma tried it on in 2006 but she thought it was more of a costume-not something she'd actually be seen out of the house in. I did use this dress to get her to wear a dress to church on Easter. "You have to wear a dress today. Do you want to wear the pink one or the white one."
this is just my thought. if your appointment is later in the day. go to work for a little bit and tell them i will help some to help get stuff done but i have to leave and can't come back till tomorrow. then you will have gone in and helped but also you will have the afternoon to relax some. hope this helps.Ok, I could use some advice....
I originally planned on taking off work tomorrow after the transfer. There aren't really any restrictions afterwards, because - if you think about it - nobody goes on bed rest after trying to make a baby the traditional way (EWWWW!) and these things are designed to work out without lying around. In fact, most research suggests not having actual bed rest.
Still, I planned to take off just because I canI was going to lightly clean the house, catch up on scrapping, etc. Just truly enjoy my day off, since Friday didn't count as one!
Then on Friday, we learned we have a huge audit starting Tuesday. We are absolutely not ready, because we were left high and dry by the director out on maternity leave. Now this audit is a) internal, and doesn't have true consequences except for preparation for state audits and b) can't be directly pinned on me since, though I do the work of 3 people, my actual job title has nothing to do with it and I was never actually told ANYTHING about it(honestly!)
Still, I said I'd work. I'm "allowed" working, I figured I'd work, and do what I can by way of last minute preparations. Mostly so my business partner (who IS responsible for his half of the audit) doesn't freak out.
Fast forward to today...
After talking with my doctor, he said I of course am allowed working. However, most people take off and rest -- for mostly psychological reasons, with a bit of real benefit thrown in.
AAGH! So now I'm worried. If this cycle doesn't work, I will undoubtedly look back on working (and in such a stressful situation, no less). At work tomorrow, I feel like I would be a basketcase trying not to stress out at all, thereby stressing myself out more!
If I don't work, though, I have to call my partner and tell him that. And deal with the possible fallout, guilt, etc.
Should I go in a half day? Go in early on Tuesday and try and be as ready as possible by 11am? Not sweat it at all?
What horrific timing, honestly!
Oh, my goodness!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just came over to say hi and found this fabulous, amazing news!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so happy for you all. Congratulations and best wishes. God bless you all!
Now take the countdown out of your signature. They are all going to be so jealous they weren't here for your wonderful delivery.
