@Wildfire: im doing well. Well for having been in a hospital for a week and now a NICU mom.
Dust has settled. So yeah. I won't be home for a few weeks.
Oh my gosh everyone's avatars are beautiful!

Happy Almost Birthday!!! <3
I am also a long-time avi site user. Gaia being my first homeplace online. :d
@Wildfire: your dad sounds old-fashioned.
I had a step-dad that assumed the only way I'd be happy in life is if I married a wealthy man who didn't mind my quirks. XD He was an old guy. My mom married him just as he retired. They finally divorced after many, many years of unhappiness. XD

I'm having another lazy day. =3= I don't want another lazy day... but it is what it is.
yay new orbs! :DD
@Wildfire: My mom's side was a very "must have kids" mentality. Cultish-Christian types.
I don't talk to that side of the family.
I've had a few cousins reach out wondering who I am and how I'm related. Which is expected when I have some 50 or 60 cousins on just that side. /shudders/

I never really felt the need to have kids. I'm glad we chose the route of being parents. :d It's really enriching.
I live by Kids circle our lives, we don't circle theirs. Does that make sense?
Sounds like we think very similarly as parents. lol. :3
@Wildfire: I grew up watching my mom's side of the family pop-out babies like it was still the 1800s. "So and So just had another baby.. that makes this one her 9th baby and about 10 months younger than the last" Maybe that stripped the 'specialness' from being pregnant. -shrugs-
Or I just prefer toddler ages and up. pregnancy and babies aren't my favorite part of having children. :d
Posted in Spring is comin' Posted 3 years ago
I'd really like steady spring weather. We've had 2 false springs this winter that has really thrown me off.
I want to get my hands dirty and plant seeds and not worry about them freezing up or tipping over from winter winds.
I'll join you in making a spring-themed avi in a week or so. C: <3
@Wildfire: I'm glad we both had a rest-day yesterday. :3
I don't appreciate being pregnant like most ladies. lol.
I had one mom a few days back say something like "If this is your last one, you're probably savoring every little kick. Being pregnant is such a gift" and I must have looked dumbfounded because she then asked, "are you planning on having another ?" I just replied. "no.. no probably not."
CX
I'm not savoring every little kick, I'm shoving a bony finger into my ribs to move the tiny foot that's making me uncomfortable. XD
@Wildfire: Good Morning.
I totally lazied around yesterday. I didn't accomplish anything aside from making dinner.
I'm holding up okay, I'm getting gradually more anxious with each day. I do have an appt on Wednesday and that'll tell me if I'm fretting over nothing or not.
I didn't make it this far with my son, so all these 3rd-trimester side effects are new to me.
My uterus can't decide if it's going under my ribs or over them and that's super uncomfy. =3=
His feet are up in my ribs now, so I can literally take my fingers and push his tiny feet off my ribs. Cx

anywho, good morning, I'm making a cup of coffee and getting kids ready to do school today.

I totally forgot.
Thank you for the reminder!
@Wildfire: good Morning.
I've been trying to go to sleep earlier because I always wake up early. I need extra hours of sleep, especially since I wake up at night pretty frequently now.
Have you checked your garden yet?

We're having an overcast day, the weather looks crappy. I think we'll get some rain today too. Which we need. It's been a pretty dry winter.
@Wildfire: lol! I wish I could just send you a video tour of my boxes and cluttered surfaces. The space next to my computer is my own mess, papers n' whatnot.
I've got a donation bin obnoxiously placed in the hallway [we all have to walk around] and it's been there for months now. It's full and even collected bags of clothes. o3o Maybe I'll actually donate the stuff today. <.< hmmm
Then I got dog bins stacked in one corner next to their food dishes and kids' school table is cluttered because they just throw paper on it. =3=

I fell asleep around 7:30-8pm, woke up at 3. fell back asleep around 5 and now I'm awake at 7:30am. I slept well. Just got my normal pregnancy and delivery dreams.
We have a nice cheery morning so far. :3 Sun is out for now. I got plans to go store-perusing with my roommate.
@Wildfire: Uhg! We struggle with the same thingggg! -flops-
The other night when I cleaned the kitchen, I watched my husband dump his work stuff on the empty tabletop and I must've looked at him with a murderous intent because he moved half of it on the floor. =_=

I went to an appointment today to get an ear infection checked out. But the doc thinks it might actually be stuffy allergy issues.
