Rare moments of the destructive and naughty

Tenderness

Treasuring a rare, quiet and tender moment of motherhood

Rare indeed. Most of our "moments" are filled with purposefully destructive and naughty behavior (at least where a certain 3 year old is involved). As evidenced:

Poor thing didn't even see it coming.

I refrained from yelling.

Kudos.

Mother's Day Funny!

Sitting at the dinner table only a few moments ago G-McBabe asked:

"Mom...is Dad your slave today?" (He he) M

e (Rob and I giggling): "No...he's my helper."

G-McBabe (looking perplexed): "Oh."

I'm sure in his very observant, very magnificent brain he is thinking they look to be one and the same. Awesome! Awesome!

A growth discovered....in my abdomen!

About 15 weeks ago my primary care physician discovered a somewhat parasitic growth in my abdomen. It was small...but growing rapidly.

She reassured me that these types of growths are rarely fatal and that everything would be fine but suggested I see a parasitic growth specialist to get another opinion.

I did just that.

The appointment went well. A lot of questions were answered and fears abated.

There are no immediate plans for removal but removal and/or passing of the growth is inevitable and should take place in the next 19-20 weeks.

It will be rather painful and will take a bit of recovery but I am confident I will bounce back from it in no time.


How do I know?


Because it has been that way every other time...


I have had a baby!


SURPRISE!


(By the way...we had our BIG ultrasound today...everything (that they could see) looks good. Wanna know the sex? TOO BAD! You only get one secret at a time. Yeah....I am that mean!)

UPDATE:  It's boy #4!!!!!
