Picture update

YaY!  I found out what I was doing wrong.  Here come the pictures......

Pictures????

I know I don't know much about blogging. I hope this isn't a dumb question....but what happened to the link that let me add pictures to my blog? If anyone can help me out I would very much appreciate it.

Oh BOY oh BOY! It's a BOY

Congrats to the 12 voters that picked correctly. You now hold the title of Best Baby Sex guessers. Lucky ducks. I wasn't a winner. In fact Rocky and I were 97% sure that this little one was a girl. We were totally surprised yesterday at the Dr. Office when she found protruding parts. Boy parts. We are thrilled. We would have been happy with a boy or girl, anything else would not have made us happy. So needless to say, we left happy.

Now onto the name game. This is hard. I had my girl's name all picked out. For those of you who know what it is....dubs....I still want it.

I would love any boy name suggestions.

Its a.......BABY!!!

We are expecting a new little one on March 22nd and are so excited. We find out next month what the sex of the baby is. I was almost ready to beg the Dr. to take a quick peak yesterday at our appointment but decided against it after I had called the office 3 other times that week to verify that they would not be doing an ultrasound at the appointment. They seemed pretty firm on you must be at least 20 weeks. So the anticipation builds. We want to know what you think..... BOY or GIRL....vote on the side.


Also for all those with pregnancy experience, here are some of my questions:

1- What do I do for these belly itches?
2- Can I prevent stretch marks?
3- What are your favorite baby products?
4- What is some new parent baby advice?

Jury Duty

I first of all want to thank Franklin county for summoning me to Jury Duty. I was reluctant at first, then a little excited, and then well it was Jury Duty and usually when you mention that people cringe.

I think I may have been the only Juror that did not get called into court, I did not even get interviewed (I have my suspicions about that). I showed up everyday with a couple books, my ipod and some snacks. I'd head up to the quite room, snag my couch, stick in the ear buds and start reading. Sometimes if I was tired because you know, a lot of reading and lounging can sometimes do that, I would take a nap. It was a very nice and relaxing break. I didn't have to get up early because Jury Duty doesn't start until 9, at 12:00 we were dismissed for an hour and a half lunch break and then usually by 2 (if not earlier) the Jury pool was sent home. **Sigh** It was wonderful.

As they dismissed us today they talked about how we should have a different view of court and its system. I totally do and if that is all Jury Duty is cracked up to be sign me up on a monthly basis. I've got a lot more books to read.

Oops

Tonight while walking I saw this huge pregnant dog. I mean it looked like she could pop at any moment. So I asked the owner when she was due. I was informed that it was actually a HE with a huge growth....which is supposed to explain the nipple looking thing. It was uncomfortable, embarrassing and you know just weird. Fortunately the dog didn't seem bothered by my mistake. Whew.

The joy of siblings

I believe this is how I felt when my younger sister came along. (Thanks to the wonderful friend who put this on her blog! I loved it so much I had to share)




No hard feelings Jacks

Bears in the Pool, Oh My!

Really its Bair, but Bear sounded a little more dramatic as a title. My sister and her kiddy's came to visit a couple weeks ago. My sister called when she was about a half hour away giving Rocky some instructions for when they got here, her son had just thrown up all over and it was getting a little chaotic in the car. Rocky and I were making fajitas at the time for dinner so this was a little unsettling for me. I don't do well with throw up. Well they got here and we got everyone/thing cleaned up. We settled down to eat dinner and Carson who said he was feeling better wasn't and threw up again. I had to eat my dinner outside. (note to all future babies, Momma doens't like the chunks so keep'em down.)

The next day was much better for Carson. We had planned on going to the pool but it rained pretty much the whole day. We made it to a park during one of the breaks and decided to go to a movie when it just wasn't letting up, when we came out of the movie it was nice and sunny and so we got to go to the pool for a little bit.

Crazy Carson....no testing the waters, he just jumped right in and then continued to jump.

Getting some big air.

Snape, Snape Severous Snape

We have some awesome friends who really know how to throw a themed party. Most recently it was a Harry Potter party in honor of the new movie coming out. Here are some pictures from the party. Rocky went as Snape and I was Hermione. Rocky likes to really get into his character. He spent a good amount of time trying to talk like Snape....it...uh...didn't work but I think he did all right over all. He won best costume. (Heather I hope it was okay to use some of your pictures)

The Group

Bad Apple

Well I'm sad to say that we have had another death in our electronics family. My little Mac Mini, The Lady, has passed to the broken computer world. I feel it was premature, she was only 1 yr and a few months old. Just a toddler.

Now I'm undecided about what to do. In the past 4 months we have had TWO bad "apple" experiences. Should I count my ipod that died only after 2 yrs of owning it? Maybe instead of three I'll go with 2 and 1/2 bad "apples." All in all this is not a good track record for Apple with the Wrights.

So do I give Apple one more chance? Do I risk another failure? Any thoughts?

Cankle 09'

I rolled my ankle this week playing basketball, it turned into a cankle.

cankles

n. 1) An aesthetically unfortunate physiological condition which leaves its victims with no discernable narrowing of the ankle between the calf and the foot. 2) An ankle which has no discernable narrowing from the calf to the foot. History: The word is derived a combination of the words calf and ankle. Victims of this condition are advised to avoid the following: ankle boots, ankle-strap shoes, anklets, ankle socks, ankle tattoos, high-top shoes, and any other footwear or legwear that might draw attention to the cankle region.

There goes all my outfit plans for the week.

**note to the basketball girls....I found my ankles braces!
