A BOY IS

TRUTH with dirt on his face,

BEAUTY with a cut on his finger,

WISDOM with bubble gum in his hair,

and theHOPE of the future with a
frog in his pocket.

LITTLE GIRLS

Little girls are made of daisies and butterflies and soft kitty cat purrs

And all the precious memories of times that once were.

Little girls are made of angel's wings and giggles and a firefly's glow

And all the happy feelings, deep inside, that we all know.

Little girls are made of cinnamon and bubbles and fancy white pearls

And snowflakes and rainbows and ballerina twirls.

Little girls are made of sunshine and cupcakes and fresh morning dew,

And these are the reasons, little one, why everyone loves you.

26 weeks

Yesterday was my 26 week appt.

0 lbs gained.
Protein in my urine
Slightly elevated blood pressure.

The Dr. didn't seem worried. The blood pressure was only slightly up and he says everyone has elevated protein first thing in am if they don't drink enough water - I had only had 1/4 of my bottle of water on the way in. I had an 8:30am appt and hadn't even gotten breakfast - just got the kids fed and out the door and jumped in the burb and left. Plus no weight gain.

I blame the blood pressure on all the bills pouring in from our broken arm incident - seriously I think if anyone just said hi to us they billed us :(

I hate bills. Maybe I should have this baby at home - I could save a bundle! - ok not really I would be TERRIFIED to do that!

The bills are no fun at all, but I agree-- I am way too terrified to give birth at home!! Things have been tricky enough at the hospital. Besides the fact that I am a wimp when it comes to pain.
