Still here. Food is horrible and so the nurses and some doctors I've gotten moved twice now. I guess thats the only way I get new sheets and a clean room around here. I'm so stressed out. I just want to go home. plus they keep taking my blood from my arm from different spots even when i'm sleeping and the first day I was here it took them 3 times to put an IV in my hand and it hurt so much.

This is me outside of the movie with a cardboard cut out of the movie. We saw cloudy with a chance of meatballs. See the monkey? He is my favorite character his name is Steve.

At the end of the Brownie meeting, it's time for the friendship squeeze!

It's not every day that you hear this question, "Mom, where's my hair?"

We had an evening of getting Nikki's hair "did."

Marla October 9, 2009

Eric and I got our flu shots today.

Jen October 8, 2009

boo I'm still here. 2nd dose of steroid for baby and they started me on magnesium. I feel horrible.

Cole October 8, 2009

I came to the pet store after karate and I went to see the fish. This one interested me the most.

Marla October 8, 2009

Got my teeth cleaned at the dentist office today.

The hallway leading to the PTO meeting tonight (and to Shelby's classroom during the day). I presented info about getting our school/district involved in the Scripps Spelling Bee tonight & finally found some enthusiasm for the whole idea. I'd been presenting it to various people in the district & in other schools in the district, for a month now & was about to give up altogether, since, so far, the best response I got was apathy. So, the enthusiasm & the 'go ahead & do it at this school' that I got tonight was nice to hear.

Madi got a surprise package in the mail today from Aunt Molly. Cockroaches! She was thrilled! Thanks, Molly, for that fun surprise! The package came in the morning, and I wanted Madi to wait until Nikki came home in the evening to open it. But I spent all day doing a Laura Petrie imitation - poking, shaking, squeezing the package, dying to know what was inside!

This is James 1st girlfriend. She loves hugging him and he like to hold her hand.
Also today I got admitted to the hospital to get steroids for the baby, and to stop my contractions.

Cole October 7, 2009

This is me trying to figure out what to request to FM 89.1. I ended up asking Alison to play Dance Dance by Fall out boy. It was the right decision.

Marla October 7, 2009

We had a really cute visitor at bowling tonight.

Maureen October 7, 2009

Apparently, I am on the 'Health and Wellness' committee at work. Today, three of us (Colleen had the day off) put together a bulletin board, mostly because the corporate bigwigs are coming to our office tomorrow & we wanted them to think we were on the ball with this whole company-wide 'Health and Wellness' initiative... My part was the lower right-hand corner, with info about the physical & emotional benefits of walking, along with info on local forest preserves & labyrinths.

Jen October 6, 2009

Did some more scrapbooking

Molly October 6, 2009

The fun never stops.

Marla October 6, 2009

I ran to Pheasant Run today to pick up some tickets for Cole and I to go see "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow". Does anyone want to go with us?

Margie October 6, 2009

Gabby and Bonnie, and Bonnie's son Jayden. Gabby spent the first 6 weeks of her life at Bonnie's house, and I took care of Bonnie and her sister Terry for years. They all came over for a visit tonight.

Family Reading Night put on by WeGo for Kids tonight. They had a bilingual storyteller there as a part of the evening. Shelby was a bit distracted during the performance. He & I ended up playing around with the camera a bit & got this extreme closeup shot. We think it looks like someone is inside of the computer, looking out at us :-)

Jen October 5, 2009

Today I went to the hospital due to contractions they had to give me an IV and a shot to stop the contractions. I hate IV's.
