Wow. Actually slept pretty good last night... but I have to find out if
he's big enough to sleep 4 hours now... 'cause he did.
Right next to me....
Honestly, is there anything sweeter than a baby? I don't think so.

Now, the rules about frist and lsat:
* chronological... last post before midnight is lsat
first post after midnight is frist
and then the first post in a new blog is frist
Josh does have a time zone advantage on us, but we get to live in Texas... give the guy some slack
goodmorning jess. how are you this morning? Thanks for the pics. They are perfect. Should be ready by Sunday. I think you are going to love it.
And, jess, there isn't a thing in this whole world that is sweeter than a baby. I was showing his pictures to my sister Jeanne and It was funny how she ooohed and ahhhed and almost cried over him and she doesn't even know him or the miricle he is. I look at my babies and I think about how they are mirrors of heaven. I delight in them. God's wonderful blessings!
We could just annex Washington...
Terri-
he sleeps here too... we could probably fit R2 also... we don't take up much room
got my follow up appointment today. I won't let you guys know how my internals are... YAY!
Terri or Beebow,
I seemed to have misplaced my daily reading plan. Can you tell me what today's reading is. I know we finished Genesis, so where do we go?
JD,
One of my children brought home a Tyco R/C controller from Garett's B-Day party. I will try to remember to give it to Sharon.
Sharon,
Please ask me for it on Sunday.
I like this blog thing where you can leave messages for multiple people at one time.
I would like to comment on the bubble bath thing.
I have seen and heard of some of the Manliest men I have ever met taking bubble baths secretly.
I will not expose these he-mans of the bubbles, but you would be surprised.
Also,
I would like to reveal Beebow's secret to being lsat to the morning and day blogger set. Beebow watches late night sitcoms. That is how she stays awake.
You can ask her anything you want about
Three's Company
Everybody Loves Raymond
3 Guys and girl and a pizza place
or
Dharma and Greg.
She is not really napping to prepare.
She is a couch waiter.
Don hasnt seen her in bed for 6 months.
Hey, I liked the purple rose. Bring that one back.
Jess,
Did you forget about the Anon vote?
Does anyone ever think what I think, that they have ever frozen the blog? Like everyone is at work or wherever and when they read your comments they just go. "Hmmm" and go back to whatever they were doing waiting for something more earth-shaking to comment on.
Must be the ice cream
Georgia, I am not watching tv. I dont have one, don and i spend our evenings acting out sitcoms like laurel and hardy, i love lucy(ricky), and sometimes we do movies such as journey to the center of the earth (you should see the huge hole in our back yard). Once in a while we do a reality show and its called "How many side jobs can we do in one week besides our normal jobs?" When we do that show we then spend our evenings catching up on our reading, housework, laundry or just catching up on conversation. Thus, before I go to bed I get on blog to read the days puns. There you have it! The Don and Brenda Show.
I LOVE YOU PEOPLE!!!
Georgia, you still there?
Beebow?
Georgia - I think the same think some times..... but know this, my child..... you are never out of My mind, says the Lord of hosts!
I truly crave your entrances into blogville, jeirogia..... and your comments aer my favorite!!!!!!!!
We're all on here at different times....... and sometimes we just can't get it together......
but........ WE IS ALL FAM!!!
(I hope I'm accepted.... you know since I just kinda voyeured into this thing without a formal in VITE)
Nonetheless, I know we are all children of the same FATHER so, therefore.....
HERE I IS...
and THERE you IS!
Thank you mamapc!
I take back my previous charges against Beebow and her late night meanderings. I am so blown away by what really happens!
Can you please video some of this for us to see?
Laurel and Hardy??!!!
Journey to the Center of the Earth?
Wow! and I thought my life was exciting?
Mamapc, you are welcome here. I think we all kind of wandered in here.
Bee boe
I thinkst you are my hero
... to haev your own show, there in your own livin' room...... just makes me kinda salivate......
Me and Papa JC have our own talk show........ and it can occur all over the house..... he talks and I listen (most of the time)..... until I tell him to please stop..... TOO MUCH INPUT!!!
Yeah, I can see you playing Ricky and Lucy..... you and your man.....
Me and Sharon S are Lucy and Ethel...
Me and my man don't watch sitcoms eitha....... too UNGodly.... why would Godly people want to fill their minds with UNGODly situations and think it comical???
We watch some t.v. - but have always tried to watch the eye/ear gates for trespassers...
SIVAD - Have I ever told you that I like you and wish we had a few more moments to spend talking and getting to know one another?
You'll have to give me info about Washington and/or Oregon.....since I'm trying to plan a surprise trip there..... (don't say anything to papa jc right now)
"i have no recollection of the charges in question"
I never had sexual relations with that woman.
I love my wife.
I wish my country the best.
I want my wife to be president
I want my wife to be senator.
Especially Ricky and Lucy.
Georgial, please!!!!!
Annex Washington...sounds like a plan.
I like the annex Washington idea. Then Josh and Shannon would still be in Texas.
weirddd goerlsia, we're thinknig along the same lines...... at the same exact minute.. (see prev 2 posts...)
(when one mis-pronunces anotha's name, that shows affection...)
Terri, I liked the purple rose...
Purple was my favorite color until about 10 years ago.
AT that time I had a secret sister (never did reveal who she was) who had heard that purple was my favorite color...and she really OVERDID it!!!)
I sick-a poy-pul now...
but that rose was poy-itty
who's barbara (if you don't mind me asking)
glad you're home.
i was praying for you this a.m.
oh, i know barbara - she used to work with Lindsey at the doc's office...
well, you have a great day!!!
i'm glad you took off a bit today......
and that your house sparkles......
to have a clean/organized house is one of a woman's most important needs....... especially with soon-impending birth of a baby...
and don't be surprised if you don't bounce back as quickly after c-section..... i'm not trying to disappoint you, just help you with the reality of this surgery.
it's not horrible......just not the same or as quick as after normal birth......
but you will do fine...
i pray for people at the oddest times and mostly while i sleep
you should felt what i felt at the movie theatre a couple saturdays ago...
i had an immense desire to stand up pre-show and gather everyone together and just touch and bless them...... ALL OF THEM that were awaiting Narnia.......
I LOVE PEOPLE!!! and feel God's love toward them greatly
and the downside of c-sections
1)hormones didn't organize the birth like normal, so they can get kinda whopper-jawed.... evidenced by the time I slapped a doctor one day post-partum because he placed a cold stethoscope on my belly and when he asked if I ALWAYS acted that way after birthing..I told him I was just plain irritable and tense and in pain and angry with the roommate who was flaunting the fact that she had paid her bill in full and the hospital was going to give her a "free shrimp dinner" in reward...and who talked on the phone ALL THE TIME and never let me get any rest..... I WAS WEIRD!!!
that doc never did come see me again, but sent his assistant... they moved me to a private room.....thankfully, but then, in my strange pain-med delirium, I just knew they were locking me in there!!! They told me they wouldn't bring me my baby for that night..... so all night I was horrified to be thinknig that they were switching my baby with someone elses and wouldn't let me outta that dark room. I don't know where John was. That was a horrible night...... (Looking back now, they wouldn't have locked me in there..... and wouldn't have stolen my baby, Jeremiah.... but I had let one of those situation shows enter my mind (Knots Landing or Dallas in the '70's, where babies got switched or stolen) and the enemy really tried to harm my mind during that time when my hormones were all awack and pain meds were too strong...
just one of my many stories.....
prayers during the night...
about 10 years ago i kept thinking of a woman I used to attend church with as a teenager..... we didn't have much contact for years......but a friend and older sister in Christ....
i would think of her almost every night.......and pray.......feeling the strong and urgent need to pray for her......
i tried to call her, left messages, etc..... but no one would return my calls......
so, i kept praying as she came before me...
a year later, she called me and said she had gotten my messages and told me her story...
she had almost died from colon cancer and had been rushed to a special hospital in Dallas from Wichita Falls where we had known one another...... she had been in that Dallas hospital for months.....where her HUSBAND wouldn't even come visit her!!!!! She lives now and is doing well, and I hear from her every couple of years...... but, that one experience taught me that, no matter who "randomly" comes into my heart and mind..... that it's not random at all, but the Holy Spirit giving me the privilege to pray for them, intercede for them...and God will take care of them..... but He wants our involvement.....
WE ARE ALL LINKED TOGETHER IN HIM!!!
WAHOO
hormones
they just are...
God made our bodies to operate specially with his hormonal creativity.....
but, sometimes, especially when tired..... or if body is invaded or given too much of non-natural foods or meds or additives, the hormones get a little off balance.....
so we need to be aware and take care of ourselves...and realize that sometimes we just don't feel "right"......as women and mamas.....
and that at times, we just need to give ourselves times to rest and 'down time' so that all things can normalize...... especially those of us who do a lot and go all the time.....
it's okay to just rest...... we need to..... especially during these bonding times......and whenever we feel out of sorts.....
and things will always look better after a nap.......
I know you love your babies......
Have a wonderful days, all you mamas and girlies out there......
and the downside of c-sections
#2 when you nurse your baby after a c-section, you may experience incisional pain...
breastfeeding sets off a hormonal pathway that cues the uterus to contract.....called after-pains... this contracting is God given to save your life by keeping the uterus from bleeding....keeping the uterine lining tight...... so, these after-pains are good.....
but, the uterus is connected to the bladder, which is connected to the area where they cut through to get the baby out...so, if you're feeling a lot of pain in the bladder/abdominal incisional area.....be sure to mention it and get relief...... it sure did hurt for me..... BAD......
hey, but now there's hope..... that was 18 years ago before they had non-narcotic IV non-steroidal antiinflammatories.....like Toradol......which I've seen some OB surgeons give their post-c-section patients for the burning incisional pain....... they also give Motrin now (which they didn't long ago...) so you young mama's have it better than I did long ago after my c section.
I'm not trying to scare you AT ALL... just letting you know so that you will be aware and prepared and conscious of the fact that there might be more discomfort and tiredness but that you have it good, because of advances in medicine......
and, of course, YOU HAVE JAWEH on your side!!!!!!!!!
so, I will pray that your water will break the morning you are to go into labor so that your hormones will already be in action and that God will guide the hands and minds of the docs and all the nurses and your family who love you very much as you progress breezily through this wonderful wonderful leading episode of your life with Jenna...
Blessings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's okay, Terri. I will be fine if you dont switch.
I like grace, sounds good to me!
Looks pretty too.
Yahweh is for us!!! I was just thinking of that yesterday!
Must make lunch. No blackeyed peas today. My husband is afraid of the avocadoes now. He loves them, but he is dieting. He has lost like 20 pounds in the last couple of months. So he isnt even eating mayonnaise ( Which I cant live without)
mama pekee ; )
ya, so awesome when God puts someone on our heart..
i hope my baby latches on very quickly, even immediately!! : )
that's cute, terri: "come back!.."
sniff sniff
mmm
Hi! We're moving on Sat. My parents & 2 more men (my friend's husband & dad) are helping us move everything, so that is great!
Josh & I got a lot done last night.. filled a few boxes, took down pictures on the wall..
I'm feeling good! Just don't stand for long periods of time & when getting up in the morning, the hip I was laying on has some pinched nerves from the baby's weight.. painful to walk for the first 1/2 hour. But other than that, great!
Ya, it'll be special getting the baby's things all together. We'll be registering the 2 wks after the ultrasound.
hi, kat woman
OHH, katwoman, I just read about your hips, owie.
I was just writing about my own hip issues. Hope yours wasn't too bad!
why do you think rejected all week?
i've been asking about you.....and speaking to you in my lloooooooonnnnnnnng
blog posts
YOU ARE ACCEPTED AND LOVED AND REDEEMED AND WANTED......
helllooooo in Washington...
your baby will get the latch-on-itis before you know it....
kat - don't jump so high!!!
ewwwwwwwww a SPOONFUL of MAYO!!! yuk!
like my daddy and his 9 brothers used to always say.....
"MAYONNAISE IS SISSY MUSTARD!!!"
Hi, Katwoman!
I am so sorry to hear about your hips. I have problems with mine lots.
I love mayo on my french fries! I didnt know the french do that!
I feel guilty eating them like that because there are so many calories and people tend to look at me funny.
That is beautiful, Terri, I am sorry it was so much trouble. Can I steal it?
“MAYO IS SISSY KETCHUP.”
-What I would say to the French if I were President
Shannon
We have decided to annex Washington.
here's a principle i've learned...
if you feel rejection... operate in the opposite spirit - a spirit of acceptance.....and love...and seek out those who might also have rejection issues and LOVE LOVE LOVE on them.....
the enemy is out to harm us.....he is out to cut us off...... but, when those rejection feelings come, remind yourself that it's STUPID-DEVIL trying to distract you....
YOU ARE LOVED AND HUGGED UPON BY THE GREATEST KING AND DADDY EVER!!!! So who needs friends!!!
Who needs a blog response, right?
But they're fun and enjoyed and helpful......
So, know we all love you, Kat......
It seems like rejection is a big one in the church.
But it is just the devil
John Osteen used to say;
"It is just bald-headed little furry demons"
"You can just step on them"
Well, Georogos, now that I know you eat sissy mustard on your fries, i'll have to reconsider our friendship.....
LOL
If that is a contender you have lost the whole family.
My brother Bob eats a little hotdog on his mayonnaise sandwich.
When Jess was little one time, Bob came home and Jess threw herself in front of the refrigerator and yelled out " Oh, no! Hide the mayonnaise!"
Cool, Georgia.. I saw that you're glad it means we're part of your state again. : ) thanks! This annexing is fine as long as WA stays just as is & just where is.
hee hee
maybe we can connect a speed-of-light subway between the two locations.. and we wouldn't even feel our skin pull back (like some fast roller coasters)
so........ now, I wonder can we predict who eats mustard and who eats mayo???
hmmm
by the personality???
true, that rejection thing..
doubts of care..
No, we'd have to move it. Mountains and ocean and all. Maybe we could
I'm a mustard lover...... but occasionally dip into mayo so that I might know how the other half live......
Gerogk
how did Bob get so tall and you are so short?
Wanted to share some good news we’ve been sitting on for a week.
Boeing is setting me up to work virtual, from home, full-time!! I was supposed to only have to drive to Seattle for two weeks, then have a desk in Everett (north site). Long story short, there is no where for me to sit in Everett for certain reasons. SOO, Boeing is going install a dedicated business phone line at the duplex so employees can call me and I can call them and I’ll remote into the network on my company laptop.
We’re both very excited about it. I’ll get to see Shannon and the baby EVERYDAY when I take breaks and on lunch. It’s a HUGE blessing that they are trusting me with this. I thought I might be able to do this in the future, but didn’t expect it right away! I will be going to work sites for meetings and classes that I’ll be leading, but otherwise I’ll be at my home office everyday!!!
I think that was God's mercy. When he got taller I quit beating him up.
I have both usually.. sometimes just one or the other, depends on my tastebud moods.
One thing that bothers me though, is that mayo, mustard, & ketchup ALL have vinegar, leave my mouth feeling yucky afterwards..
you'll usually find me heading to brush my teeth shortly after a sandwich or burger, when it starts bothering me.
We need to come up with a condiment with NO VINEGAR!! why, oh, why do we put that nasty stuff in.. I mean Jesus didn't like it shoved in His mouth either. ; ) grin
well, katlady saunters in......meows about how we won't respond......then out again when we start communicatnig with her.......
hmmmm......
KATWOMAN....... HERE KITTY KITTY KIT.......
I had this long talk with him how we were getting more mature and didnt need to fight each other anymore and he agreed so placidly.
Really deep down inside I knew he could beat me up now and I was scared.
I think he still thinks I can beat him up.
that's soooo funny that Jess said that!
ama ama pacman--
iiii loooove youuuuu & missa you! thanks for your stories!
*pacwoman*
The really funny part about the Jess and Bob story is that Jess must have weighed all of 50 pounds and here Bob was at 175 sauntering in like a giant on his way to eat.
let me guess, by personality......
the mayonnaise-lovers among us are......
mama, terri, jess, katie, jakit, matt
and the mustard lovers are......
batman, daniel, jd, sd, mamapc, mama3...granny skunk
am i right?
You got Mama right.
Need to ask Jess.
what about josharoo, what's his pick?
Ok, so what kinds of personalities like mayonnaise?
mmmmmmmmm mustard and white bread sandwiches..... i practically raised myself on that as well, Terri!
I was a latchkey as well!! most of the time....... ate lots of white bread and mustard growing up......
now we know why the battle with weight.......
glad our kids were raised on more whole grains...... and veggies.....
Sooo, I's a thinkin' that in our rental house, the bathtub is brand new! Great for feeling like I'm in a clean environment for a BUBBLE BATH.. bring it on Mr. Bubble. I have some, he's been waiting.
katsup is not mustard or mayo......
who makes a sandwich and puts only katsup on it???
no, katsup is an "extra".....
who's for mustard, who's for mayo???
WE NEED A VOTE!!!
Julie, whenever you read this, glad your day is going well. Hope you begin labor the morning of the C also. Have fun holding Jenna when she gets here!!
once on a trip when i was a girl, my sister insisted on opening a box of Mr. Bubble in the back seat of our big car.....and the pink powder got all in her eyes and so now, everytime I think of Mr. Bubble, that story comes up in my mind.......
but, I've forgiven Mr. Bubble......
He's not that bad.......he's actually a very nice person.......
well, i must go and get some things done.....
there will be a bake sale at Leisure Lane to raise funds for the band Philadelphia for their recording they'll be doing first week of Feb in Portland....
the bake sale and concert is Friday night at Leisure lane.....not sure the time.....
also birthday party for Brian (don't tell him)
We're having a family dinner here tonight for we 5 C's......so, I have to get to baking and then cleaning and then cooking dinner......it's rare that we're all home at the same time...
AND, I have to get in bed by 9! so I can get up by 4:30 to go to work Friday. This new schedule is for the birds........
Don't they know I'm a night person???
Enough talk for me now.
Bloggers, chat on!!!
Love and hugs...
Ya? that's good you forgave him.. : )
Hmm, wonder what interesting things our children will do & surprise us with!
Well, I'm getting off here for now.
Lovin's*
S2-24 out
Mama Pc,
Did you get your invitation to the Quiet Places party at Debi Sparks house on Saturday? I REALLY hope you can make it. I always enjoy spending time with you. We really do have a great time and there are so many pretty and good smelling things to see and smell.
BATMAN is on my side...... too much mayo is barf-ciforous........
PAPA JC is a mayo man too......I guess opposites attract.......
My girls never had a bite of mayo on a sandwich until they were adults!!! :-) Hannah recently asked, "Mom, why didn't you ever make our sandwiches with mayo.....and then, "I kinda LIKE mayo on my sandwiches..." so.....
another one bites the dust... I mean, the mayo.....
MUSTARD REIGNS.........!!!
colonel mustard reigned in the crouse-children
*S2-24* really out now
Katwoman,
Do you think you can make the Quiet Places party this Saturday?
It seems like it has been forever since we have been able to just sit and talk.
MAMA3 i got the invite, but have plans for saturday. thanks. i always enjoy visiting with you too.
i'd like to look at the catalog....so bring me one sunday.....
okay...... i MUST(ard) get off......
shannon- remember, you're my niece...... what's your birthday???
