New Ultrasound pics in Flickr. I’ve got one more “Model” Scan next week so the MIL and FIL can see the baby and then we’ll stop. Our Center only does first trimester scans as a rule so we won’t save any scans much father into the second trimester. Doesn’t mean I don’t get to look though.
You know I think that the term SPAM is too generous for internet junk. I’d rather have a can of Something Posing As Meat than the junk encouraging me to increase the size of my penis or further my career with their fake products.
This morning I woke up to 294 spam comments in my blog’s “waiting to be approved” list.
Now don’t get me started on the Cialis commercials during football. Why does my 10 year old daughter need to know about erectile disfunction?
Seven amazing or interesting facts about myself:
How about the answers to the seven questions I get asked most these days:
1. I am feeling better. I had nausea 24/7 for a few weeks but that is passing. Nausea is still come and go. I didn’t know how fatigued I was until I started getting a bit of my energy back. It’s nice to not want to sleep ALL the time.
2. I have performed an ultrasound on myself. I peaked many times when I was waiting to see that heartbeat. The pictures that I have posted on my Flickr account were all taken either by Diane or Debbie, the two other nurses at the center. **All of the ultrasounds I have done on myself have been abdominal**
3. Since I can look myself I expect that we will find out the gender of the baby. It is too early to see now however.
4. We have a boy name already but we won’t tell. We like to keep something a secret. I think we won’t talk about girl names until the possible event that we find out its a girl.
5. Anyone who knew me when I was pregnant before doesn’t ask, but I am amazed how often the question comes up. I have NO trouble gaining plenty of weight while I am pregnant, thank you very much. Why do they ask me that? And no, my babies are not small. The 3 that came at term were all solidly average in size.
6. I am still Running. I have only been getting a couple of runs a week in and they have been massively pathetic but I now that I am getting some energy back running is getting easier. And yes, my doctor not only okays it but encourages it.
7. Finally the question few ask but many want to know… I had a Mirena. It came out and I didn’t realize it for three weeks (a God thing by itself let me tell you). By the time I knew what had happened, it was too late.

Whew!
The two window kid room is 10X11. The one window kid room is 9½X11. Shouldn’t be that much difference in size but the two window room seems much bigger. We decided logistically the crib would have to go in the two window room and boy or girl the new baby shares a room with the girls for now. So we switched rooms.
I’d been promising Lyssa paint so we took this opportunity to paint both rooms. What a project. We took everything out of both rooms, swithed the bunk beds and painted. Then we moved everything back into the rooms. The good news is that we had already taken time in August to clean out and toss extra junk so there wasn’t much of the that this weekend.
Here is Lyssa hard at work. She was the only kid any good at painting so she was the only one we let to a lot of the painting. The boys got stuck with grunt work.
The boys’ room is “Guacamole” - Yes really. The girls’ is “Splish Splash” which is very light teal and “Teal Bayou” which is a darker teal. We are still working on reorganizing clothes in the girls room.
What a project.
Not sure if this will work or not. I might have to employ another method.
I promised my friend Rikki I would get that picture of her butt lower on my posts.
I promised certain grandparents baby pictures. There are advantages to having easy access to an ultrasound machine. 
I changed my Yahoo ID to daisywings so make the change on your contact lists. If you didn't have me there to begin with... well add me!
