Back to the Grind

Well, it's been a month since I've posted anything. Now I knew it had been a while, but a month! There are so many things to catch up on and now is the time since it's raining. (Big surprise, right?) I could use the excuse that it's hard to do anything during the holidays, but that would be a cop out. It's hard to do anything when your pregnant, planning and coordinating a family wedding, holidays, traveling, taking care of a husband, packing, cleaning, getting cards out, baking, wrangling a cat, and incubating an alien.

So, lets just try to overview noteworthy mentionings from the life of random steph over the course of the last month.

- Wendi got married.
- Wendi got married and things when beautifully (literally and figuratively)
- Boise State Broncos won their bowl game.
- Boise State won their bowl game as the underdogs in a way that made it one of the best college games ever. (This is not just my opinion, go read commentaries at ESPN or Fox Sports or etc...)
- Only one Christmas card got returned to me.
- I made four batches of fudge and we didn't even eat that much of it ourselves.
- We traveled without major incident by plane to Boise, Reno and back home.
- Oh yeah, that thing called Christmas....
- We got to see a bunch of our friends in Boise (including some who were visiting for Christmas like us).
- We got to see some of my old friends from HS in Reno. We ate pizza, played board games and laughed a lot. Good times.
- We saw family
- I got a cold. I still have that cold, slowly but surely I'm going to kick it.
- Scott & I celebrated in the new year by walking a mile and a half in downtown Portland at an event called "First Run".
- I believe I was the only pregnant participant, although there were a smattering of kids.
- We took the Max downtown for the event. It was free. On the way home we got to see lots of drunk people acting funny. (Better there than on the roads!)
- We had a party for the Fiesta Bowl.
- Did I mention that Boise State won?
- I was pregnant.

Well, I think those are the big things. I've probably forgotten something. Perhaps I'll write about it later. Then again, perhaps not. :)

Monster Child

I noticed that our dear little girl's clothes were getting tight. As in too small. I had guessed we wouldn't get through all the lovely 0-3 month clothes we had. Most were hand me downs, which made me glad because we didn't even look at a lot of them. Especially since she isn't even two months old yet. So, I went through her drawers and pulled out tons of clothes, rearranged and washed the new 3-6 month clothes I had. The only thing I wondered: Did she weigh enough to fit into those clothes? Or was it just the long torso that was throwing us off. I went to a breastfeeding group yesterday and had the opportunity to weigh her. Fully dressed (so subtract a couple ounces for clothing weight) she weighed... 12 pounds !!! Good grief! In the five weeks since her last doc. appointment she has gained over three pounds. One thing is for sure, I've going to develop buff arms before I know it!

Lame O

I was catching up on a couple of blogs I like to read when I suddenly felt convicted about the lack of posts on my own blog. Now, granted, most of the time I have more important things to do. Like shower, which doesn't happen often enough. Like chase a munchkin, or a cat, or loads of laundry, dishes and unfinished craft projects. Truth is, I often have ideas of things to blog about. Like the weather. The massive amounts of rain, wind and crazy flooding. Then I convince myself that it's "boring" and don't. Besides I could be eating fudge instead. And really, everyone should be eating fudge instead. Which is another idea... share my 2 minute fudge recipe with the world. I mean, the five people who sometimes read this blog when there are new posts and they remember to check it. But even then, if they made it, that would mean that the world would have five people that are that much happier.

She's given up on us. We're SO boring. That and she hasn't worn clothes since this morn. Just a diaper. She apparently thinks that's just fine today. And I'm going to say a small child running around in a diaper seems a lot more decent that a toddler running around in just undies. I guess we'll have to continue the MM bribery! PS - the kid's hair is getting crazy long!
