Two More Weeks (!)

Ahh... sitting in bed w Mike looking at really, really bad cakes and listening to music is fabulous.

It's Sunday night.

The weekend went by pretty quickly.

Thursday morning, Ami dressed like this.


I told her to smile, which is why she's making this awesome face.


Marilee came and gave me a great report. Everything is perfect right now. I got my hemoglobin up, my platelets are super, I'm drinking enough water, and if Ollie is born now she'll be fine!  She's approximately 5 1/2 lbs!

After this good news, I was feeling pretty awesome.

Later on, Ami drew on her ball. It's one of her favorite things to do, if you haven't noticed- draw on stuff.



I also made some cupcake cones.




I made a grilled whole wheat, goat cheese, honey, basil sandwich.

What's eating my basil, Man? I'm bummed.




Then we went to the library and played with the puzzles.

On Friday, I had my chiropractor appointment which was pretty good. After that, though, I was pretty pooped and cranky.  Ami fought nap time and we were just both pretty cranky.
At around 4, Nina called and asked me if I wanted to go for a walk and I said yes.
Dude, one mile will kick my ass.

I was dying.

Ami asked if she could watch "Bob" and snuggle me and Nina on the big bed.
We did.

Then Nina left and Ami and I got ready for the Ladie's Showcase at the 909.
I thought it'd be really good for Ami. I knew it'd be quiet and she'd be able to move around.
Jenna was there to play/sing some songs and I knew Ami was going to love that.

Jenna ended up only playing in one song in the first set and we had to leave after that, which was a bummer.
Ami had fun, regardless. She was dancing and having just a really good time.
She saw Jenna and Jay and recognized Jenna's parents.


Here is Hailee and Laura.  Laura is freaking awesome. She was playing mandolin as well as guitar. It was neat seeing her fancied up. She's so granola, I love it.



This face Ami's making...   One of the ladies was singing that Alanis Morissette secret song from Jagged Little Pill.   Yeah, that one...That's why Ami is making that face.



It was a fun night.  Those ladies are nice and it was lots of fun hanging out w Jay and Jenna.  Ami was playing w them every chance she could get.

Papa didn't come home until late because he was playing poker over at Larry's, so Ami and I snuggled a little bit in the bed before she slept.
We've been reading Hungry, Hungry Caterpillar and pretending to hold the caterpillar and increasing it's weight and size as the book goes on.

Her imagination is expanding and it is so beautiful to watch.
We went over what we were doing when we wake up... sang Wheels on the Bus, Who's the Most Beautiful, and the ABCs out loud and in sign language.

She fought it for a bit... it was rough...

She was in a good mood when she woke up, though.
Papa, Ami, Larry, Gabby and Bean went for a walk in our neighborhood while I slept.

I made Ami oatmeal and did some laundry and dishes...

Papa went to work... Ami and I made Uncle Brandon a housewarming present of chocolate chocolate chocolate cookie mix in a jar.  I omitted the pecans because 1) I don't have any and 2) I wasn't sure if Brandon likes pecans.



I included in a smaller jar the oil and extracts so all he had to do was add milk.

Ami and I decorated the jars adding the instructions right on the jar so they wouldn't get lost.

 Then I broke out the clay and made Jenna this little diddly w 'treasures' from Ami's bsby shower we've saved.

It's just decoupaged paper and clay on the bottom.



I didn't get a picture of the finished product. I braided embroidery floss to connect the pieces.




I want to say, in between every thing we did Saturday, Ami played with Play Doh.  She made me everything from ice cream to balls.

One time, she cut off a piece of Play Doh and gave it to me to 'eat.'  I said, 'Mmmmm that's delicious, what did you use in this?'
'Play Doh and a knife!'
'Right on, Babe!'

We were planning on seeing Jenna and Jay play at Kybecca but I was just too pooped.

We did see them this morning, though!
We ate brunch at Foode!

It was Jenna's birthday!





It was such a great day.
Birthday brunch at Foode, a little nap, new song at practice!  Oh!!!  and cake wrecks.  I'm still looking through the 600+ pages of awesome.

And I found this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Mike said my head was gonna explode.
