Seriously. I can hear the crickets chirping. Or is it mommy bloggers barfing? Sorry girls. Just know that being sick is a good thing. It means the baby is growing and you're closer to more sleepless nights.
Heh. Okay. I'm totally kidding. It might be the most annoying thing to have someone tell you that being sick is good when you're throwing up so much that you can't see straight.
Anyway, while we wait for our beloved mommy bloggers to come back to the land of the living, here's what I've been up to aside from worrying about my upcoming move, supervising the painting of my son's room, being pissed at a preschool who won't refund but 2 weeks of my prepayment even with military orders, and working hard on a number of very exciting projects (because, as you know, it's my blog and it's all about me):
Naked block building. It's all the rage. Don't worry. They're safe.
Brunch with Jake (on wide screen outside Rockefeller Center) after breakfast with Martha in the form of two really cool radio show hosts.
Watching the world unfold to a now 9-month old (ps: WTF?!)
Giggling every time my daughter tells someone that Drew is going to be a dwarf to her Snow White. And then not giggling every time she tells them mommy is going to be Ariel.
Continuing to be awed at the fact that my 3-year-old daughter could beat me in Pictionary (pss: WTF?)
And what have you been up to? (And have no fear. I'll be back with more Sturm und Drang filled posts next week).
I'm one of those suffering mommybloggers with morning sickness. (though, I'm only a small blip compared to some of the others, I doubt you're missing much here).
I never had it with my first and all I can say is it's the curse of the devil. The worst thing I've experienced. Well, next to an episiotomy...
Anyhoo...
Thanks for the anti-barfing nausea vibes. Hope they help!

There's a waiting list for that preschool as of February 2007 and they can't give you a total refund? Unbelievable.

What have I been up to? I tripped my 11th month old son and now the side of his face is one big scrape. The best part, when he feel I thought he was just fussy until I saw his face this morning. Needless to say, I am feeling awesome about my mommy skills today.

Well, let's see. I'm still incubating. 26 weeks. Well past the yakking, thank you.
We are dressing up our English Setter as a bride for Halloween. My stepdaughter is going to be a bridesmaid. Dad? Going in his tux, of course.
I. Am supposed to come up with these costumes. I. Don't know how to sew. At all.
Hmmmmmmm.

What a beautiful Snow White! She's a natural , really.
Congrats on being on Martha's show!

My daughter is going to be Snow White too. She wants her baby sister to be Dopey. I guess it could work, she is bald. Sounds like you got a lot on your plate.

Q is such an adorable Snow White!

That's an awesome bicycle. And sounds like an awesome trip. Awesomeness all around.
If I could just live vicariously through you, then maybe the sick wouldn't seem so bad.

I forgot to mention I had a dream about Jake after we saw him.
It was goooooood.

I've been looking for my Oreos.

Your daughter is a frickin' genius! A sketch of a bike at age 3? Holy crap!

Me? I've been responding to all of the Google Pervs who are looking to me for information on Mike Rowe's crotch. I'm trying desperately to get some Dirty Job love from Mike Rowe. Desperately. Trying. Hard.
No success so far.
I am crushed.
I think I'll quit my day job.

thank god I'm not the only one to think everyone is preggers except for me... what have I been up to? I'm being whipped by 2, that's what.

I so much LOVE that picture of Drew...aww.
About the yakking...it's still too close a memory for me. I am sending out good vibes to all those who are currently sick. ugh.
[still shuddering from the flashbacks]

Yeah. No morning sickness here either.

It DOES seem as if the whole Bloggesphere is pregnant. What are they drinking and where can I get some? I blog. I read blogs. I'm a woman trying to get pregnant. What gives?

You wish you were that close to Jake. Oh, maybe that's me. Did you see him in Jarhead. Me likes a good set of biceps.

"It might be the most annoying thing to have someone tell you that being sick is good when you're throwing up so much that you can't see straight."
It's also annoying for those of us who haven't had to suffer through morning sickness, as it implies that there must be something wrong with us or our babies. My baby is definitely growing!

She could beat me at Pictionary, too. I can't even draw convincing stick people.
I can take pretty pictures with my camera, though. Does that count?

No refund even with military orders? That's total crap! (Right now there is a preschool owner rubbing their hands together in glee.)
