Just some realizations worth noting....

I've got some odds and ends to talk about. Here we go:

• Anika's got her first loose tooth (she's thrilled, I'm not)


• When stress and pregnancy team up, tears will pour and the faucet will be stuck in the "open" position


• I'm more private than I ever thought I'd be


• Adith is growing like "whoa"..... my belly now falls out the bottom of all my favorite comfy shirts!


• Peanut Butter & Jelly waffles accompanied by favorite fruit and a cup of milk is the healthiest thing a stressed out preggo is gonna make for supper when she can't turn her tear faucet off.


• Our dog is depressed and I feel bad that I can't pet him. Seriously, I can't, as per 2 PCM's and every OB doc I have seen so far this pregnancy.


• My children behave INCREDIBLY well at the post office.... so well that people commented and for once, accused me of being a great mom that should raise as many children as possible. (this, too, brought tears)


• Coloring is fun, even when you're 30, and coloring outside the lines accidentally is even more of a bummer than when you're 4!


• The Marine across the street is a scam artist.... seriously! Who else gets 2.5 hour lunches AND manages to be home by 3:30 every day? Ok, that was a bit of a vent, not quite a realization. Moving on....


• I'm fairly certain that Alohi is just as OCD as myself and Malkiah. The girl hates open doors, and if when she's done playing in her kitchen cupboard, she shuts the door, opens it, shuts the door, opens it, shuts the door, stares at it, then crawls away........ almost every time!


• The man at the post office working to get the line down fast is not the go-to man when you need adult conversation. I was desperate for interaction, and he was just trying to make a dent in the 15 person line!


• My memory is getting HORRIBLE!
