We love you, Baby Girl.

I'm sitting here on the couch with Isabelle behind me on the back. She seems to be having a pretty good morning. That's surprising considering the night she had. Today is her last day.

We're giving her fluids every single day. Every morning she's a bit perkier, but not as much as she was the day before and she's sliding faster and further throughout ( Read more... )

I have finally finished my cross stich project!  Within the adoption world, the "waiting game" is a killer.  One thing people suggest to do during this period is to start a project specifically related to the baby; a scrapbook, make a photo album in preparation, paint the nursery, etc.  John's sister, while she was pregnant with Cameron, crocheted ( Read more... )

Isabelle jumped up on my chest tonight while I was at my computer and slept on me for probably 20 minutes. It was adorable! She so rarely does that anymore and I was loving every furry second of it. She was purring in my ear, curling into me, loving on me ( Read more... )

I have the exact number of snitches that I need to top the points on my house flags (yes, it looks dumb but hey, you think I'm gonna get sued if somebody's dumb kid gets poked in the eye with the point of a shishkabob stick?!).  I now have the exact number minus one.  The cats discovered my stash of little gold balls with white feather wings = ( Read more... )

My Harry Potter dinner party is tonight!  Yay!  Yes, I'm that much of a dork.  But it's good, clean fun and I got to spend lots of money and time on silly little crafts which made me happy.  And now I have beautiful sparkly house flags on my walls and little flags on sticks (eventually - must get them finished!) to take to the book release tonight ( Read more... )

I'm drowning in kitty drool!
