Missing Lafayette

Who would have thought that I would ever miss Lafayette? I didn't think I would. I am more missing St. Boniface and the Schola right now. I am listening to a sort of Advent Station on Pandora right now and the music is so very pretty and reminds me of the St. Boniface Schola. We are staying here for Christmas this...

Did I ever tell you about…

the time we were in Kohls, walking past the bra section when Karol piped up "That's where the baby eats from". Joshua and I both thought it was too funny. So, Caecilia is a week old now. She is doing well. She is almost back to her birth weight and doing just fine. She is a good eater and likes to snuggle. She seldom...

Caecilia Rosa’s Baptism

Yesterday, the 7th, Caecilia was baptised. It was a small ceremony here in Marion. We like to have the babies baptised as soon as possible after birth, so quite a bit of the time, people aren't able to make it. That isn't a big deal for us, though we would like to have our families with us, we know that baptising the...

Caecilia Rosa

We have a little girl, Caecilia Rosa! She was born yesterday, December 4th at 3:08 pm. Labor started on Tuesday around 5 or 6 pm. The midwife came over, a "backup" one because my midwife was attending another birth. Andrea came over to watch the kids and things got underway. Uh, for a while. My contractions were...

Landlord Woes

Have you ever wished you picked a different place to live? I do right now. Our landlord is a totally and complete lying idiot. We were refrerred to him by a person at the parish. We thought we would give him a chance as he was just starting out in the rental business. (We were told he was a good kid though.) That was...

End of pregnancy angst

Is it normal to be cranky as can be at the end of your pregnacy? I ask because today, I felt like ripping the head off of a lady behind me at Kroger. Twice. I was standing in line at the Uscan picking up some things for J (who was "enjoying" himself at the "Holiday Bazzar" at Church). I had M with me as K was with J....

Boring update

I am 37 weeks and 1 day right now. I am cranky as can be too. EVERYTHING makes me cranky right now. Joshua and Karol had the left over pizza for lunch on Sunday, I was mad. Joshua has scouts last night, I was not thrilled about it. Joshua had to mow the lawn today (long story), ticked me off. Our landlord being a...
