Where Did I Come From?



Please note: There is a naughty word in this post. I never swear and I'm kind of embarassed to have a bad word on here. But this is a true story.

My two nieces were watching tv the other night when a commercial came on showing a fetus in utero. There were pictures of aging babies and voice overs saying things like "4 weeks, brain waves are recorded," and "10 weeks, heart beats." I don't actualy know what the voice overs were, but something like that. My nieces were totally entranced by the photos. They've asked plenty of questions about where they came from and they were old enough to grill me about my last pregnancy. But here is a very interesting conversation that my brother-in-law had with my niece Chloe:

Dave: You were just like that when you were in your mommy's tummy.

Chloe: Yeah, I know that. I remember.

Dave: Oh, really?

Chloe (with a totally straight, but kind of confused face and her hands up): Yeah, I opened my eyes and I was like, 'What the hell am I doing in here?'

Family Road Trip

I decided to sift through some pictures on my computer to see if I had anything worth posting because I have a blog now and I'm excited to post something!!

Back in March my family went to the north woods of Wisconsin to visit my dad's family. We had fun. The kids practically lived in the pool. Here are some pictures from our trip. (Okay, I might have used this as an excuse to try out a slideshow!


Long time reader, first time blogger

So I have been reading my friend's blog for a very long time and I've always wanted to be just like her so I finally decided I would do a blog too. Sadly, not nearly as much exciting stuff happens to me. Maybe if I have a blog I will be cool and so cool stuff will happen to me!
