My Main Squeeze

Just want to take a moment and appreciate my man. He worked so hard this past weekend on projects around the house and out in the yard! And I don't even think he's done. Mom says he's "nesting" with me. But he has just been wonderful.
I was watching Joel Osteen last night (we watch/listen a lot of times at night as we're going to sleep) and the message was about the 86,400 seconds that is God's gift to each one of us everyday. And I'm not wasting 'em today by being negative! I love and appreciate my husband!

At last...

She has a first name that O'Hara says we can share. Maren. So our little booger will be called Maren (among other things, I'm sure!) Maren Howard. That's right. No middle name yet. O'Hara is going to decide the middle name. NOT on his own, mind you. He will be picking from a list of names we complied TOGETHER. So, I'll fill you in when we're all squared away with that whole thing.

She is getting the hiccups ALL the time now. Her activity level remains HIGH. I researched online and "they" say that means I have a healthy placenta. Good. 'Cause although my thighs are a nice "healthy" size, I assure you the activity there did not come from carrots and grean beans.

We had supper with Kathy & Al last night in Lexington. Olive Garden takeout. DE-lish. I'm glad they'll be up here more in the next month with the baby coming and all!

I'm looking forward to 4 things coming up:
1) A WELL overdue hair apt. next Tues. with Michelle. At the moment, my hair is a nice combination of brown, caramel, and blonde at certain ends. It's tragic. Work your magic, Michelle.
2) At the doc next Thurs. they're gonna check me for action. I don't expect action, but it would be cool if there was some progress down there!
3) Julia Chase's 7th birthday party next Sat. It's a glitz & glam party...with makeup and nails, glitter, temp. hair color & tattoos, etc. Should be awesome.
4) A baby shower for us! Linda is hosting a shower next Sun. afternoon and it should be plenty of fun. I don't get to see the Sloans as often as I'd like to! Thanks, Linda! Can't wait!
