Pregnancy Hilarity

So I have an app on my phone that gives me an update on baby's progress each week. About 15 weeks or so into my pregnancy, I realized that it's clearly not written by an English speaking person. And it makes it even more fun every week. So I'll share this week's that I'm still laughing about. All spelling and grammar are true to the app, not my own errors. And it certainly makes pregnancy sound glamorous.

Thirty-fifth week of pregnanacy

Surely you're already very tired, but there is still a round month to go. And sometimes even more, because some children tend to wait even two weeks after the deadline. At this stage you probably run every hour to the toilet and you have to stop at least three times when climbing up the stairs. When you sit, you breathe heavily, standing is uncomfortable, too, as your legs are swelling, and in addition you can't eat because you have a heartburn. In the 35th week of pregnancy, you are about 10 to 13 kg heavier than before pregnancy. Eat iron-rich products. A child needs iron in the first few months of life. The intenstines produce the meconium, which will later start the pooh season after birth.

First Day of School

Back to school time again this week! Both girls enjoyed the first three days and seem happy with their teachers, so we're off to a good start. They're really growing up!


Compared to last year...

Boy

My girls definitely didn't have one of these! Little Brinkley will be joining us at the end of the year!

Happy Birthday/Father's Day Weekend

In addition to yesterday's festivities (visiting two Greensboro comic book stores and dinner at Pieworks), I thought I'd do a quick post for Lee with a celebration from the girls - Reagan's Don't Stop the Party dance (with an assist from Jenny):

All About My Daddy

I feel a need to share Reagan's kindergarten writings about her dad.

First one is titled What My Daddy Likes:
My daden likes to read comics and watch TV hes a nice daden and he loves to be with me

She calls Lee daden sometimes, so she went ahead and threw that out there.

Next one is titled What my daden is like:
My Peach is an amasing cook. And so is my mommy my Peach loves us all. and so do we. Hes nice. And sweet. the end

Another favorite nickname for her dad - Peach.

Last one is What my daddy looks like:
My daddy has glasses. And usilly wears a shorts and a T-shirt even if its really really cold and he looks nice.

This one is accompanied drawing of Lee at the kitchen table with a comic box, with his aquarium and a swimming fish in the background. Pretty accurate, except that he seems to be a head on top of a chair.

6 Reasons Jenny will Pass the EOG

Jenny just read me this list she made of 6 reasons she can pass her end of grade exams. (Her spelling, not mine.)

1. I believe in myself.
2. I practice every night.
3. I never give up.
4. When I play games I try to find a way to study at the same time.
5. I get a good night sleep.
6. I focus hard.

*As a side note, I realize, not that anyone cares, that it says posted by Reagan when I post anything now. I guess I changed the name associated with my ID to hers when I created her blog for her. I don't feel like changing it again now.

Family of Bloggers

Reagan's been dying for a blog because she's the only one in the family who doesn't have one, so we just got it started. So now we all have our blogs!

Lee - Mr. Sensitive
Jenny - My Life
Reagan - The World According to Reagan

So many ways to keep up with us! Lee blogs much more consistently than I do. Jenny remembers hers every once in a while. We'll just have to see how Reagan does. I hope she shares a lot.

Sanderella!

Well, I didn't do the greatest job filming just because the parents were pretty far away from the stage, but you can certainly hear Reagan, talking very loudly and clearly into the microphone. She's all the way to the left in the yellow shirt, and she's the first voice you hear. The entire thing was super-cute, and Reagan did so well!

I'll Really Do Better

I seriously, seriously plan to do better about blogging, especially videos, when I get my replacement Flip camera, which should be any day now. In the meantime, here are a couple zoo pictures.

Demo Day

I made a video of Jenny's second demo day of the year at gymnastics. She earned 4 red ribbons. The last vault included was a blooper for her that her teacher kindly allowed her to repeat. Overall, she's still loving gymnastics and doing well.

Happy Birthday to Reagan!

A few days late, of course! Reagan turned 6 on Wednesday. Here's a video (my first Flip upload!) from last weekend's birthday party at Bounce U.
