Not me! Monday

Oh yes. Happy Monday all! Visit MckMama for more not me fun!

This week I DID NOT cry every day. Nope, I'm totally in control of my emotions.

My youngest DID NOT turn 3 this week. She DID NOT ask me everyday this week, "Am I still 3?"

I DID NOT stuff the washing machine full of dirty clothes to the point the lid didn't even bang shut in order to clean up for the Open House on Sunday. Of course, I do laundry on a routine, so there is never piles of laundry around. I am NOT currently working my way through 6 loads of laundry today. I would ever procrastinate like that.

I am NOT audibly hearing the countdown of this baby coming, no matter what the house does!

I DID NOT decide on Saturday that I couldn't wait any longer to start preparing for this baby. SO I DID NOT discuss with Michael buying a twin bed for her, find one on Craig's list, and buy it that day. She DID NOT have a perfect first night in her big girl bed!

Lastly, I have NOT discovered I have no control in my life. None. God is in control and that is enough. As a psychological response to this discovery, I DID NOT dye my hair cartoon red. Nope, not me!



Have a great week!

Not me! Monday

Oh yes! It's MckMama's Not Me Monday! I would never be involved in the following activities and choices. Anyone who says differently is just trying to get me in trouble.

I did not under any circumstances, purchase paper plates this week. I recycle everything, use cloth napkins, and used cloth diapers for goodness sakes! I would never use paper plates just to save my pregnant sanity.

I did not seriously consider throwing away dirty clothes and simply purchasing new ones. I was not that sick of laundry.

I did not send my six year old to bed, along with the other younger ones, because I simply couldn't function any longer and had to nap for 20 minutes. I did not sleep for 90 minutes.

I did not announce that I am pregnant by putting a ticker on my blog and then posting a link to twitter that updates my facebook status. I am not that woman!

After my ultrasound, the ultrasound tech did not offer to scan SJ, who is two. We did not agree to this, so we of course do not have a picture of SJ's liver. (If we had a scanner, I'd post the pic!)

Have a great week!

Children's Responses

We took our kids out for ice cream to tell them we were adding a new baby to the family. They were a riot! They each had their own responses.

Chase: Really? When?
Stuart: HUH?
Sabrina: Can I play and kiss the baby's toesies?

We talked some about when (August) and how far away it is, but how exciting it will be to have a new brother or sister. We asked what we should call the baby until it comes.

Chase: John. Yes, John.
Sabrina: I'm gonna call it Aleah.
Michael liked peanut. I thought that was too generic. I liked marshmallow, but that got shut down too. We didn't reach any conclusions.

This morning Sabrina was reminding Stuart about the baby.

Sabrina: Yes, my baby will come after my birthday and when I'm in 3K.

I'm glad they are so excited!
