The Perfect Child (for us)!

I feel like Vicki from Small Wonder

This third trimester has been relatively peaceful, and I thank my lucky stars for that. The weather has been mild and I'm doing my best to stay calm and collected with a boisterous 2 1/2 year old. However, my heart keeps racing and I keep getting dizzy spells :-( So I mentioned it to OB/GYN. What does she do? She sends me to a Cardiologist. At the tender age of 34, I am being seen by a Cardiologist.

Turns out that I have a mild heart murmur. So yesterday I had an echocardiogram (ultrasound of the heart) that was pretty interesting, and a heart Holter device "installed" for 24 hours. So I have all these patches and wires, and a little fanny pack attached to me. I get it off at 3:05 p.m. today, and I can't wait to shower.






I'll see the Cardiologist on September 14 for a follow-up. I'm sure everything is just fine with me. Most importantly, the Baby is doing well. She is measuring a week small...I just think her due date she officially be adjusted to October 13. Today, per the doctor I am 34 weeks! Six more to go.

The Magic of Super Warehouse Stores

Thursday morning I take the Kid to Costco. Before we go she has breakfast, cereal, fruit and milk. Pretty filling for a 2 1/2 year old. No sooner do we enter the store I hear, "Momma, I hungry." Really, I mean she just ate. "Well, what do you want to eat?" The Kid responds, "That," and proceeds to point to every sample station at Costco.

So I spend my shopping trip like the other greedy people, shoveling samples (into my child's mouth). What amazes me though is the fact she'll eat ANYTHING I put in front on her...chicken burger with spinach, chickpeas with an Indian curry sauce, etc. Whereas if I brought these goodies home, she wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole. What is it about Costco and Sam's Club that brings out the hungry beast in people?! It's an amazing phenomenon.

Yee Haw!

Ice Cream Sandwiches

My Mister sent me this link about ice cream sandwiches. I think that I will have to investigate the topic some more on my own.


Being in my 3rd trimester of pregnancy, and it being summer, I have a substantial craving for the aforementioned ice cream sandwich. I'm not particular about them, as long as it's vanilla ice cream with a chocolate cookie. One of my favorites is the ice cream sandwich served at Disneyland. You know the one, that looks like Mickey Mouse.

Gettin' Ready

Just booked our hotel room for another California family vacation. Last year in March we went to the Monterey Bay Aquarium. This year, we're heading south to San Diego to visit Shamu and his friends. I hope Shamu doesn't eat anyone this time.
