I had cinnabon for breakfast! I like to live on the wild side! =/
Sorry...my life is quite boring. lol Maybe someone else will have something better to add.
Mine's pretty lame too, my parents are coming over tonight to watch Sasha while DH and I go out and I really need to clean (my parents are a little too crazy about it being clean, especially my dad), but I'm going to vacuum quickly right before my mom gets here and tell her Sasha made a mess playing. And then shove things in the closets. Instead I'm gong to go take a super quick nap.* And now I want a cinnabon, thanks Bonnie!
*Mind you, our apartment isn't like a pig sty or anything, but I really feel like I should clean a bit extra when people are coming over.

mine is pretty lame too....
I've never cut Gabriella's nails. Fingers or toes. She squirms too much and they are so tiny I'm scared. And I've learned that you don't really need to cut a baby's nails, because they are so fragile anyway, that they break on their own. So, my child has scraggly, ragged nails because I just let them grow and break and grow and break and never cut them. :-)
OMG, I waited forever to cut CJ's nails when he was a baby. I only did eventually because he was getting a bad case of the Edward Scissorhands face wounds.
The first time I was so scared. I held my breath the whole time and I made it through the first nine nails like a pro manicurist. And then the tenth nail. Oy, the tenth nail. I cut his finger. There was blood everywhere. (Okay, like a few drops, but in my panicked brain, everywhere, it was a bloodbath!!) When DH came home I handed over the baby sobbing about mangling him and wounding him and being a failure. It was awful. And then I didn't cut them for another 4 months, I would only emery board them.
Really, this is dumb.
I am 5 months, 1 week pregnant. And I don't look it. I look like I had a bunch of extra bagels and ice cream. Unless I am wearing some sort of empire waist top I don't look pregnant. And then it is only the top doing the work, not me. I look pregnant in those even when I am not.
Thing is, I want to look pregant!! I have suffered through these 5 months and I want the sympathy of every single person I meet!!
DH said that the same thing happened last time and I didn't really get "pregnant looking" until like month 7. And then he said that I really looked pregnant and everybody could tell. And him saying that almost got him socked in the mouth.
Because, you just can't win with a pregnant lady!!
