We’re 85% certain that the little one baking inside is a boy! A boy. I don’t even know where to begin with a boy. I come from a family of three girls with tons of aunts who had mostly girls. I’m clueless when it comes to boys. You’re going to have to take it easy on Mama, Jackson! She’s going to have to learn as she goes!

It was absolutely crazy seeing him move around during the sonogram. He’s a squirmy little thing! At some point he kept on kicking his little legs straight out and then back, like he was marching (or kickboxing?!). We also got to see him munching his little mouth and moving his hands all over the place. Absolutely amazing.

You know, for the last few weeks I had been feeling a good amount of pops or bubbles and thought there was no way they were all Jackson. Turns out they were. Let’s hope he settles down a bit by the time he greets the world!

A boy…oh my goodness.

My sister turned 36 yesterday…Happy Birthday Gelica!!! Oops, was I not suppose to tell the world your age? Sorry about that. Don’t worry too much, how many people could possibly read this blog?! Anyway, people still ask which one of us is older so you should be feeling pretty good considering I’m 6 years younger! In case anyone was wondering, I’m the one on the right.

Like Sesame Street, she pretty much kicks ass. Both my sisters do…they’re smart, beautiful and make me laugh so much I snort. It’s my opinion that you should surround yourself with people who make you laugh so much you either snort like Mr. Ed or dribble snot out your nose. If you’re not looking like an idiot, you’re not laughing hard enough.

Yeah, those are good people to have in your life. I’m lucky to have them as my sisters.

(Heh, just in case anyone misunderstood…the title of this post has absolutely nothing to do with my sister’s birthday!)

It’s nice to know that good ol’ Sesame Street is still kicking ass.

And on the subject of TV…how do those of you with little ones (under 2) feel about the tv? Do your kids watch it?

Jim and I switched to using cloth napkins daily instead of wasting their pesky paper counterparts. I’ve been a long time fan of vintage napkins so we definitely had enough to put to good use. They don’t get as dirty as I thought they would so we use them for a week and then replace them with new ones. Super easy way to cut back on paper usage!

The biggest problem with the cloth napkins has been where to store them during the week. As all of you who have older houses know, our tiny kitchen has absolutely no counter space so often times our napkins would end up either cluttering the kitchen (like here!) or messily thrown on the dinning room table.

But not anymore, now we have personalized clips to hang our napkins! Took all of 20 min. to put together. Feels good to have something on my “To Do” list crossed off…only 674 thousand more to go!

And if it’s a boy…

- Modo 3-in-1Crib
- Random vintage robots
- Abduction Lamp
- Eames Rocker
- My New Robot Prints

This truly is a wish list since the lamp isn’t even available and the vintage robot was going for 300 bucks on ebay. Yeah, no.

I guess there’s always the possibility of Jim reworking an old spaceship toy into the lamp and the smallest of chances that we’ll find an entire box of tin robots on the side of the road, free for the taking. And maybe someone will want to freecycle the wonderful Eames rocker…yeah.

Not holding my breath.
