Becca's teeth are still hanging in there. I am so surprised I thought for sure by now we would have had a visit form the Tooth Fairy. Instead today we welcomed Cordelia's first tooth!
Can you believe it? Already! The girl is growing up way too fast for my liking. Thankfully she takes after her big sister and the tooth appeared without pain and suffering (unlike her older brother, he was tortured by teething!) It is the right tooth on the bottom that has broken threw but not up yet.
It is cold here. -20 C with the wind chill (and that so totally counts when walking to school!) I am so excited that today was the last day of school! YAY Christmas holidays.
I knit a pair of Bella Mittens for Ms B, Becca's teacher. I hope the mittens will keep her hands toasty! I am still in the process of knitting, sewing and the like for Christmas. I am so not leaving it this late next year.
Ethan has not been feeling well as of late. He is very clingy, sensitive and teeters on the edge of crying a lot. It is so not like him. I am hoping it will pass soon.
The kids are beyond excited for Christmas. I can hardly wait to have everyone home, celebrating the season together. Times seems so precious.
Well, with some very helpful advice from our pediatrician, and a multi-fronted, concerted effort by Getalife and myself, it looks like we've been able to take a significant edge off the colic. Here's what we've done so far:

It however, all quickly approaching the big DAY! I am sadly disorganized. I am knitting, sewing wrapping, humming, cleaning, cooking, baking (hopefully soon) all in a frenzy. I call it Christmas High. It is fun and stressful.
I vow not to leave so much to the month of December.
I want to be able to sit back and enjoy the season with the kids rather than feeling frenzied.
This is Becca's last week till her Christmas vacation starts. I can hardly wait to have her home! Two weeks of all of us being together, going for walks, reading, playing and enjoying each other. J will be able to take some time off too so it is an extra bonus.
Are you still creating presents for Christmas? Still shopping?
What are you hoping to find under the tree this year?
What's the worst book you've ever read?
So the words "out patient" just make me think that recovery is pretty darn quick but it really just means you get to recover at home. I get that now. I was pretty much zonked out all day after surgery - yes, I did expect that. I didn't expect to be so out of it today. The pain meds just weren't agreeing with me. I've cut the dosage in half and the pain is very tolerable. Now I think maybe I just hadn't had enough food before I took the very strong drugs.
The surgery itself went fine. I have pictures of it and everything! I remember being rolled into the operating room and hearing music. I can't remember what was playing. It wasn't my favorite but I didn't mind it. I suppose I just want the surgeon happy and in the zone right? I just remember commenting that it wasn't kiddie music.
The staff at the hospital was really awesome! Everyone was super nice and I was once again complimented on my veins. That's good right?
My lovely daughters were thankfully sleeping when I got home so I was able to just scoot into bed. My husband, mommy, and mother in law took care of the girls. They spent the morning at the library and then outside getting all muddy in the puddles that had formed just outside the garage. Of course they had a blast so that's what matters! They spent most of the afternoon making spaghetti and other play doh meals. They absolutely LOVE the super dough my BFF gave them! We just have to work on keeping the stuff contatined in a certain area but I'm ok with it if it is helping my babies cope with mommy having to lay down so much.
They caught a glimpse of the pictures I uploaded of their buddies K and C and they want to play with them. Yep, even baby C. Sofia and Natalia didn't really play with the baby but apparently they thought she was cool enough to want her back over. Sofia still isn't sure about sharing her high chair with C but she didn't flat out say no.
Ok, I can feel the pain meds telling me I have to go to sleep so I shall be good and pay attention.
What would it take to get you to start a new life on a new world?

If you could hang out with any movie character for a day, whom would you choose as your sidekick?
