Mother's Day & 15 month LID-versary:
It was a nice day. I woke up to find gifts!! Bobby got me a swarovski crystal ladybug (pictured to the left) and a really pretty pillow with silk ribbon embroidery on it. I'm not big into "ladybug sitings" but I do think ladybugs are cute and had noticed the little crystal bug at a local gift shop recently. You can't tell from this pic but it is tiny, about 3/4" in length. Its so cute, I love it!!

It also happened to mark exactly 15 mos that our dossier has been logged in at CCAA. 15 mos down and ??? more to go!

Bobby had to work this morning so I went with Casey and my mom to Victoria Gardens to see Spiderman 3. Casey thought it was dumb. My mom and I both thought it was cute and fun! Then, Brett met as for lunch at Sisley's, a new italian place right by the movie theater. Because we went to an early movie and I had made reservations for lunch, we ended up having to do absolutely NO waiting! It was great. That's the part of going out on Mom's Day that I normally hate --the waiting.

Then, we went to a teppan place with Bobby's mom, Jimmy and Sandra for dinner. It was nice. Overall a very pleasant day!

So tomorrow's Mother's Day! It always makes me think about what kind of a mom I am and what my kids will think about me when they're adults and maybe have kids of their own. Of course, I also think about my future daughter and what she will be like. Last year, for Mom's Day, Bobby gave me a very sweet card that said something like "next Mother's Day, you'll be a mother of three" --we all really thought it was true at the time. But, I'm pretty sure it will be true next year. So here's to mom's!

You Are Somewhat Like Your Mom

Believe it or not, you and your mom are pretty darn similar. It may not seem like it at times, but you and your mom have a lot of common ground. Over time, you'll probably get closer ... especially if you emphasize the things you like about each other.

Are You Like Your Mom?

The old blog got a new look!!! Of course I'm so blog ignorant that it took me literally hours to get this far. So here I am! Yeah!!

This is pretty sad. It was 11/05 when I originally posted this "sonogram" --I
didn't know how to make it a banner and I wanted it to stay at the top. So, I
just changed the date of the post to 1 year later. Surely we would be home with
Baby Girl by 11/06. Sadly, that date has come and gone with no Baby Girl even
close. So, I've edited this post to 11/07 so it will stay on top. I'm hoping
that we will have our referral by then. If not, I'm going to be REALLY bummed.



I've been cleaning up my blog and making it much prettier (IMO!!). Therefore, I've decided I'm letting this go today. Its never going to happen by 11/07. I just need to move on.

These referrals came the end of April but are really the "May" batch due to CCAA being closed the first week of May.

I am a Daffodil What Flower Are You?

You have a sunny disposition and are normally one of the first to show up for the party. You don't need too much attention from the host once you get there as you are more than capable of making yourself seen and heard.
