The final countdown!

7 1/2 WEEKS TO GO!!!!!!!
Yup, I'm freaking out.

Thanks everyone who was able to come to the baby shower on Sunday! Thank you Nicole for doing that for me!! It was lots of fun once things got going and everyone came out of their shell a bit. Baby K got a lot of cutie pie little clothes and other gifts. Danica even got a few gifts too!! She's been pretty obsessed with her new "paper dolls" from Grammy. They're actually wooden and magnetic, but still paper dolls to me!
I'm glad to have a distraction for her. School's out, swimming is over for a couple weeks and we don't start dance for a couple weeks. With this rotten weather, we've been bored! Her SuperDaddy has been out of town too, so that makes it tough for her. Thankfully I think we get him back tonight.

Growing up so fast!

Last night on our way to swimming lessons, Duane was talking and I was distracted by something. When I looked up I saw the rear end of a car rapidly approaching us so I had to hit the breaks pretty hard. Duane mumbled something about my driving and from the back seat we heard a very disgusted Dani say, "Oh for God's sake!!!!"

She had her last day of school today! We went to watch her program this afternoon. They sang us quite a few songs that they sing every day. They also showed us some of their yoga poses that they do every day and some of their sign language skills too. And all this time I thought she was flashing me gang signs! Imagine my relief. :)
It was all so cute, and both Duane and I were beaming with pride at our little graduate. We have some pictures and videos to share, but this new computer isn't cooperating yet. So once I get it all figured out, we'll share it all.

no-brainer?

Studies have now found links in foods with pesticides and children with ADHD and other brain deficit disorders. So confused as to why more people don't buy organic... makes no sense to me.

Belly shot

We all had to get in the belly shots.

I've been getting a lot of grief for not posting some belly pictures, so here ya go!!!

And the mommy guilt lives on...

Whew!!!
As most of you probably already know, we had quite a scare on Sunday. We were at a pool for a birthday party and one minute of not watching Danica left an opening for her to jump into the big pool. After a horrible feeling by mom, SuperDaddy (as he's now known) found her in the big pool under water and dove in to get her. Luckily Duane's aunt Kate (a Physicians Assistant) was there and knew what to do right away cuz both mom and dad were frozen in fear. After a lot of vomitting water and those blue lips turning back to pink (kind of), we took off for the ER. We were there all day and Danica was a trooper through the whole thing. Mom and Dad not so much however. We are getting better and better each day though. Dani had another set of x-rays done yesterday and her lungs look great, so she's physically wonderful. She does talk about it once in a while and it's obviously still traumatic for her, but we're going back to swimming lessons tonight to get right back on that horse.

Dad's doing well, and I went from laying awake all night counting her sweet breaths, to laying awake at night with a sinus cold (probably from lack of sleep and the trauma). We are slowly getting able to talk about it without breaking down, so the no-call ban has been lifted... feel free to call whenever. And thanks for the space.
