welcome to ballerina-ville

ok, so i admit it... i stink at keeping up with blogs. i thought before it was because i didn't have much to talk about, but nah! i just stink at it. after all, i have plenty to talk about these days (and to pretty much anyone who'll listen considering the doctor has told me to officially take a seat and chill out)... which is funny because i would be the opposite of chill. consider me un-chill, perhaps even hot stuff! (except for right now as i sit here at home in my decidedly uncool pjs and tragic hairdo)

so, yes, yes, yes! word's out and it's girls, girls, girls! aren't you totally excited? you shall be receiving your invitation to their first dance recital any day now, which i must admit i'm totally looking forward to. the youngest little dancers are the best because they get up on stage in their ducky costumes and just stand there and then move a little bit and crash into their neighbor. who doesn't love a little of that? :)

i'm completely overwhelmed at the amount of things i have to do before their arrival and i think it's been partly exacerbated by the doctor's putting the brakes on my go-go-go life... room color...what? registry... ahhh! i know that babies have no clue what their room looks like and all that jazz, so i'm actually, for once in my life, not too concerned about that. in fact, i think i've really managed to separate the needs from the wants in this case. after all, some of this stuff that the whole business tries to get you to buy into a child uses for about three months... and that's what craigslist is for! woot woot!

it's more just the sheer volume of things... like as in *everything.* my entire life is changing (and i think it's funny how i'm kind of just realizing this now)

ah, well, i really should pay attention to this conference call :)

later!

big yawns and other things

hi all... :)

i can't believe i'm at my 18th week of pregnancy already... when did *that* happen? oh my! p and i were off to the hospital yesterday morning to have our all-important ultrasound. while they can tell the sex at 17-20 weeks or so, this ultrasound is actually to see that all fingers and toes and hearts are doing what they're supposed to... and i'm happy to report that we saw all forty little digits dancing about, two hearts beating, two brains a-buzzing. unbelievable! at one point, the stinker known as baby a (labeled as such due to its' slam-dancing method of being a baby) yawned and they caught it on their screen. very neat. baby b is the chill one and they already seem to be displaying their own little personalities.

i think i'm still in a bit of shock...can you tell?

*oh* and yes, we know who and what they are, but are saving announcements for after we tell our immediate families... dump trucks or ballet shoes? either way, you'll all have to start nailing down the furniture anyway, so get ready! :)

now hiring...

barack and joe are hiring! it doesn't exactly say what they're hiring *for,* but if the position could be something like the scene halfway between "30 Rock" coupled with the "West Wing," I'm in...

i guess my only question now is if there'd be a way to work for the white house and be *working from home.* me likey that idea.

hi there world

ooh, you found me... great! yeah, yeah, yeah... jon and kate may have eight, and those somewhat bizarre TLC people have 18 and change, but as of around the beginning of april or so, praying all is well, pete and amy will have two matching little indians. can you believe it? i'm starting to (largely due to the fact that i'm starting to look as though i'm smuggling a beach ball of sorts).
here's hoping all is well all around!
stay tuned for all sorts of fun blarney!
