The News

20 inches of snow are expected here in the next 24 hours. They're calling it a "Top 5 storm", meaning it will be among the 5 biggest storms on record here. The grocery store was a total zoo yesterday. School was canceled for Friday by Thursday afternoon - and it isn't going to start snowing until this afternoon (Friday). People are kinda acting like the end of the world is coming.

I had a "nickel auction" last night - guests each bring $5 worth of nickels and 3 things to auction off. Only 4 people came which was a big bummer. But it was still fun to sit around and chat with girlfriends. The biggest buzz was created by a pair of earrings that went for 45 nickels.

Our family has big plans for building an igloo tomorrow.

And lastly, I am finally with child. The latest Worth should arrive late September to early October. I am flat out admitting that I hope this is a girl. Because, one, my family goes girl, boy, boy, girl (and I'm that #4 girl!) so it would be fun to repeat that, and two, because this baby is sleeping in Naomi's purple princess castle room whether it's a boy or girl. We are so excited. I've only been to the Dr. once yet, but things look good. I actually managed to keep this a secret from most of my friends and family for a whopping three weeks. That's a new record for me. I'm not very good at keeping this kind of thing to myself. It's too exciting! Plus, I feel like poo and I want people to know why I'm suddenly a total party pooper. The Dr. has me on progesterone (just to be safe) twice a day and each time I take that little round pill it makes me so dizzy that I have to lay down for an hour. But I'm not complaining (much) because I'm so happy that this baby is finally on his/her way.

And that's the news.

G-R-E-A-T news... Congrats to everyone!

Naomi and Mom will be delighted to have another girl in the house! (plus it makes an even gender's number - but in the other hand it would be so funny to hear Richard's opposition to lay his baby in a purple girly room if a son comes at the end... I'm laughing already!) :)

Sorry I couldn't make the auction last night - and I didn't even manage to bring over my items! Oh brother. I've clocked out.

Awesome!! You know what's funny? Just yesterday I asked mom if you were pregnant yet. She kind of stumbled and didn't know what to say, and then just said no comment. I hope you get the girl you wish for (and if not, the next one after that can always be a girl right?)

I had to take that little pill when I was pregnant with B. It make me feel like my skin was crawling and when that was over like I needed to pull out my hair. Hormones do crazy things to us ladies.

So, just when I get a system down for keeping up on tweets (but am behind on reading blogs) you go and change your announcement venue... :) Congratulations; I hope things continue to go well!

Wonderful news!
Good thing I have insomnia tonight, or who know when I would have heard.
Stay warm out there.
