Ultrasound pictures, and a little musical number from The Three Amigos!
I had my ultrasound this morning. The whole family came. Ned was the only one that really understood what was on the screen, but they were all happy to be there. Lucky and Dusty were more fascinated by my bare belly than the monitor.
Here are some of the pictures we got a few weeks ago. Something was not working on my Photoshop today so I do not have any from today. Sorry.
The Three Amigos are very excited. They prepared a little song and dance for their baby, and to introduce our baby's blog name to you.
It's my new favorite song! We can't wait to meet you, Buttercup!

Going Green
Well, I don't know if this qualifies as going green, but we did do some recycling today. My boys will be home from school for four days (and that is following Dusty being home sick for three days) and I needed to keep them busy and me from going crazy. I was cleaning out the crayon tub and started to throw away the tiny pieces when I remembered that I had always wanted to recycle crayons.
First we unwrapped the old crayons.
Then broke them into smaller pieces. It was a little harder for some of us than others.
Put them in a muffin tin with liners.
Melted them in the oven (Dusty sat there for almost 20 minutes watching them melt).
When they were done cooling the boys unwrapped them and were thrilled with the results.
It was a very fun project for the Amigos and kept them busy for almost two hours, plus the time they spent coloring afterwards.

I Love LIFE
El Guapo and I have been married for ten years. It is amazing how much life can change in just 10 years.
When I was a little girl I loved to play The Game of LIFE. I have never been very interested in board games, but one that you get married and have kids, that's my kind of game! I would even play it by myself, spinning the wheel over and over until I landed on the Getting Married, Baby Boy, Baby Girl, or Twins spaces (whew! glad that last one never happened in real life!) So, when I heard a song called The Song of LIFE on the kids radio station it immidiatly brought back memories and I thought it was a great theme song for me and El Guapo. I love El Guapo and I am glad he is the little blue peg sitting next to me in the game of life.
This video is not a very good version, but it is the only one they had on YouTube.
Check out the lyrics below.
Or click HERE to listen on ScribbleMonster's music player on their Myspace page. It obviously sounds much better than the one on YouTube. Once you are there you will have to choose The Song of Life from the list.
THE SONG OF LIFE

Words and music by James Dague
Sung by ScribbleJim
Every time that I play LIFE
I chose you to be my wife
We ride around in a plastic car
Tiny pegs are all we are
It doesn't matter what job I find
You're always there, you're still my bride
Sometimes I teach, sometimes I write
A doctor, lawyer, it's all alright
'Cause I, love you
And I, love LIFE
We'll buy a house and have some kids
No more that four or they won't fit
Our girls are pink, the boys are blue
Our little girl looks just like you
We might be broke or might be rolling in dough
Where this road leads, I don't know
It's all a part of playing the game
I wouldn't have it any other way
'Cause I, love you
And I, love LIFE
How I, love you
And I, love LIFE
And on the day of reckoning,
I'll spin the wheel, bet everything
It doesn't matter if I win or lose
I always win when I'm with you
'Cause I, love you
And I, love life

Lighten Up!
I feel like I need to lighten the mood here on my blog. I don't like to be a complainer, and I can't stand that the last post has been sitting there at the top of my blog for so long. So, I decided to tell you a couple of funny things that made me laugh yesterday.
I was talking to El Guapo about how our bodies have changed so much in the past (almost) ten years since we got married. He has been so annoyed that he is starting to gain weight in his tummy. I tell him that he is just finally getting a 'Daddy belly' and I love it! He said, "I have lived my whole life without a father figure, I don't need one now!"
Earlier in the day I was talking to my little sister about our skin and the fact that mine has not been that great for the last couple of years (pregnancy and nursing was good to me, but then I took a little break from that and my skin was not happy). She told me about some face wash that she just bought and it reminded me of a funny thing that happened last year with Dusty. This is a story that I would normally put on the boys' individual pages (if you click on their pictures on the sidebar you can read funny things that they have said or done) but I just wanted to share it here because it was just too hilarious to hide on his page that no one visits.
Two years ago, around Christmastime Dusty said, "I totally want that!" at every toy commercial. Then last year he started in the summertime to say, "I totally want to get that for you." to any commercial that had to do with women. Dove, Colgate Total, Tide, Summer's Eve, etc. It was too funny. Well, one day a Proactive commercial came on and Dusty said, "Mommy, I want to get that for you." He then turned around to look at me and said, "Oh, you already have that." I thought it was interesting that he said that, then I realized that he was talking about the BEFORE pictures. Yes, I did already have that. Nice.
Well, it was really nice to have a little laugh yesterday. I hope it made you laugh too.

If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all.
Many of you know that I am pregnant. It has not been much of a secret since my (dear, sweet) husband decided to announce it on his Facebook less than a week after we found out! I'll admit it took me a while (probably until I saw the cute, little baby on the ultrasound a few weeks ago [see photo on my sidebar]) to get used to the idea, but I am happy about it and can't wait to have this baby join our family.
That is my excuse for not posting here lately. I get very sick (even on medications) for the entire pregnancy. It is hard to describe it to other women that don't feel like this during their pregnancies (so I won't try). It's just pretty horrible, and let's just face it, I don't have many nice things to say about it. I have even had a hard time posting updates on my Facebook status. All I really want to say is... Scrappy is counting down the minutes until she can take another Zofran. or...Scrappy wishes she was asleep because that is the only time she feels well. or...Scrappy hopes her children's brains don't turn into mush because of all of the video games and TV. Yeah, not very nice at all.
I really do have nice things to say though. I have had so many people offer to help. I am overwhelmed by the kindness and generosity of others. It is really hard to let people help me, but when I ask other people if they need something I want them to tell me what I can do, and I assume that is what others want too. I think we will all be blessed for their kindness, especially them.
So, if you don't hear from me much for a while, just know that I am happy, but just trying to make it through. I will get back to posting when I have a lot of nice things to say. :)
