I don't really have a cohesive way to tie these thoughts together. So I thought a little list might do you good. And, for some reason, I feel the need to get these things out in the open.
1) The "As Seen On TV" section of Walgreens fascinates me. I could stand there for quite some time, taking in all the things that people have thought up to make life "easier." Some are interesting, while others do, in fact, make our lives and bathroom a lot cleaner.
Yes, I bought a Touch-N-Brush. Yes, it works. Yes, there is still toothpaste all inside our sink. But it's no longer on the counters and floor, which I consider a step up for us.
No, I will not photograph it because that would require me cleaning off the mirror and counter tops.
2) I purchased a Neti-pot. Here is proof of my purchase, if you need it:
In the not-so-distant past I claimed that this was the most hysterical thing I'd ever seen. I am officially recanting my less than uplifting statements in regards to the Neti Pot.
However, I continue to claim that it baffles me that water can run through my sinus cavities and pour out of my nostril. More importantly though, I must confess that it FRIGGIN' ROCKS and I will be a Neti Potter for life.
After getting a Z-pack from my midwife, I went to Walgreens, turned in my prescription, found a Neti Pot and stood in the "As Seen On TV" section until my prescription was ready.
After a couple of uses the Neti Pot flushed out ALL OF THE INFECTION in my sinuses before I finished my Z Pack. By day 5 I was feelin' good.
Miracle worker, I tell ya. Mir-a-cle.
And now, for a formal apology to someone very special...
Dear Chris Thompson,
I formally apologize to you for ever dissing the Neti Pot. I see now that you are a man of great wisdom and hair. Please accept this formal apology for what it is worth. And, I will cook you and the Mrs. a dinner really soon. If you can pencil us into your busy schedule. And if I have not delivered a baby by then. And if I am not attending a Neti Pots anonymous meeting.
Sincerely,
Me.
3) We have tentatively decided on a boy name. No, I will not tell you. You can continue to wait for 6 more weeks. However, I asked Luke if we were sure about this name and his response was, "Yes. For now."
I guess that means we are as sure as we cannot be.
If that last sentence makes sense to you, will you explain it to me?
4) Luke and I made another major purchase this weekend, WITHOUT going into debt. It is similar to this purchase we made just over a year ago. And, I can't wait to fill you in on the details later this week.
Be prepared people. When we go BIG we go BIG.
5) 6 more weeks til this baby is due, yet everyone I know thinks I won't make it a full 6 weeks. Most people said the same thing with the twins, yet I was induced at 38 weeks (which is considered 40 weeks with twins).
Who gets induced with twins?
Apparently, I do.
6) I saw some puppy training pads at Walgreens during my visit the other day. I'm wondering if I should get some to potty train Aaron. He poops 7-9 times a day and I really don't want to deal with that in underwear. What do y'all think?
7) I am amazed that a Neti pot cost $8.99 and yet an enema only $2.99. Aren't they basically the same thing?
8) I bought an exercise ball to sit on to relieve the pressure from my back and hips. If you come to my house and I answer the door sitting on a large, plastic ball. Pay me no mind, pay me no mind. It's heavenly I tell you. Like sitting on a large, plastic cloud.
9) Baby Girl's adoption will not be done before Feb 1st. Which bums me out, but I am trusting in God's perfect timing. The 10 day waiting period will begin when the social worker delivers one last piece of paperwork to our house.
10) I have somewhat re-entered the world of Twitter. But, I don't feel it deserves a spot on the blog until closer to time when the baby comes (which is the purpose for me re-entering the world of twitter). If you'd like to see my Tweets you can go here.
And now I feel really dirty for asking "if you'd like to see my Tweets" so I'm gonna stop now.
Happy Monday y'all.
