T.V. Alternative

There are two t.v. shows that I would love to have on DVD. One is The Wonder Years. Does this exist? And if not, then why not? That was the best show ever on t.v. in my opinion. Everyone was rooting for Kevin and Winnie. Everything about this show was good, the cast, the music, the clothes, the storylines.
The other show is Family Ties. For some reason I have been thinking about that show alot lately. BUT, I cannot think of the theme song. The only part I can remember is the "sha-na-na-na" part. But, I also get it confused with the theme from Growing Pains... "As long as we've got each other, we've got the world spinning right in our hands...." How did the Family Ties one go? Please help, it is driving me crazy!

Special Guest Stars

Couple things... first of all, Sarah Curry, my college roommate and fellow
mom-to-be-again, sent me this article about her husband, Jesse. Check it out and pray for Jesse , Sarah and family while you are at it. (Oh yeah, and applaud my ability to successfully make a link.)
Also, my friend, Jennifer, sent me this funny e-mail about baby names:

This weekend I watched a VH1 special on celebrity baby names, it was so funny I had to write the names down. Girl Names...HeavenGod'iss Love StoneReign BeauStoryDreamTu MorrowPumaPoppy HoneyDaisy BooSaffron SaharaTalullah PineTrue Isabella SummerOceanFifi TrixiebellePixie Peaches HoneyblossomDixie DotBoy Names...BanjoJermagestyPirateKydDenimDieselSevenScience (middle name)Hopper JackSonnetRebelRacerRocketRougeCashPilot Inspektor

What are these people thinking? Do they think that because they are famous thier children will be immune to mockery and people saying "Your name is what?" I am all for unique names, but this is too much.

Cinderella

Catching up on some much needed housework today. I really hate doing the dishes. I have not done them in a few days so they are piled up and somewhat stinky. I don't know what I hate more, piled up stinky dishes or washing the piled up stinky dishes.
I also made the bed this week. I NEVER make the bed. It seems like a pointless effort to me. It just gets messed up again every night. Granted, it is more comfortable to go to sleep in a freshly made, tucked in bed, but then you have to do it all over again the next day. Fruitless...
I also have to fold laundry today which I find strangely relaxing.
I think stay-at-home moms should get paid by someone, the governement or something. We are helping to make our children better members of society and preparing our men to work their hardest.

Throes of the First Trimester

Oh yeah, it's all coming back to me now..the nausea, the absolute exhaustion, the grumpiness. It's a wonder people keep on having babies. I really feel as if I have been run over by a truck every single day. Poor Joel hasn't had many decent meals this week or any decent anything else if you know what I mean.
I am seven weeks along and am due May 20th, 2006. Exactly one year and five days after Oliver's due date. This time around is so different. I don't want to say that it is not as exciting, but I guess the novelty has worn off. With Oliver we made these grand announcements and planned it all out how we would tell people. Now we're like, "Oh yeah, we're pregnant again." Poor child, we really do love you. I go for an ultrasound on Tuesday. Can't wait to see the little bean with a heartbeat.
The best reaction we have gotten is from my nephew who is a freshman at Eastern University. When I told him he said, "Becka...you little slut!"
In other news, Oliver is going to be a chili pepper for Halloween. Wish I knew how to post pictures...

Little Big Brother

Well, we found out last week that little Oliver is going to be a big brother!! A bit of a surprise, but still a blessing. I'm a bit overwhelmed at the thought of two babies - Oliver will only be 1 when the new one arrives!
More to write, but the big bro demands to be fed!
