We took it "To the Zoo" (the name of the pattern of the main fabric)...
And now we just wait for it to be filled with the best thing of all...

Room for Parker
12/28/10
Well, we've made room for Parker...
and made a room just for him!
We took it "To the Zoo" (the name of the pattern of the main fabric)...
and filled it with books to read, blocks to stack, toys on strings to pull, diapers to change, stuffed giraffes, monkeys, and elephants to hold.
And now we just wait for it to be filled with the best thing of all...

Yes, I broke the rules yesterday...the rules of bed rest.
I actually broke them in more ways than one.
I not only left the confines of my bed and the confines of the inside of my house. I left my residence all together. But I won't get into justifying why actually leaving was for a worthy cause. I'll just back up to the part where I went outside my back and front doors and show you photos that I took of Jake (and half of Jim since just his legs are showing) when he went frolicking in the snow - the photos where sharks (the forms in which his hats and mittens are made of) meet snow flurries...
Definitely...
most definitely...
worth getting out of bed and breaking the rules for!

to post my "What I'm Loving" this week.
But since I didn't...here goes...
I'm loving...
that we've watched snowflakes fall on and off for the past two days.
that mine and Parker's bags are p.a.c.k.e.d. Yep! He and I are ready and set which means now the thought of hearing that it's Go time doesn't freak me out so much.
celebrating Christmas with my family - the people I love most in the whole wide world.
Ice! I've never been an ice-eater in all my life, but it's now my any-time-of-day (or night), gotta-have-it craving. Weird, I know.
that my mom is still here (she decided to stay behind yesterday and let my dad, sister, and niece leave without her) and has done so much like cooking us a full-fledged breakfast this morning and helping Jim make our house look like Christmas never happened (except for all the new toys that are ev-er-y-where that Jake has acquired over the last twenty-four hours, of course).
that earlier this week marked the beginning of a long break from a little thing I do for nearly forty hours each week called work (a break until January 3rd to be exact). Can I get a woo hoo?!

Fellow blogger, former co-worker, and friend of mine, Kayla, tagged me recently in one of her posts, and now it's up to me to reveal seven things you may not know about me.
By the way, I love, love, love Kayla, and if I could, I would clone two of her at the age of two and have arranged marriages for Jake and Parker. Just sayin'.
So here goes:
I own every single episode of every season of Dawson's Creek. And if it weren't for the time I spend catching up on my current reality TV shows, I would watch them over and over again in any spare time I had to actually sit down and watch TV.
I once played a dog in an elementary school play. That's about all I'll say about that.
When I'm in the mood, one of the loves of my life is to clean, but I absolutely hate to dust. I give credit to my mom for that one because that's just about the only chore she gave me when I was growing up.
Another thing I absolutely hate to do is say Goodbye.
Something I never learned to do is skate backwards. Roller skate, ice skate, you name it. Only forward motion for me. But you better believe I worked it out going in that one direction I knew how.
Another thing I've never learned to do is crochet. I have an aunt that used to do it for hours on end but somehow never picked up on her talent. But now since I really, really want to see Parker wearing those to-die-for cute beanie hats, I've put it on my list of New Year's Resolutions for the coming year.
And last but not least, I think one of the hardest things to go through in life is losing a pet. Gets me every single time, and some I never get over.

From Our Family to Yours!
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. ~Isaiah 9:6

Oh yeah, I'll definitely be here.
And enjoying the look of Christmas tree ornaments...
and the stockings that hang from our mantle.
I'll also still be wearing Parker around my waistline.
Because he and I are doing wonderfully.
We've been doing almost absolutely nothing but chillin' like villans.
I say almost because he is as active as ever (he's definitely breaking the mold when it comes to "slowing down that last month" like most babies his gestational age do), and me...well, I took photos this afternoon of the Christmas decorations we finally finished putting out (before my twenty-four hour stay in Labor & Delivery) from the comfort of my couch and recliner (And yes, I'm resting now in case you were wondering. Laptops...what would we do without them, right?)
I do have one more thing I need to do before I call it a night, though, that's definitely worth me getting out of bed for.
Cookies, Milk, Criss Cross Crash, Ho Ho Ho...need I say more?!
Merry Christmas Eve, Everyone!

High Blood Pressure: 159 over 113 when I arrived at my doctor's office yesterday morning
Admission to Labor and Delivery: A pair of these,
four viles of blood, automated blood pressure checks every thirty minutes, collecting urine samples for twenty-four hours straight, listening to Parker's hiccups, movements, and heartbeat, and sending the love of my life out at odd hours for magazines and sour gummy worms
Getting this today
and being able to spend Christmas at home with my family: Priceless!
