Do I Really Need a Title?

News:

It's hunting season.

Mom and Dad had the VPA board luncheon on Friday and Susan, Joseph and I helped. We are all glad it is over. The food from the River Market was very yummy.

Tball and the picnic has been extended another weekend because one game got rained out. Emma gets better every week. She can hit the ball all by herself with that big black bat now.
My last day at Kathy's was on the 6th. I am working more days at the Rapahannock Record. I decided that the tax season stress that I put on myself is not worth all the worry during this pregnancy. I'm due again at the end of April, so probably won't make it to the end of tax season anyway.

Emma is loving Kindermusic. She asks to go there after a couple of days have gone by and we haven't been there. She also has started asking for food before I suggest anything. Rice Krispies, "crabbies" (steamed crabs), ghetti.

Thursday I went to the doctor because I wasn't feeling quite right. Everything turned out okay. Janet couldn't find the heartbeat with the doppler so she did an ultrasound and saw a moving, kicking, arms-flailing baby! Very weird to see something onscreen moving in my body and not feeling it. Yikes! The picture printout does not do justice to what I saw on that screen. Amazing. Fingers, toes, spinal cord, and the heart beating. Only 12 weeks along! 6 more months to go! Maybe 5!

We went out to dinner Saturday night for Joseph's birthday and Emma did well considering we didn't get there until 6:30. I fed her dinner before we left the house and she ate a little off of everyone's plate and some soup, pretty much another dinner! And she sat in Lindsay's lap and called her "winsee".

Emma says: You okay mommy? It's alright mommy! I love you mommy! Sorry mommy. I a good girl. I have manners! I want to wear my flashlight shoes. I like to go to the bank. Where is the library? Bettie Wee! Fred! Marfa! Chas comin' over for dinner? No no Dot! Shelby's a bad girl! Odie's a good boy! Wanna go out, Dot? Okay, go out! Daddy, wear your Junior shirt.
