No April Fools Here, Just April THRILLS

Happy April everybody! I for one am glad to kick March Madness out the door. For you see, ever since March 7th, the night of the Great Blizzard of ’08, someone has been sick in my house. First Joshua, then Sophie, then last week Bobby’s butt was kicked by a bronchial infection, and now it’s my turn. I’ve got a sore throat and ears but no fever or anything that could qualify me for a “real” illness, that would necessitate days in bed resting or a prescription that would net me a $25 CVS gift card. Nooo, I’m not that lucky. But anyhoo, we have a lot to look forward to here at Mommin’ It Up in April. So stay tuned!

First of all, Emily is going to thrill us by having another baby!! And more importantly, once it is born she will no longer be able to hide the gender from me! Hallelujah! The suspense is really killing me on that one, but now we have new drama. Will the baby turn on time? Will Emily have a vaginal birth or c-section? Induced or scheduled? OR will her water just break? I’m on the edge of my seat!!

Mid-month, I’m going to be taking an adventure of my own. I’m going out of town for two days. Like, way out. On an airplane. BY MYSELF. With no hubby or babies!! Now since I am a big baby myself and haven’t flown in five years, I am already sweating about whether I will survive the plane ride, and if I DO, how will I EVER make it from the airport to the hotel BY MYSELF with no car??? Such things terrify me!! Can I handle it or will I just crumple up into the fetal position at baggage claim? Since Sophie shows no signs of weaning, will she survive while I am gone? More importantly, will her tempestuousness and longing for Mama KILL my husband while I am gone? Will I be able to pump enough while I am there or will my breasts explode and flood my entire hotel with milk? The cliffhangers are just myriad in numbers, my peeps!

One more April Thrill to look forward to: after Emily pops that baby out, we are going to have a really awesome contest to celebrate! That’s right, it’s a Baby’s Birthday Giveaway and you are gonna LOVE it. I know you will all be racing to leave your comments on the contest post as soon as you see it!

So thanks for sticking with us through the March Madness! But let’s move on to April Thrills together!

Meme-licious!

Tiffany at Lattes and Life and Piper at Bliss in Bloom both tagged me for very similar memes. So, I am going to incorporate them together. Tiffany’s requires 5 random things about me and 5 places I’d like to see or see agian, and Piper’s required 6 random things about me, so here ya go: 6 random things about me and 5 places I’d like to see or see again!

1) I have never had a cavity, despite the fact that I’m not the most faithful flosser
2) I drink a glass of chocolate milk every morning
3) I don’t miss working, but I do miss getting dressed up for work
4) I had my appendix out when I was 18
5) I really hate clipping my toe nails
6) I’m so vain, I probably think this meme is about me

5 places I’d like to see or see again:
1) Punta Cana, Dominican Republic (see again!)
2) Hawaii
3) Boston
4) Philadelphia
5) Isle of Palms, SC (see again)

Ok, I’ve just depressed myself with how boring I am. But…there you have it! Try not to be too fascinated! Did you see anything we have in common? I’m not going to tag anyone, but feel free to grab this and play along if it strikes your fancy!
