I thought I’d mentioned the baby had a tooth.  It was one of the "surprises" when she was born… that and her hair.  I can still remember the doctor telling me the baby was coming, she could see her hair, and I just exclaimed, she’s got HAIR?  I could NOT believe that.  I was not born with hair.  Shabree was bald til she was 19 or 20 months, lol… Even Syd didn’t have hair, and she’s not even my biological child, but she is Jerry’s, and he’s losing all his hair, lol!  Anyway, the baby had a tooth, one little "pickle stabber" as Brian likes to call them (Brian is our former business partner… emphasis on the "former" part!… though we still like him as a person, though we DO wish he’d stop talking incessantly about his horrible ex-wives).  Anyway, the tooth WAS a surprise, however, Becca was also born with a tooth, so it’s Jerry’s genes.  Odd that two of his girls from two different wives should both be born with teeth.  Becca actually had two teeth when she was born.  They don’t know what happened to her teeth, but Kim managed to save Sammi’s for me in a plastic baggie, so I’ll probably make a small shaker out of it… I might even have already bought something that’ll be perfect.

I should go work on my last swap for November.  I’d like to get it out of the way, and I have to make 17 things, Chip and Dale themed.  I’m going to make some tags, and some shaker boxes.  I’ve got 16 stickers with various stickers left, so I was to try to get rid of some of the stickers.  I did laundry for a good bit tonight, I can usually mange to WASH the clothes, but I rarely manage to fold them, so I spent time last night and tonight folding clothes while washing some loads.  Now pretty much all I have are socks, and I DESPISE folding socks with a purple passion… so I’ll probably avoid it, or get the girls to do it, or SOMETHING.

I am starving… that seems to be one thing about nursing… I am always hungry it seems.  And usually for junk food, lol.. candy and sweets for the most part.  Though I do tend to crave steak as well… must need the iron or something.  I am not taking my prenatal vitamins like I should be, that would probably help cut down on the craving of the sweets as well.  If I would quit eating so many sweets, I’d PROBABLY lose weight, because nursing is supposed to burn about 1000 calories a day, whoohoo.  The other thing I need to start doing is exercising… walking.  Our new place is pretty close to some shopping, I could very easily walk down there and window shop…we’re still broke.  I called my mom today to ask for money so we can pay our house payments… I had to leave a message though, as she wasn’t home.  She hasn’t returned my phone call, not sure what to make of that, if anything… hopefully she’ll call tomorrow.

Hm, I’m mis-typing quite a bit, so think I will wrap this up and post… I ended up taking a nap tonight, so I’m only a little tired (we’ve all got colds around here, even the baby),  but for the most part, I’m pretty wide awake.  I should really work on that swap so I can get it out by the due date.  I’ve got to mail it out by the 30th.
