What's up with us

So this week, Eldon is traveling. What does this mean? We had popcorn for dinner last night at Target. The boys and mom get more TV in, and I go to bed when the boys do. It's my favorite thing.

I am trying to get ready for the little baby girl coming our way. Eldon has grand plans for the nursery so I haven't done much there, but slowly I am accumulating things I think I may need. I have hit a few wonderful sales for her next winter wardrobe, but am going to wait until the spring collection goes on sale for 0-6 months.

Thoughts about having a girl. I have always been a tom boy. Anything feminine I do or have has been completely because of Eldon. My poor mom had to wait for my sister to live out all of her little girl dreams. It's just not in me. I would darn straight rather watch a war movie, ball game, or crime drama than a chick flick anytime. I hate dresses. I endure jewelry. I don't mind wearing it once it's on, it is just the shopping for it and remembering to wear it that is a problem. I try to not be emotional, but I can't get rid of all the female genes. So the thought of a little girl is a little frightening.

I am so excited don't get me wrong. I guess I just look at how close my mom and I are and I am really excited to have that with a daughter. I don't know how to do hair, so I don't want her to be a freak. I hate giggling and drama. I promise I won't be a pagent mom. I wouldn't even know where to look it up online to read about it. I used to light Barbies on fire, so I will have to get over that. I might have to admit that lightsabers aren't the only cool toy and possibly learn something about fairies, princesses, and stuff. Not nearly as cool as the whole Star Wars/Harry Potter movement, but I guess I will survive. So, with all that being said, I'm sure this is really good for me.

Eldon and I swear that Max and Jack got the absolute best things we have to offer genes wise and we just hope that there are a few left. We both have many undesirable traits in us and in our families that we hope get passed by again. So for the next few months, I will be processing all of this, but I'm sure once I hold her, I will be just fine with a girl.
