Forever Onions

Did you know that if you keep the roots of your green onions, place them in a bit of water by sunlight, they'll keep growing?? I think it's so cool!! Now, I can't say how long they keep doing this for, as I've just started this Sunday (look how much has grown since then!) but hey - I'm cutting my budget. 89 cents at a time!!

Baby Belly Progress Report

Here are some facts I can update you on:

Belly Size: 39" (up 10 from normal size)
Weight: 135lbs (which is up 20 from my regular weight)
Weeks: coming up on 25
Mat Leave: scheduled for Aug 1
Sex: still don't know
Feet: still fitting into my heels. Woohoo!
Heat: every once in a while I feel warm, but for most part I'm still my cool, refridgerator self.
Hands: rings are still moving around smoothly
Discomfort: sometimes the right side of my mid-back is sore, but nothing a chiropractor can't fix!
Appetite: huge and GROWING! Eating good portions and eating often!
Cravings: nothing really other than that normal 'mmm, ribs sound really good right now'. I am eating more ice cream and sour candies than usual, but nothing that I HAVE to have. Which I'm sure Miles is grateful for.
Energy: feel pretty good. Every once in a while still need an afternoon nap, but not all the time.
Movement: I can feel kicking and rolling around from both babes. And I can tell who is doing what, which is totally awesome :) The kicks are visual now, if you're watching at the right time. Every once in a while Baby B (who we call Bubba) likes to roll and stretch, which makes the right side of my belly hard and stick out, and I'm totally left lopsided.
Clothes: I have officially put all my old pants and skirts away and most shirts. I can still get away with some of my older shirts.
Shopping: I've started my registry at Babies R Us. I've never registered before, and can I just say? It's so much fun!! It's like shopping without spending money.
Babies' Room: still an office. Yup, I'm a slacker. I'll get to it, little by little.

So here's a quick shot of how we entertain ourselves at work...

The page says:
Our Goal: (being my department)
To make it to end of term (Sep 15) thereby allowing OS to complete the transition.

Shani's Goal:
Not to give birth at reception ie to make it to Sep 1 with two healthy babies.

Then, as you can see, they make a chart of my progress...
