Going public

Last week Miss Odessa Rose turned 1. That's right we managed to survive our first year of her life with our sanity relatively intact. My little girl looks so big now! She is starting to lose that baby look, yes Paul you are right she's looking more and more like a kid. It makes me sad to see that she is starting to lose some of her chubblies.

I'm not really sure what to expect over the next year as she approaches 2. I would like more giggles, big cutie-pie smiles and an uncontrolled flow of words. I'm hoping that her table manners will improve significantly and that she will one day say "Mommy I am done with diapers! I'm a big girl now and will use the potty perfectly and never have an accident." From me she will get lots of hugs and kisses and blows on her tummy. Hopefully mommy will keep her cool and not get too upset when she does all the things that toddlers do to drive their parents nuts.

Oh chubbly mommy loves you so much it hurts her heart.

So... Florida. I admit it's not so bad, if you don't mind having to drive everywhere, including the park! I'm warming up to being here. Still not to big on being in a not-so-pedestrian-friendly-area but it is what it is.

Odessa is walking. I am chasing.
I start classes in the fall. Part-time for now. One day I'll graduate and be gainfully employed.
I'm not sure how it happened but I'm a stay at home mom. Who'd a thunk it.
Odessa is not even a year old yet but she's already been asked to be a flower girl at two wedding this year. She's cute and she knows it too.
I am tired but do I take a nap while Odessa is napping? Of course not, I am foolish.
Thank goodness for coffee makers with thermal carafes.

After living in our brand spanking new condo for only a year we have to move out of it... to Florida. That's right we are moving out of New England to warmer climes. I hate moving but we will hire professional movers and get the full service. I won't have to pack anything! JD wants this to be as stress free as possible for me. Bless is heart, our last move was a nightmare and that was without and infant.

Here she is. Odessa Rose Adams made her debut March,19 2007 at 7:09pm

Here I am 32 weeks pregnant and all I can think about is that in 8 more weeks I'll be able to eat sushi again. I'm not afraid of laboring, I am afraid of having to get a c-section. I won't be requesting an epidural or any drugs. I have complete faith that JD will be a great help while I'm laboring. I am not worried that I will have a hard time breastfeeding. I'm not even concerned about how long labor might be. All I know is that in the end I'll be holding my baby and hopefully soon after stuffing my face with tuna nigiri.

Photographic evidence that there exists a Trish who is 32 weeks preggo. I didn't think that I would ever take photos of my belly but it's hard to resist the request of a friend.

At 32 weeks pregnant I:
-experience hip pain while sleeping
-pee a lot (big surprise)
-am still chasing the cat around the house trying to get it to stop jumping on counters and the kitchen table
-annoy my husband with my eating habits
-missing sushi
-waiting for my belly button to "pop"
-can now belch with the best of them (Where did all this gas come from?)
