16 pound baby born in East Texas! (WHOA!) How big are your babies?

My sister-in-law and I joke all the time about how our babies, this-go-round, are going to be opposite of the last babies we had. My babies have progressively gotten bigger. (All born circa 38 wks.) Kylie - 7 lb 14 oz Braxton - 8 lb 8 oz Hawk - 9 lb 6 oz My sister-in-law's babies are considerably smaller, like 6 lb (sorry, E, I can't remember exactly). We've joked and joked that this time, it's going to be the opposite.  She keeps saying she's going to have the whopper and I'm going to have a little one.  Fat chance!…

So what are we going to name this baby?

This morning we took the IntelliGender test and the results showed that we are having a boy. Out of nowhere I asked the boys, "So what are we going to name this baby?" Wouldn't you they had great answers. Brax: Darth Vader Hawk: How Luigi? Braxton: Anakin. Oooh, Anakin Skywalker from Episode 3. Andy: I like that. Anakin Skywalker from Episode 3 Johnston. What if it's a girl? Braxton: It's not. That thing said boy? Andy: But what if its wrong? Braxton: Its not. Andy: Ok. What if the test had been yellow and it said it was a girl?…

Texas Rangers Fan falls to his Death in front of 6 year old Son

I love baseball. It is not only my favorite sport, but one of my passions. My kids play ball. We watch baseball on TV. We go to MLB games. Heck, we're even stalking the new minor league team stadium being built less than 3 miles from our house. Stoked, I tell you. Yesterday was a sad, sad day in baseball.

Facebook cited in 1 in 5 Online Divorce Petitions

A friend of mine on one of my Facebook groups asked a great question: Do you ever look up ex-boyfriends or crushes on Facebook?  Do you contact them, or do you just snoop. I have several exes on my Facebook friends list.  Some, aren't. I also have some exes that I avoid like the plague!

Mobile Breastfeeding Truck – Lactivism or Counterproductive?

I checked out this article that a friend of mine posted on Facebook (thanks Amanda) about a woman in Pittsburgh who has this vision to buy an ice cream truck, stick a giant boob on top, and park in front of the public places where women are harassed for breastfeeding in public! PREFACE: Now, I'm allllll for breastfeeding in public.  It's actually my right to breastfeed in public if I so wish.  It's actually the law - breastfeeding in public is legal in Texas. I Breastfeed in Public. But you'd never know it. I'm extremely discrete, and my goal is…
