  • and Ben think it’s so funny that Thane nurses with his pinkie up. #
  • likes Rinah’s song, “God loves Rinah, uh-huuuuuh.” LOL. #
  • is happy that her son is walking around singing, “Happy, happy, happy, happy.” #
  • can’t believe all three kids are asleep at the SAME TIME. #
  • has 9 toenails and her son has 1 eyebrow … stuff keeps going missing. #
  • ’s heart melts when Thane smiles or Rinah says “Pweeeease” or Valor comes and says “Tiss” and kisses her. #
  • never noticed the in-law problems in Sleeping Beauty when she watched it as a child. #

  • has had her clothing and parts of the house slimed with snot, drool, vomit, blood, and poop in the 1.5 hours. On the upside, no pee so far. #
  • loves the soft air today, the sunshine, happy babies who are now napping, and a yummy roast beef sandwich. #
  • is 37 weeks and measuring 40 cm. Looks like baby is at 8 pounds. #
  • loves getting ready for bed by candlelight, something started a few weeks ago … it’s scented with essential oils. #
