Here is a little game for all of my blogging friends, which I stole from Chas. Below are six lies and two truths about little old me. Can you guess which two statements are true?
1. I read the newspaper every morning. Honestly, I don't even feed Porgie breakfast until I finish the paper.
2. When I first started dating my husband, he had blue hair. He was awesome!
3. I shave my legs at least once a week. If I don't, I feel gross.
4. My favorite food in the whole world is shrimp. Yum!
5. John and I moved in together while I was still in high school.
6. My husband is 10 years older than me.
7. Porgie is named after my mother.
8. I love to cook. I am always in the kitchen trying out new recipes.
A few of these statements are so wrong, it is almost funny. The first person to correctly identify the two truths will receive a very awesome gift.
So, lets see who knows me best!

Stream of Consciousness: Part 2
I had a dream last night that I was pregnant AGAIN. I was in the hospital, getting ready for my c-section. I had to share my room with Ana Nicole Smith and my obstetrician was Cher. How weird is that?
__________
We bought Izzy a new swing. It plugs into the wall instead of using batteries. It still won't push him very fast and he looks pretty frustrated every time I put him in it. I think he likes his old swing better, but what can we do? I guess he'll get used to it eventually.
__________
In an attempt to ease Porgie into the new nursing arrangement (nursing in Izzy's room), I have installed one baby gate. The first night, she stood at the gate crying, even though she could still get to the back of the house by going around the kitchen. I guess she really wanted to go down the hall, because it was quit dramatic. John is going to install the second baby gate this weekend. Then, Porgie will officially be trapped in the livingroom/dinning room area. She is going to be very pissed.
_________
I was supposed to go on a playdate yesterday afternoon. However, both of my babies were alseep in the afternoon. Those moments are so rare, that I had to cancel the playdate. Hopefully my friend C will understand.
__________
Izzy has become the king of catnaps. I have been attempting to put him down to sleep every two hours. This is a great plan, except for the fact that he will only sleep of 30-45 minutes. Its kind of irritating, but at least he is napping.
__________
I bought a book on potty training, just to get some information (I am not ready to embark on the potty training rollercoaster just yet). I was surprised to read that most kids aren't potty trained until age 3. Moreover, most kids can't effectively wipe after a bowel movement until age 4. Very interesting.
__________
I think I am going to start regularly doing stream of conscious type post, like this one. It is fun to write little snippets about the first things that pop into my head. What do you think?

Babies everywhere!
We watched my friend's daughter, who I'll call Bunny, on Saturday. Surprisingly, adding one more kid to the mix wasn't all that difficult. The only time Bunny cried was when John tried to feed her a snack, and her tantrum was short lived. Porgie didn't know what to think of her. She avoided Bunny for the majority of the day, preferring to hang out in the livingroom instead of the playroom.
Bunny's presence made me think about a possible baby number three. It really wasn't any more difficult to care for three children, than it is to care for two children. I wonder if you are so crazy after having two kiddos, that a third one wouldn't even phase you?
Of course, I am nowhere near ready to have another baby. Actually, I am not even ready to have sex yet. Way too scary. At my six week check-up, I got a prescription for the mini pill, but I never had the prescription filled. I am afraid that the pill will affect my milk supply. So, I have decided to practice abstinence instead. I think John might have a problem with this plan, but we are both too tired to even discuss it.
