Spicy enchiladas, pineapple, several long walks, two fetal monitoring sessions, and one round of acupuncture later, I am still pregnant.

I hope Figgy isn't trying to beat the record I set in utero.

he wasn't supposed to do that, but he had a wonderful time

Lucy has been telling a lot of stories lately, usually just to herself or her stuffed animals and we only get to catch snippets. But today she grabbed Shaggy's passport and asked us to sit down so she could read us all a story, and I tried to surreptitiously transcribe.

She's very experimental with language lately, sometimes going into complete nonsense sentences, so I didn't try to transliterate the parts that were completely unintelligible.

Her story below:

And one day, there was a man who lived in a little house near the forest
he often rode on a dinosaur
[??]
he felt very little lonely, if he wasn't supposed to do it.
the most story handsome all, that's when the pony began to wonder.
all for spring and autumn and winter and spring and Saturday, and Saturday.
[??]
a little man lived in a cottage nearby.
He did not do that.
If he wasn't supposed to do that in the name, he had a wonderful time.
and the closed book fairs, there's a small to listen to the book first, for rescue.
She always stays.
A Saturday a night day a fore day a soft day, he said.
And he sang a little yellow song.
[??]
She hadn't gone very far, if she didn't know that there was.

The end!

happy easter!

Lucy totally rocked Easter this year. She dyed eggs (quickly, and with a preference for yellow). After three hunts in two days she really got the hang of it, hunting down brightly colored plastic, eagle-eyed and swift.

She also rocked at various times a tutu, new silver saltwater sandals, a Swiss skiing headband, rabbit ears, and a gigantic smile.

Still pregnant.
