misstery manners
ok. you know its bad when you learn about etiquette from the real housewives of orange county. It's even crazier when you watch the new season of the real housewives of NYC and you learn even more. Funny, they didn't cover the whole boobie in your face implants of orange county etiquette but im thinking that the ladies on that show could teach that class instead of paying some pearled uptight mim to school them on that. so my sister and i were appalled with how awful we are with table manners...not truly horrible...but leaning into your plate is a huge No-NO and that's how we eat. i totally lean in like the prisoner to my right might try to swipe a chunk of my pasta. so I am really- REALLY trying to sit up straight proper. like the southern belle i am learning to be. I was glad that I knew the proper fork positioning and the way to eat bread and butter.(which i do actually spend a lot of time eating!) So I watch these total trash shows and then last week at MOPS we had a lesson on etiquette which was cool b/c she actually taught us about the origins. So it's good to know that true etiquette was to keep the peasants in line. and i am nothing if not a peasant! A quick look at the calendar has alerted me that I have less than a month to prepare for outdoor soccer. And a true look at the calendar reveals that I haven't played outdoor soccer in TWO years. UGH. UGH. along with the 20 extra pounds of baby-creating flesh I am carrying around. this is a recipe for disaster. see previous post about wii-fit injury. I should be out jogging instead of here blogging with my coffee, but I am so over Facebook right now. so i am back in the blog world. days til april: 31, jogging hours needed: 62.

half year mark!
ok. it's the six month birthday for Carlin B! yahoooo. It happens to coincide with baby's daddy's birthday! wahooooo - steveO! so carlin's 6 month appointment went off without a hitch, unless you consider $346 eczema foam a hitch! EEEYIKES. it's ok as the good doctor gave me a card to get it for free, but still. I don't know that I can handle that price tag! the new liquid gold for babies! Well, as you can read, her food allergies are still crazy, it's just now i have a foam to put on it and it magically makes it disappear! like AWESOME! so that has me a bit concerned about what exactly I am smearing all over her body. Now if it will only cure her wild scratching! I feel so bad for the baby that can't sleep through the night b/c she is waking up madly scratching! so we are holding off the food til her face is really clear. oh the joys of being a moomoo cow. Now onto soccer news - the Womens Professional Soccer League will be starting this spring and to say I am excited is an understatement. Honestly, you know I wish Mia would just come out of retirement - at least to be a coach or analyst. it's just going to seem so amateur to me without her there. So you will be hearing alot about the Washington Freedom here and hopefully I can keep track of how Carli Lloyd is doing too. I wonder if they will have a fantasy league like they did for WUSA? This also means that this spring I will be heading to Maryland and watching these gals kick the ball around. And hopefully, baby Carlin can enjoy it as a baby. You got to start them early! 6 month baby weight: 18 lbs, weight %: 80, decrease %: 10.

praying blood sucking nurses
ok. so remember when i was complaining about baby Carlin's skin? Well... looks like it had nothing to do with cradle crap AND everything to do with mother's MILK. Thinking this might be the case, I voluntarily gave up coffee and chocolate...UUUGH! one look at little miss and doctor H says, uhhh - we need a blood test. I'm like oh yeah. great. then I get down to the lab where the flewbottomless, makes the sign of the cross- i shit you not and says let's hope this is easy. while I try to process what she means...and hold down a screaming baby in a vulcan death hold... I realize she is actually praying that she (the nurse) has God on her side and can get blood out of the tiny veins of a baby... NOT just a random christian moment. and VOILA! the blood starts flowing on her first try. and then miss bloodsucker exclaims" thank you jesus!" and makes the sign of the cross again. HELLO. way to scare the hell out of me! 
While she is doing the happy dance, I am freaking out about what miss Carlin can be allergic to...drum roll...5 days later... SESAME SEEDS! WTF. happens to be my favorite bagel and one that i actually CRAVED while preggers. and hummos is like my version of butter. so apparently i consume enough sesame seeds to creat a LOW allergy for miss C. EEEOUCH! Im so sick of food allergies. I really really am. 4 month weight: 16 lb, 1 oz(93%). 4 month height: 25.25"(85%)

three months
ok. Carlin is 3 months old! yay. how did that sneak up on me? she was just born! and this month is a doctor free month. so no weigh-in although you know i weighed her anyway. over 14 pounds. yikes! brother bill, auntie laura and cousin J-Bomb are on their way here for a fun weekend. it's billy's bday and somehow he and Steve got tix for the CAPS. So I decide to take Laura to J.Gilberts and enjoy some steak with the old foogies. It's so fun watching a 3 year old have hero worship with a 7 year old. And in case this is useful information to you, 7 year old boys do not create their Wii Mii as the image of themself. They take the liberty to create their own cartoon self which looks nothing like themself. Why am i so stuck playing by the rules and trying to create the perfect cartoon fatty? mount vernon admission: $12, chasing a 3 year old through a national landmark: priceless

two months with two kids = 1000
ok. back-dated for your pleasure! so i informed Carlin's baby doc that she cursed my baby at one month. b/c now she has some nasty baby acne/cradle cap and her complexion is a mess. one hot mess. bumps everywhere and i don't like it. i also don't want to take pictures of this so there aren't many pics of her at all and so now im already starting carlin on her "why my mom sucks" blog fodder. ugh - i had issues with steven and his cradle cap. and i dont want to deal with it this time. so as i am trying to find a two month picture of sweet C. it is hard. and i dont want to admit that i haven't taken any. oooh.
but the weather was amazing the other day and i threw her in this dress that she will never ever fit in again and that is a shame b/c she is so cute! she is smiling now. which is so amazing and worth every minute i spend being totally goofy just to get that one smile. Auntie KK is here to celebrate her 36th birthday. or at least she is here to celebrate her wii fit age. which is 36. and no i am not older than she is - we are 12 years apart. but when wii tells you that you are as fit as a 36 year old. you drop 49 in an instant. carlin's weight: 12 ib,4oz(83%), carlin's height: 23.5"(90%).
