This am in the car:

Bethie: Mom, I still have these little bumps on my legs.

Ike: Mumps.

Me: Yup. Leg mumps.

Bethie: What? What are Leg Mumps?

Me: They’re caused by a certain type of worm that gets in your body.

(Pause)

Bethie: I’m not falling for that.

Sigh. Another fun era has ended. 😞

One time Daddy told me that our last name is French, and it means French Fry. Then I told all my friends at school and everybody laughed at me!

Walker and I just had a long, thought provoking, humbling and somewhat painful conversation. We were trying to recall the last time our children had a bath.

Shep and ER fight like an old married couple. Yours too?

This is it. Walker is supposedly going to make the call to Dr Snip Snip. I want more but my old body - man, it has been put thru the ringer. And this last scare....I mean obviously we are not good at not getting pg since we have 3 precious surprises. My body is very unregular. And evidently loves to conceive. Which is a good thing, but.  I do want to adopt and if we make more then we can't do that. I can't even think about when we will adopt tho. All along I have told myself this is my last one, so mentally I am ok, or as ok as I will get. But I will always be jealous of women having babies :( I don't love the pg part so much, but going to the hospital to have a baby is my fave thing in the world to do. So it is very bittersweet. I am enjoying every little kick. And this is the kickingest baby yet.
