It Ain't A Lot, But It's All I Have...
I'd like to think I'm getting better at this blogging thing, but I don't think I am... darn.
Today, I start with a question. An answer is not required, I just feel the need to express.
Does it hurt less to miss someone if you believe that you will see them again? I guess what I mean by this is, all the people out there that believe in God, do they believe in Him because believing gives them the hope that all the people they lose, they will see again one day, in some place with fluffy white cloud-cushions and harps playing in the background (clearly I'm not up on my Heaven references) 'Cause I mean, I could almost go for this God thing, if it gave me the opportunity to see all the people I've lost and all the people I miss again.
But, I don't get it. I don't understand how people who believe in God, can do it so vehemently.
Can anyone be that sure about anything?
Isn't there some doubt?
And then there are like different religions.
What if you pick the wrong one?
Is there a wrong one?
Are they all right?
And if so, how?
It just doesn't make sense... but I guess, it isn't suppose to, right? Wrong? I'm really not sure. Apologies for the rambling here. I've just been wondering lately if I'll ever get the chance to have one more conversation with someone that I miss.
I imagine I'm not the only one though.
Anyway, moving on, here is some awesomely-huge brilliant news!!! (drum roll)
Confirmation that Jellybean is a Unicorn!!! Hells yes!!! I'm thinking birth is going to be a bitch for Shorty, but hey, who doesn't want to give birth to a mythical creature, huh?
Joking aside, Jellybean is a perfectly healthy baby Girl!!! Growing normally, good strong heartbeat, all the right bones and... stuff. (I don't really know much more than that the ultrasound pic look like the Punisher)
So happy she's a girl!!! (I still would have loved her if she was a boy though)
Shorty and Blake are both ecstatic, as are all of the residents of the Asylum :D
Only a few more months until our newest resident arrives.
Telle and I are sourly lacking on our womanly skills, as we are yet to organize the baby shower, but we are working on it. Not really sure how to plan one, but I'm sure we'll work it out... if not... I'm sure Shorty will still love us... maybe.

So, that is pretty much my blog for the moment. Not very interesting, but hey, entertainment I am not.

You Move Slow Like Daytime Drama...
Okay, so I know, I have been slacking majorly on my blogging. This will not come as a shock to those of you who read the 'Introduction'
Here is a very short-- er... long-ish rundown on what's been happening...
Okay, so the pregnancy is going brilliantly.
:D
So excited about becoming an Aunty.
Jellybean started moving about three days ago. Shorty can now feel her when she does somersaults. So tute!!! (And yes, I say 'she' because I believe Jellybean is a girl, only two more weeks til we find out. Can't wait!!!)
I've already picked out about 147 things that I NEEEEED to buy her... and in the *highly unlikely* event that she is, in fact, a he... well, Imma need to pick out some new things. But I'm hopeful that she a little girl.
:D
33.3333% chance!!!
Also a 33.3333% chance that she's a Chantelle (that one you won't even understand if you've read the 'Intro' it's kinda a private joke.) :)
So, I'll let you know when I do. :)
More things that have happened... Hmmm... well, Telle and I have started sharing a room in the asylum, since we needed somewhere to put the nursery and we were all out of rooms. Telle pulled the short straw and ended up with me, which isn't really that bad, I don't think... I'll have to ask her. Though, I don't snore, so that's a plus.
Telle, however, sleep-talks, sleep-walks, sleep-spoons and sleep-just-about-every-other-random-thing-you-can-think-ofs.
It's nice to have company though. Makes me feel less alone... although, with the voices I'm never REALLY alone.
Peeky, (again, refer to 'Intro') is turning 3 tomorrow. April 1st for those of you that may have a different timezone.
It's hard to believe that she is only three. She's been through sooooo much in her few short years. I just think of her as being with me for my whole life so far. But, she is still a pup, and what do pups love? Treats!!! So I got her lots of treats for her birthday. I'm sure she'll love them... at least for a little while. Then she'll get sick of the treats, demand attention and want snuggles.
More things that have happened (and since I'm getting tired, this will be the last interesting thing I put on this post) we went to the Zoo!!!
Last week we (Telle, Shorty, Sami and I {and yes, I am aware that Sami is not in the 'Intro' package, an oversight on my part. I will give her a short reference at a later date, for now, I will give a short P.O.R. Sami, possibly the smartest of us all, is Telle's twin sister.}) all decided that we needed a Fun Day, so we went to Taronga Zoo. An awesome place. We got sooo many awesome pics, some of which I will add to the blog. It was an all round awesome day. We got some little things for Jellybean, and found a Rocking Lion that we must buy for JB, no matter the price. NO MATTER THE PRICE, I say.
Anyway, that's about it for now. I'll try to make my posts a little more frequent, but life has this talent for getting in the way of things like blogging, sleeping, eating, ect.
So, as per usual, here is my quote.
FREEDOM IS NOT WORTH HAVING IF IT DOES NOT INCLUDE THE FREEDOM TO MAKE MISTAKES -- MOHANDAS KARAMCHAND GANDHI
(I do feel it needed to be capitalized, for it is an amazing quote, by an amazing human being.)
Shorty
(Jellybean is in the photo, you just can't really see her... you know, since she's kinda in utero)
Telle
(My my what big ears you have :))
Sami
(And we discovered early on in the day that you CANNOT take a bad picture of Sami... she's like Barney from HIMYM)
Jes (aka Me, the one who always looks the dorkiest in the photos, yay...)
