More freaking snow.

There are another gazillion inches of snow today. And it's the heavy, sticky kind. I keep hearing the snow clogging up the snowblower outside. Poor Jen, it is taking a lot longer today. (Although it is still better than shoveling!) There seems to be a ton. Sucks. I may never see my mailbox again. It is after 11am and Jen is still not at work. The plows didn't even do our street until 9 or so, so what are you gonna do? I hope her boss doesn't expect her to make up the time, but he probably does. *sigh*

My friends Eryn and Amy had a baby boy the other day - so exciting! He was a little guy (6lbs 8oz, I think) and the first thing I thought of was, "Oh, I bet they don't have a lot of newborn-size clothes." Everyone always tells you not to bother but let me tell you, when you have a small baby, you wish you bothered! I went through Punk's old stuff today and found the NB stuff that wasn't pink or a sundress (silly July girl babies) and packed it up for them. It's nice to think someone else will get some use out of them... but when I picked up the stuff I couldn't believe how small it was. And to think that Punk wore NB stuff for a long time because she was such a peanut! Yesterday in BRU we saw some NB-sized diapers (Pampers Swaddlers like in the hospital) and holy crap, they are small. Likewise, Punk wore those for a long while. And they are TINY. Guh. Where does the time go?

somerandomchic and boisestudley had a baby girl the other day, too - Elsie Jane. I am anxiously awaiting pictures. I need newborn pictures, dammit! :)

Back to the snow - I can't believe how much frickin' snow we have already gotten this winter. Last year it didn't snow at all until February. I guess this is payback. Blarg. I was supposed to have an ENT appointment at 10am today but I rescheduled it. I am not going A-N-Y-W-H-E-R-E today until the coast is clear from all of the icky white stuff.

I am such a snow hater. Why are all of the safe places to live either a) cold and snowy or b) ridiculously expensive or c) both? So unfair. SO unfair.

Yeah, your kids are skinny minnies! Punk is in size 3 diapers when we wear disposables (Pampers Baby Dry) but she has a high rise so never gets to wait until the weight limit. She's also ridiculously long so outgrows shirts quickly (helped by bulky cloth diapers) and we have to be careful with pants.

I don't have any Gymboree clothes. I don't even think we have a Gymboree store near here. I don't know. I got a lot of stuff from FreeCycle and the thrift store.
