"Once upon a time, in a kingdom far away, in a place called New York. . ."

The above quote was overheard a few minutes ago, as I was checking my email and Zoey was telling Puppy a story. Can you tell her parents are a teacher and a writer? I was so pleased with her storytelling. The story she continued to tell was about Ollie, who would come out one day and not have any teeth. I can't get enough of this kid!

Well, today is the ONLY day that Matty and I didn't want to have Ollie--who would want an April Fool's birthday? Of course this probably ensures that I will have him at some point today! I'll deal--I'll plan practical jokes for every party. Just get this kid out of here! Actually, things are ok, other than feeling so huge and uncomfortable.


Anyway, that's all for now. I found my East of Eden book and would like to finish it before Ollie arrives. I like to start new books with new occasions of my life. My pre-maternity leave started with Pillars, next went to Hotel New Hampshire, and will now be completed with East of Eden. What an eclectic mix of books?! For the 3 am breastfeedings, I'd like to find a HUGE book to get me through.

Going to put clothes away and then read for awhile. The snow is almost gone, the heat is turned off for the day, and Zoey and I went out without coats this morning :) I'm ready for the next thing.

anxiously awaiting Ollie,
Amber
