London Calling

You better Belize it

Yes, we're back.  We just couldn't stay away.  We horded airline miles and took the family to Belize.  It's as beautiful as ever -- although really hot for preggers.  Dr. V was perfectly comfortable with me taking the trip and just suggested avoiding snorkeling if the water was too choppy -- you know, it being hurricane season and all.  Just drinking lots of water and swimming and  hoping not to be mistaken for a whale.

London is in heaven.  He loved flying and couldn't get enough -- even though it took us three flights to get here.  He's a little fish and has been swimming in the pool and in the Caribbean.  He's blowing bubbles and kicking and having a great time.  Grandma even got in the water this trip & I don't think I've seen her in a pool since I was 7.

I took a ride with Barry to the internet cafe so he could make himself freak out over biz stuff.  I'll ditch him to head over to the gift shop to get the little blondie a new cap to protect his noggin.  He's good with the sunscreen and has been wearing 70.  Who knew they even made it that high.

Last night we had dinner outside of our townhouse while London slept.  It was so beautiful and the food was fantastic.  We are big fans of Victoria House and will likely be back another half dozen or so times.  (I think this makes our sixth trip -- maybe more.)

Baby Update

According to my weekly email from Parenting Weekly, our little girl is about 1.2 pounds and 12 inches.  She takes after her big bro and kicks like crazy.  Still, if she's only 1.2 pounds, that means that a lot of this extra weight is not going away when she arrives.  Although, the boobs have to weigh at least 10 lbs a piece.  Hubby literally laughed at me when he caught a good look at them with the lights on.  Bad move honey.  Never, ever laugh at your wife when she's naked. 

We'll get better scoop from our new doc tomorrow. 

Sitter City - I'm all out of love

While I AM a big fan of the idea and the service I had experienced this fall, I'm all out of love for Sitter City.  We moved on June 13th and everything changed -- address, email, etc.  So, when I used an old Sitter City password in late June/early July, I was locked out.  You'd think getting a new password would be easy -- or that getting a timely response from the web site would be easy. 

They've responded with new passwords that haven't worked.  And honestly, sending me something that says "enter your zip code for your new password" doesn't work for me.  My current zip?  My big city zip?  My PO box zip?  My parent's zip because I used their address for two weeks?

I need a sitter!  I need a date night!  I need my hubby to stop getting pissed every time I have a late biz meeting or trip!  Yes, Sitter City, I'm so lost without you.  Why can't you just give me a new password?  I've been emailing and emailing you.  Just give a girl some love.  Please!

And, I thought that the burbs were crawling with high school aged girls who wanted to baby sit.  I remember seeing a new family move in and stopping by to let them know that I was a babysitter.  I parade my beautiful boy all over L-ville, and nada.  No luck.  Not even from the girl across the street.

I wonder if the retired ladies who live in the condos downtown would be willing to watch London.  Ah, but his BIG PERSONALITY might be a bit much for them.  What do to?
