I am, I said

10 days later, and the visits all went very well.  Stephanie and I had a great time; well, I had a good time, I’m afraid she migth have found out that my life is very boring.  Gone are the days of tequila shots and Lance Bass.  She found out that most of my time is now taken up with arguing with Lily to go to sleep.  However, with everything that has gone on the past year it was wonderful to see her, and I do hope to make it out there next summer for my *gasp* five year college reuinion.  Then we’ll have to think about those tequila shots.

Anna, my sister, came to stay with us the day after Stephanie left.  We got her sort of ready for senior-year-living-in-an-apartment life.  Chris and I have a large store of extra things around this house, mostly from replacing what we had when we first got married with newer, nicer things.  It’s a process.  We just bought a new nice set of pots and pans at Sam’s Club that are not non-stick.  I decided Teflon was very, very evil and I wanted it OUT of my house.  So we bought Wolfgang Puck’s 19 piece set after a lot of thought and shopping, and I love the pans already!  That meant Anna inherited almost all of my Pyrex pans, one tiny frying pan, and a stock pot.  She should be pretty good to go, even if she does now have one or two evil non-stick pans.

However, I do have one announcement to make (and if you read our webpage,  Chris made an allusion to big news, but I AM NOT PREGNANT.  It’s something else).  I think I want to become a doula.  I’m not 100% sure yet.  But I have been thinking about this for a very long time, and I do need to do more research, but it looks very interesting to me.  It’s not a midwife.  I don’t want that kind of responsability.  It would allow me to work with other women to help them through childbirth, and, if I get certified to be a postpartum doula, help a new mom learn how to be a mom.  It’s all very exiciting and I could start as soon as next month.  We’ll see.  But I will need all the support I can get.

Oh, and I will put up pictures of Lily in this blog as soon as I figure out how.  She did learn how to stand up on her own yesterday, and she took 2 steps today.  Don;t worry, we got it in a digital movie.  I’ll get Chris to post it.  And I did fix the comments settings.  Have at it.
