*I heard this conversation from the other room, the other day:
Jonah: "Aphia, please get away. You're knocking down my blocks."
Aphia: "I know. But I love you."
Jonah: "I know you do, but please love me somewhere else."

*In my pregnantness (I think I just made that a word), my emotions are CA-RAAAAZY! When I was pregnant with Aphia, there was one time that I was driving down a country road, and it was lined with trees, whose leaves were beautifully changing into brilliant oranges, yellows and reds. It was so gorgeous to me, I cried at the sheer beauty for a good 5 minutes of the ride. Sheesh.
Well let me tell you of a little story from yesterday. I was driving north on Hwy 25 in Buffalo, right in town by the post office. I saw a truck pull out from the fire station, going south, and turn it's lights and sirens on. The southbound lane had a long line of cars waiting for the light, they all did their best to pull over, and I in the northbound also pulled way over. I always pull over, but no emergency vehicle has had to use my lane to get by, if they had been traveling in the opposite direction. But yesterday they did! I of course started crying, because well, that's a huge deal to a pregnant, emotionally charged lady! I was glad to get out of their way, so they could quickly get to where they were going.

So if that wasn't enough for me, Jonah stops mid-sentence and says, "Mom we have to pray!" And so we did, just like we always do, whenever we hear sirens. Prayers for the first responders, for the situation, for the victims, etc. We finished and Aphia promptly breaks out into "Jesus Loves Me!" and oh boy were the tears aflowing then! I look back and shake my head. Yes it was a very tender moment for the three of us, but BAWL WORTHY??? REALLY?!?! Again- sheesh.

I don't really have any inclination of whether this child is a boy or girl. But if the fact that I was not very emotional with Jonah, pretty darned emotional with Aphia, and EXTREMELY OVER THE TOP emotional with this baby says anything- it'll be a girl, a very emotional girl. Oh goody- as if one isn't enough :)
