Guy and Lovely gave me a new mixer for Christmas. For 10 years, I have used my very basic Kitchen Aid 4 1/2 quart mixer for all my baking. I felt lucky to have a Kitchen Aid, but I knew that it was a little small for the amount and kind of baking I like to do.

There have been times that Guy has tried to talk me into buying the Professional 600 series mixer that I drooled over. The 6 quart one. Yum. But I just couldn't do it. I had a mixer that worked just fine. It seemed like such a frivolous purchase when I had something that already did the job.

Thank goodness for gifts. The new mixer is a power house, and I swear, I made the best pound cake I have ever made with it on its first run. The crust was absolutely perfect. The batter had room to breathe in that wonderful 6 quart bowl. I love it.

Since my old mixer didn't break, I couldn't see getting rid of it. It's a great mixer. So, we deemed it Lovely's mixer and set about teaching her how to bake.

Yesterday, I gave her a stack of cookbooks so she could pick out a cake to make.

She chose a Hot Milk Cake with Caramel Icing from the Jackson Junior League's Come On In cookbook.

Oh boy. I have never done caramel before.

We set our mixers up this morning and each made the cake. At the same time. Because I think the easiest way to learn it to get to do it yourself. We walked through the steps together and both had some really good looking batter to go into our respective ovens.

Tonight, we tackled the icing, but did it together instead of each doing a separate batch.

I am happy to report that it turned out beautifully. We were beyond proud of ourselves. We cut into Lovely's cake, that she made completely with her own two hands, and it was fantastic. My daddy would be in the kitchen with a fork, finishing off at least one of those cakes himself if he were here.

Now, if someone could just tell me how to clean caramelized sugar out of my cast iron skillet, I would be so thankful.

Tomorrow, we tackle some pajama pants with some cute pink flannel that her dad picked out for her. It's dadgum Home Economics 101 around here. From the woman who never considered herself very domestic. The woman who was going to be a rock star. Then the woman who was married to her job.

Y'all come by. I'll make you some biscuits. Things are different now.

Make sure you stop by and wish Jennifer safe travels and painless moving before she takes a Haiku Hiatus.

I was a bad girl and skipped haiku-ing over the holidays. You all kept up so well, and I enjoyed reading them. Now, I will join you again.

******
Gibson, you poor boy
We are always coming back
You are safe at home.

Rescue Remedy
Isn't really helping you
Separation angst.

Gibson, you sweet boy
You're in your forever home
I wish you knew that.

********

Poor big love. Gibson has severe separation anxiety. He has to stay in his crate when we are gone. We can't trust him in the house, and supposedly, he is "crate trained." We don't know what the foster family thought that meant.

But when we leave him, he panics. Shelter nightmares? Fear of family leaving him forever? I don't know, but I wish we could make it go away.

We are trying. Safe word to put him in the crate. Leave for only 10 minutes. Come back and let him out only if he's quiet. Don't make a big deal out of leaving or returning. But in the meantime, we still have to leave him sometimes. Guy has to work. I have errands to run. And poor Gibson doesn't think we are ever coming back.

********

For more Haiku, go follow this link. For a haiku that will make you cry, go visit Labugga. She wrote a very special haiku for me today.

For me and Bird.

Because today, we are at term.

Thank you, LA.

I missed the haiku party last week. Shame on me and shame on my emotional roller coaster. I hope to make it up to you this week with one of my favorite sites to visit around the holidays:

Scared of Santa photo gallery. I don't remember how I found it, but it is home to some of the best children with Santa photos that I've seen.

The one on my left is my personal favorite. Guy and I made Christmas CD's for friends one year and this was the insert picture. The CD's had the worst Christmas tunes we could find on it including Johnny Mathis' rendition of the "Hallelujah Chorus," Stevie Nicks murdering "Silent Night," and Chaka Khan singing "The Christmas Song" with her mouth full of marbles. All she wanted was a "turn key and some middle toe." One person actually gave theirs back to us. She had no sense of humor whatsoever.

So in honor of the season, here is my haiku about Santa's lap. If I can find it, I'll add the last picture I had taken on Santa's lap when I was in college. Naughty Santa. He just so happened to be one of my drinking choir buddies. I'm surprised we didn't get him fired.

Santa at the mall
The day after Thanksgiving
Better dry out soon.

Pulling at his beard
The children know the difference
Just a fat old man.

Santa at the mall
Scoping out the hot mommies
He pats his lap, "Sit."

Next year Bird will go
Take pictures with his sister
And the fat old man.

Go visit Jennifer to find more fabulous haiku. You'll find yourself tapping out your words with your fingers the rest of the day. 5, 7, 5. Yep. Haiku that, my friend.

Writing a birth plan
Guy's easily distracted
We need to finish.

Little Bird likes to
Kick along with the typing
Giving his input.

We are bad students
Not doing our birth homework
Until the last night.

Got the names of two
Guy's easily distracted
Doulas to check on.

When the day gets here
I know that he will be so
Very focused then.

Because that's just the way he is. Saving his energy for the real deal.

Sigh.

Less whiny haiku can be found here. And yes, I notice that it is 11:55 PM. No, I cannot possibly do this any later next week.

Whether you get that birth plan done or not, you're going to be GREAT.

We had a birth plan all set and typed up and filed at the hospital when I had Child Number One, and we wound up just throwing it right out the window, anyway!! My doctor had fallen and broken her collar bone, and so her locum stepped in (he was splendid, btw) and the baby was born SO fast (1 hr, 30 minutes from start of labour to babe-in-arms) that I just wound up "winging it" and doing what felt best!!

All my birth experiences have been wonderful-- some more spontaneous than others!-- and I'm certain the Arrival of Little Bird will be sheer perfection, too.

Hugs to you-- hope you're well!

*********

We are not foolish enough to think that Momma wouldn't have to go back on chemo at some point. Her cancer is a chronic condition. We know that.

So when she called today, and I could hear the news in the tone of her voice before her words were spoken, I didn't crumble. It didn't feel like a crisis. I didn't immediately run through all of the things I needed to cancel in order to catch a plane.

Now that they have moved, thank God, they are near my brother. Bro and Sil are great with them, and the grandchildren bring joy into their lives. There will be help. There will not be Daddy taking Momma a piece of bread folded in half and calling it a sandwich. Bless his heart. This is so huge. I'm so grateful that they are near family now.

I think she will be okay. I think they will zap it back again this time. I think that she will live long enough to know Little Bird and for Little Bird to fall completely madly for her.

But she won't be here in January. Not for the birth. After all the wrestling with whether or not it was a good idea for them to be here, the coming to terms with how I wanted her here even it was more work because of Daddy, after all that?

It isn't even an option.

And of course, that makes me want her more than ever. And I just feel really sad.

But I also want you for a long time, so we will compromise. Stay there and fight now. Come here after you've kicked some more cancer in the tush. Little Bird will want you to stick around for a long time.

Little Bird's sweet face
27 weeks today
He's got Daddy's nose.

Little Bird's shy pose
Smiling for the camera
I see there are no dimples.

Bird's eyes are shut tight
Giving us a big thumbs up
He must be cozy.

"Enough already
Can't you people let me sleep?"
Little Bird is done.

Labugga wrote a beautiful haiku in honor of Andria's term day. It is posted at Andria & Co. Of course I cried a little. Andria is so close to holding her baby, and has held strong through many losses to be where she is now. I'm terribly happy for her and proud of her.

My friend and I just got done from a lovely morning of bra shopping and lunch. We are both hard to fit, but for opposite reasons.

I am to the point where I take a bra off at the end of the day, and it leaves an imprint of every seam or piece of lace in the cup. Textured boobs. Lovely. So I figured it was time to buy one or two more to last me the next couple of months.

Turns out, we do indeed need a new adjective. G is for ginormous won't fit anymore, quite literally. Today I purchased as 36I. Yep. I.

Remembering that it is Haiku Friday, I submit my humble lines here:

My boobs are so large
I believe each weighs 10 pounds
Sure hope Bird's hungry.

T and I decided that I should have a contest. A boob pool, if you will. Here are the rules:

In the comments, take a guess at what you think the girls will require one week after giving birth. Right now, at 21 weeks, we are at 36I. Pre-pregnancy was 36DDD.
If you are a "no-reply" comment leaver, please include your email address. Otherwise, I can't let you know if you win.
By Valentine's Day, 2008 (I'm giving myself some leeway here because of the whole first time giving birth and all), I'll choose a winner from the correct guesses. I'll put the names into one of my bra cups and draw the winner at random.
The winner will receive a t-shirt from the Pennyrich Bra Patch. As of right now, she only sells Mediums and Smalls, so I can't promise it will be a t-shirt that fits you, but I asked her if she would order more today. She said she might, because the frat boys from NCSU love them. They are awesome shirts. T got one today, and she said I could post a picture of her in hers.
You have to guess before I write another post about my boobs, which could be anywhere from a week to a couple of months, depending on how much humor they provide me with.

That's it. A simple little contest. That won't be done until February, but hey. You know you want a Pennyrich Bra Patch t-shirt.

Sadly, my boobs couldn't even make it to a B as full blown milkers.

You still have a ways to go and then your milk has to come in ... so I'm saying 38L.

FishyGirl DATE:Sunday, September 16, 2007 at 10:42:00 PM EDT 38L, based on my past experience. I am a 38D normally, but due to so many pregnancies and nursing and such, right now, milk time, I'm a 40H. I say it's H for humongous.

If your milk supply is as abundant as mine, you might need to only nurse on one side at a feeding after about the first week or two, once you have a good supply established. My poor babies have had such a hard time trying to nurse at first - like trying to get a drink of water from a fire hose.

Also, since I am SLLLLLOOOOOOWWWW on the uptake, can I get a Team WhyMommy button? I'd be happy to post and link and do whatever I can to help. ----- COMMENT: AUTHOR:

Spennig / Rynivor DATE:Tuesday, January 8, 2008 at 11:03:00 AM EST Speaking from experience, went into pregnancy with a 38 JJ bra, and it fit throughout, just got tighter. I doubt you'll go much farther up DURING pregnancy. Once things are done, and whatever hormones were making them grow anyway kick out, I'd say you'll hit at least 1-2 more.

I'm fishing for the 38 KK-ish size now, cost and availability suck though. ----- COMMENT: AUTHOR:

I was looking up bras to see if there was some where I could buy one online. I wear a 38 KK! so yes they do exist! and very hard to find! and they horrible!! I really hope u don't get much bigger!

Jennifer and Christina have instigated Haiku Friday. Which is exactly what it sounds like. Post a haiku on your blog every Friday. I'm in, but still in spontaneous form. Blogging is fun. Editing and such? Not so much.

Where we all are now

Little Bird is here
Getting in his exercise
Never still for long.

Princess on the couch
Doggie stink to high heaven
Never moves that much.

Lovely is at school
Almost time to go get her
Never quiet long.

Pupstar waits for food
Wishes I would feed her now
Never tires of treats.

Guy is still at work
Tinkering with our genome
Never stops thinking.

And I am resting
Tired from our trip and week
Never happier.
