So, there you go.

Speaking of cute, little, tiny, sweet, good smelling Elijah, tomorrow (Friday, April 30th)  is the last day to sign up to get one of his birth announcements.  I am beyond excited that Tiny Prints has offered to send anyone (even YOU!) a birth announcement.  The thought of my readers receiving one is extremely special to me.  To sign up, just click here.

Custom Birth Announcements

And lastly, I posted over here.

kbye.

I don’t particularly enjoy it, though.  I do, however, love hospital ice.  I would choose it over cupcakes and pizza.  No lie.

Anyway, I posted over here today.  and last week, too.

Also, I plan to come back later today to share my famous (but not famous) chicken noodle recipe that is so easy I’m pretty sure you’ll want to send me presents and hospital ice.

Now, I can’t think about anything but hospital ice.

And next month?  WE ARE HAVING A BABY.  Happy February, friends!

I have winners!

The individuals who each won a $50 gift certificate to Tiny Prints are:

Katie (no blog), who said “I love the Inspirational Square!”

And Saj at Saj Advice.  Both winners have been notified!

Thanks for participating and special thanks to Tiny Prints for the great giveaway.  I received my Christmas cards today and they are BEAUTIFUL.   And stunning!  And perfect!

Seriously, they are.

If you’re looking for a real post from me, you can find one of those here!

I’m so good to you.  If you had been here just five minutes earlier, I would have shared my ice cream with you.

Such a beautiful moment.

I posted over here today about someone squashing my son’s dessert dreams.  See you tomorrow morning for You Capture!

I promise to come back today or in the morning and tell you about all of the excitement…EXCITEMENT, I TELL YOU, but for now I need to go have lunch with my friends and try to make Crooked Eyebrow go into labor.

In the meantime, I posted here about what not to say to a pregnant person.  Feel free to join in.

Speaking of Lovelyn, she has a new style of shirt for sale in many different colors.  It’s so soft and it’s pretty, too.  (I’m wearing one right now.  I swear!  I am!)

Don’t forget, if you buy one, take a photo of yourself in it and send it to me at foldinglaundry AT gmail DOT com.  That’s an order, man.  So far the response has been huge.  HUGE!  Let’s keep that support rolling in and feel free to continue to tell your readers/facebook friends/twitter followers all about her cause.

Also, I posted over here today…

That is all.  Carry on.

Have I told you that Sarah is pregnant?  It’s true.  She’s due in December.

And right now she’s eating Little Debbie’s which I think it’s very, very cute.  But now it’s bedtime.

but stop.  Before you go.

I posted over here today.

I know a lot of you were able to read it when it appeared in your reader and then it disappeared, I apologize, but it is over here.  I really want you to read it, I think.

I wrote about depression, the postpartum kind.  This is something that is important to me because I experienced it and also because someone I love is in the midst of her own darkness right now.

So, maybe go read this.  And feel free to share your story, your feelings, in the comments, if you’d like to.  I think she’ll be reading.

I wanted to tell you about Diane Birch’s new album, Bible Belt.  She has a really great sound, this week her album was released and with each purchase of her album, $1 will be donated to one of six organization.  (YOUR CHOICE!  March of Dimes being among the charities available!)

Also, you can add a Diane Birch widget to your blog and who ever raises the most money for charity through their widget by June 23, 2009, will win a FREE PRIVATE PERFORMANCE in the winner’s hometown! More albums sold means more money donated. Definitely worthwhile.  (and if you win, maybe you should invite me, k?)  Want to start sharing?  Go here.
