Be My Valentine Charlie Brown

WARNING: THIS BLOG ENTRY IS PRETTY MUCH ABOUT NONSENSE.
Last Night I was watching Be My Valentine Charlie Brown, when it hit me. This kid is really really depressed. I don't know why I never realized or noticed before, but I do now. While I was thinking about that I kept thinking that once he hits puberty it would probably get worse and worse, and if he didn't get professional help he might do something terrible to himself. Don't know why I'm overanalysing a cartoon, but whatever.
So, Happy Valentines Day! I hate getting the girls candy because Alyssa is so prone to getting cavities. So, this year I made the kids coloring books. Nothing too big just coloring pages I printed off the internet and bound together with staples. Micah got a My Little Pony book and Alyssa got a Princess and The Frog book. In addition to that I made them each a Crayola activity book, Disney Princess book, and a Disney Fairies book. They really love them and are coloring at the moment which makes me happy that at the moment I can make them happy with things that hardly cost anything.
Last night I made soup again! I love it when we have chicken or turkey. Then I can use the bones to make a stock and have homemade soup the next day. I love love love homemade chicken/turkey noodle soup. Plus it's so easy to make. Takes a couple hours, but not labor intense at all.
I have been having crazy "pregnant" (not really sure if it's because I'm prego or I have a messed up subconscience mind) dreams. It seems like every night I dream about killing somebody (never anyone I know or even met), or watching someone be killed. They are all so vivid too. I wish it would stop because it's really creeping me out. Also, last night I dreamt that I could feel my baby kicking, which is bizare because it's a seasame seed. My friend Tiarra was there and I kept telling her the baby was kicking and for her to feel, but she didn't believe me because the baby would stop when she felt for it.

Our Little Seasame Seed

We really should stop calling the baby a he until we know for sure. I don't remember if we did that with Micah too or not, probably. We were pretty sure she was going to be a boy.

Deep in your uterus your embryo is growing at a furious pace. At this point, he's about the size of a sesame seed, and he looks more like a tiny tadpole than a human. He's now made up of three layers — the ectoderm, the mesoderm, and the endoderm — which will later form all of his organs and tissues. The neural tube — from which your baby's brain, spinal cord, nerves, and backbone will sprout — is starting to develop in the top layer, called the ectoderm. This layer will also give rise to his skin, hair, nails, mammary and sweat glands, and tooth enamel. His heart and circulatory system begin to form in the middle layer, or mesoderm. (This week, in fact, his tiny heart begins to divide into chambers and beat and pump blood.) The mesoderm will also form your baby's muscles, cartilage, bone, and subcutaneous (under skin) tissue. The third layer, or endoderm, will house his lungs, intestines, and rudimentary urinary system, as well as his thyroid, liver, and pancreas. In the meantime, the primitive placenta and umbilical cord, which deliver nourishment and oxygen to your baby, are already on the job.
