Comments for Arms and Legs

Arms and Legs: 05/01/06

Let me start first with Harriet. The last couple of nights just as I've gone to bed, she has decided to practice rolling over for the big head-down turn she'll have to make at the start of the third trimester. She's ended up breech once and her second time, I'm not sure which way she ended up pointing. All I know is that I felt two hands and two feet and a good strong kick, like a swimmer doing a flip at the end of the pool for the start of a return lap.

Now on to my arms and legs. I've been having trouble sleeping due to hip pain. Last night I found a few comfortable positions for sleeping without hurting my hips. Unfortunately, these positions put my arms and hands asleep!

Sean's Belt:
Two weeks ago I ordered a black leather belt for Sean's new pants because while the pants are the right length, the waists are for a much rounder child. Most chain stores do not sell belts for boys but do sell them for little girls (in gastly pastel colors). Fortunately I found a place online that sells nice clothing for children, including belts for boys.

Anway, the belt should have shown up last week but I made a wee mistake on the address and put my work address as an avenue, rather than a street. UPS refused to deliver the package on Friday because the street address was incorrect. Good grief! UPS makes at least one delivery to our place every day (sometimes two) and there is only one Laurel of any variety in San Carlos and therefore only one place with the street number I gave. I sent them a curtly wordly email with a link to Google Maps and they took the hint and delivered my package this morning.

Good grief number two! I just got a phone call from a 734 area code saying UPS sill couldn't deliver my package. Um, hello, it was delivered an hour ago! WHY DO PEOPLE INSIST ON PAYING TWICE THE AMOUNT OF THE USPS FOR CRAPPIER SERVICE? I love the USPS. They don't jerk me around. They hold my package at a convenient location if there is a problem with delivery and their prices are cheaper than any other package delivery service!

The Digital Camera:

The new digital camera arrived today -- five days early. It came via USPS. They didn't get lost. I will post new images tonight after Ian and I have had time to play with it.
