just a warning- lots of baby talk ~.^ You'll see XD

Hi everyone! *hugs* I just realized that it's been a while since I posted ^^;; Hard to get back into a routine, isn't it?

First of all- Thank you so much to everyone who posted! *hugs you all tightly* I really hadn't expected so many ^^; They meant a lot to me. Oh, and thanks to everyone who explained the high number of gifts! It makes a lot more sense now ^^;

Well, I just got back from a baby shower. Our church choir director had her baby the day before Christmas Eve!! He is SOOOOO cute! ^___^ I love babies so much. It was really interesting, though, because we (naturally) didn't have a choir director for Christmas Eve Mass. It's a big deal and she does such a good job with our choir. But, luckily, one of the girls who had been at college down south for music was able to step in and it worked out fine.

And, most importantly, our choir director and her baby boy are well!! < 3 So, one of my fellow altos set up this baby shower for her and it was really amazing. Even a few (two) of the men from choir showed up for the baby shower! Lol, both of them said that it was the first one they'd ever been too.

Oh, oh, and I was really excited for another reason! ^___^ This is one of the best bits of good news that I have to share with you! When I found out how near to Christmas she was supposed to have her baby, I got an idea for a gift for her. But, I knew I couldn't find it anywhere, so I had to sew it! It was my first real sewing project ever! It was even harder because I couldn't find any patterns for it, so Mom helped me alter a pattern to make... a baby choir gown! ^__^

I was a nervous wreck when I was trying to sew it, but it all worked out (thanks a lot to my Mom, she really did the hardest parts... one of the hardest parts was also making the little white thing that when with the gown) Yeah, apparently there are NO baby choir gown patterns. T.T I was so shocked when I couldn't find any. I mean, I'm sure I'm not the first person to think of this!

Anyway, when our choir director's husband opened the gift and then she saw it, it was so hilarious. Her jaw dropped open ... and then she started *laughing* ! She didn't stop laughing for a LONG time. ^___^ She really liked it, but I guess she was just surprised ^__^ Which makes me happy (I love seeing people look surprised)

And her baby is SO CUTE! Gall, I've said it how many times now? But he is! We saw him about a week after he was born and he already has hair! And I'm talking DARK hair. It isn't like the little fuzz that a lot of babies have. It looks like you could almost justify combing it!

Okay, I probably have a ton of baby stories that I could randomly drop on you. But I think I'll stop it at that ^__^

Oh, wait, one last thing, I did take a picture of the choir gown I made, just in case any of you are interested. I would post it here already, but I'm lazy right now. Lol, great excuse, huh?

Yeah, I've been a little spaced out lately. I did something to hurt my spine (it'll get better, but for now it hurts alot) And I got some bad, but not unexpected news yesterday. T.T The results from my dental x-rays came... and I definitely need to get my wisdom teeth removed... So, I've been quietly freaking out about that.

Gall! I know that I shouldn't be worried, but I am so terrified of it! The entire idea of being knocked out and then... ~.~ No, I'm not excited at all. And, as though that wasn't a fun enough idea, I really should get braces... My teeth are pretty crooked and if I just leave them like they are now, I'll most likely have problems down the road with them breaking. So, yay, another thing to look forward too ^^;;;;;

Okay, I think this post is starting to get a bit too long XD But, I don't want to end it on a dentist's note.

Let's see, well, I've been seeing a lot of amazing artwork here on TheO! And I did make a card... I haven't submitted it though... I don't know, I probably will at some point. I guess I'm just getting used to being here again! ^__^ Besides, I just really love seeing all of your artwork!

Hmm, I promised stories about my cousins too, didn't I? Lol, I guess it'll have to wait until my next post.

And, I'm copying this post to my 'world' on TheO (Hmm, although, if you're reading it on TheO, you probably know that already) Figured I'd try to get into the habit of doing that. At least until I forget ^^;

Ah, and questions! (nearly forgot ^^)

1.) Have you ever had wisdom teeth taken out?

2.) Have you ever wondered why they call them 'wisdom teeth'? I mean, if they're so 'wise', why do they have to be removed? -.-;

~.^ I hope all of you are well and enjoying whatever weather you're having! *hugs tightly*

Have a great day!
