cringe

 I think most people hate listening to recordings of themselves. I am no exception. I cringed while watching the news piece this morning. But Ella was great. Her television debut was a success. And the story was a "Top Story" on the ABC website this morning. Right up there with natural disasters and raw sewage. Can't beat that. 

blowing my horn

So I did the ABC interview with Nicea DeGering for the iPhone apps. I felt like a fool, but Kimmy said I sounded somewhat coherent. Either way, Ella looked great. The interview airs tomorrow on ABC sometime between 5:30 and 7:00, and then maybe again on the evening news, but that one's still up in the air.

Bubbling Over

I've had a few random things on my mind recently. Here's are my ramblings for any who care to listen:

• Zofran. For all my pregnant friends out there, remember this blessed pill. It made my pregnancy a thousand times better. I would pop a pill when I started feeling nauseated, and then I could carry on with my day. It has gone generic recently but many pharmacies still charge an arm and a leg. Not Costco. The big box giant sells it for dirt cheap. And many other pharmacies will match their price.
• "The Economy." Lately we talk about it like it is a person. A living, viable being. I suppose it (I say "it," but I want to say "he" or "she") is impacting our lives enough lately that it warrants this personification
• Crafting with fabrics. I have a new love. I don't have much intrinsic talent, but it sure is fun. I may buy this just to see what I can make out of them. Onsies, burp clothes, wall hangings...the possibilities are endless.
  
• Growing. It is on the iTunes application store. You can see it here. It is an iPhone application that lets you plug in your child's information such as height, weight, head size, etc and it chugs the numbers and gives you their percentiles. You can track them over time. I came up with the idea, Ryan made it happen. We are both very proud.
• Good Morning Utah. I may be on an upcoming episode plugging Growing and FeverMeds. I am petrified. Shaking in my boots.
  
• Working. I still love it, but I am missing Ella more and more while I'm away. They really do grow so fast.
• Symbiosis. Ella likes to bite on fingers. Avery likes to stick hers in open mouths. It's a beautiful thing.

Shameless Commerce

It is finally done. Our iPhone app has made it to the store. And three people have already purchased it! So check it out, tell your friends, and leave glowing reviews.

Coming soon...Growing. (Or "growth charts" or "sprout" or "growth."  Which do you like best? Our first choice, iGrow, has been taken, as has Growth Chart. Ideas very welcome.)

sorry to those getting this double on your reader. i had a technical glitch.
