"The Number 23" staring Jim Carey..."The Number 31" Staring The Moores You Know

I saw a movie trailer for a new Jim Carey movie that should be out sometime in the near future where there is some number that is apparently ruining his life. As you can tell the movie didn't stick with me too well and not to say that the number 31 is ruining my life. Let me start from the beginning...is there a limit on how many toys there should be in the bathtub? I was giving Esther a bath the night before last and realize that she has a ton of floating toys. We'll not a ton that would be 2,000. But 31 toys! Toys that pour water, toys that you stick on the side of the tub, toys that squirt, swim, splash, and all sorts of other things. I started thinking about it and wonder if that is some magic number. Is Hollywood wrong with the number 23? Lets take a look at 31... Prime number, 3 weeks till the birth of 1 more baby, 31 Days in a month, 1531 songs on my ipod, 31st is Halloween, 31st is New Years Eve, I was 31 years old two years ago(33-2 which is 3-1 to get the 2), 3+1=4 which is how many of us there will be when the new baby gets here, 3-1=2 which is how many people I know currently living in Scotland, do you need more examples?Okay how about 631 which was the prefix for the phone number that I grew up with, 31 Neutrons in the chemical element phosphorus, we had a house for sale 1731, Baskin Robbins used to be only 31 flavors, and the list goes on and on. So watch out Hollywood I have a spin on your movie! Or maybe the number is 13, which is the number of pillows we have on our bed, is the mysterious number. Wait...13- that's 31 backwards. This is getting way too scary.

Concert in the Red, Green, and Blue keys...

We'll we are still on track for the arrival of #2. What does that put us at 4 or 5 weeks left?? This was an off week for the doctor's visit, but I think that after the next one it is a weekly visit. So I am sure there will be more to follow in the near future. Nesting phase is on a vacation right now or it is getting ready for a strong comeback soon. Esther's room is painted, the bed is on the floor, the dresser is painted and full of diapers and clothes, and I finally got the closet cleaned and shuffled around. She has her table, tea set, all her stuffed animals, and doll house in her room and is loving it. Everynight when I get home she says "hand" and takes my finger and pulls me to her room just to show it to me.
Last night was my turn to get her to sleep. It only took about a half hour, and she slept there all night. We read the same 3 books at least 15 times before I could finally get her to sit still long enough to stare at the same spot to realize that she was tired. It was great! Like I said she slept all night and so did I. Unfortunately, I think that Britt was up and down parts of the night. Between a baby kicking her bladder and the worry of Esther being on the other side of the house, she was the good mommy and kept checking on her to make sure all was okay. This morning I woke up to the sound of my alarm, but kept hitting snooze till I finally declared defeat and rolled out of bed. Through the monitor, we could hear Esther reading books to her animals, and then playing a concert on her little piano. She is better than Mozart, Beethoven, or Bach. I would almost put her up against Billy Joel, but there is just something about The Piano Man. He also has quite a bit more keys and peddles than the little one Esther has. Anyway... Life is going well, for the Moore tribe and will only get better- or more active.
I still haven't shaved my beard and it gets better looking everyday. Or at least I think so. I keep saying that I won't shave till the new baby gets here, and if its a girl I won't shave till I have a boy. Britts response is pretty blunt. She says that if its a girl, we won't wait a year to have #3. Britt doesn't like the beard??? So I guess boy or girl the beard will be coming off soon. I thought that I would try to E-Bay my beard when I shave, what do you think a sack of beard hair would go for. Do you sell it by the pound, the cubic inch, or individual strands. I guess I have some thinking to do.
