Circus and Zoo

I have this one foot that is always completely swollen by dinner time. It never fails. The left foot. There might not be anything more ugly than a swollen foot. Perhaps two, but this one is just gross. I can't bare to look at it. But I have to elevate it to bring it back down and thus I am closer to it. I could be a freak in the circus with this foot. Is it just me, or do you think the circus is kinda trashy? Did you know that the Ringling Brothers circus will give you free tickets if you give birth to multiples? What on earth is that about? I remember going to the circus in 5th grade when they said they had a unicorn. Do you remember this? Or am I making it up? I am pretty sure I went and got a poster of the so-called "unicorn," which I am pretty sure was a poor little white horse with a horn implanted in its head. Anyway, the circus is kinda trashy because you can see animals is a zoo now or better yet on TV. I don't think I really believe in the zoo either, but that is another story. But besides the animals, the rest of the circus is kinda lame. No one likes clowns and if you want to see people jump around, you could always go to an ice show or something.

Anyway... that was a huge tangent.

This weekend, Jeff and I are promising each other to get the nest that is our tiny apartment ready for the tiny girls. We are going to do a full cleaning up, get rid of anything that we don't need and move all the furniture around to accommodate the co-sleeper and other tiny girl things. I will finish washing and sorting all of their clothes and hopefully be ready to bring in whatever other new devices we get at our upcoming baby shower.

Speaking of said baby shower. I have to say... first of all, I have never liked baby showers for two reasons. I don't like how the attention is all on the mother because she is the one with the big tummy. I think the attention should be equally on the father. Also, wouldn't it be nicer for the guests if the shower happened after the babies were born? I mean, there is no payoff, ya know? It is like going to the circus to see the unicorn and well, seeing a fat lady instead. Because of this, I think after a few months, when the tiny girls actually become interesting and aren't just sleeping and eating all the time, I will have a baby showing party. That way, anyone who wants to come and see my passengers can. Perhaps, admission will be one pack of diapers. Did you know that I might need 6000 diapers in the first year! And that at first we could go through 7 to 10 a day per tiny girl?! Insane. Anyway, baby showers should include the babies.

I am off to elevate my freakish foot. Tomorrow we get to see the tiny girls again. A report will follow.
