1. The Whoorl household is illin’ this week. All three of us are drowning in Trader Joe’s tissues, although Wito seems to prefer using his sleeve/toys/sofa arm/remote control/pillow as a snot receptacle.
2. The fact that we all fell ill during Wito’s week off from preschool makes me want to cry, considering I was truly looking forward to the playdates we had scheduled for the week. For instance, tomorrow’s playdate will be held at my friend’s pizza parlor. Good friends, fun kids and ALL YOU CAN EAT FREE PIZZA. Do you realize how wonderful that 2-3 hours would have been for this here pregnant lady? DO YOU?
3. Speaking of being pregnant, I am 21 weeks as of last weekend. Halfway there, my friends, and about 2 photos to show for it. (The second one sure gets the shaft, don’t they?) Here I am this morning in my (rapidly becoming too snug) Andrew Bird tee.
Interesting how I choose to take a photo of myself on the day that I feel like death. Revel in my natural beauty, folks! REVEL.
4. Many updates are currently going on at the house, and I promise to post some photos in the near future. It’s just that I’m more of a Before/After Photo kind of girl, opposed to a Check Out The Progress We Are Making Today gal. Although, there may or may not be a lovely man named Carlos painting our downstairs powder room navy as I type this.
5. Hell. While I’m randomly busting out my iPhone camera, here’s a shot of my favorite room in the house. Our upstairs loft, aptly named The Treehouse. I could sit here all day.
6. Finally, prepare for utter sweetness. We are big fans of The Sound of Music over here, and my nighttime duties usually consist of a four-song medley of sorts for Wito after D reads his bedtime story. (“Sixteen Going on Seventeen,” “Edelweiss,” “Doe Re Mi” and “My Favorite Things,” in case the suspense is absolutely killing you…)
Yesterday afternoon, Wito was feeling pretty crummy so he decided he wanted to sing “My Favorite Things” in hopes of feeling better. I think it may have helped a tiny bit. (Or maybe it was the ice cream.)

February 16, 2010 at 6:54 pmOh. I think you need to back that video file up a dozen times because that’s pretty much the most precious thing I’ve ever seen.
Feel better soon! Your belly looks adorable.

February 16, 2010 at 7:22 pmI’ll admit something: I’ve been avoiding your blog for two reasons.
1. You are the cutest pregnant person in all of humanity, and it isn’t exactly helping my baby fever. Nor is the adorable Wito videos! Oh, my lands! The cuteness!
2. Your new place is the most adorable freaking condo I’ve ever seen in my young(ish) life and it is making me bitter and want to buy Lotto tickets on a weekly basis.
And it doesn’t help that you are such a peach because I can’t even hate you for it! I swear, I’m working on getting over myself. One of these days.
:)
(Um, that treehouse room is my fantasy. And now I’m going to go eat a cookie to feel better about myself. The end.)

February 16, 2010 at 7:26 pmThe treehouse? Is amazing. I can’t wait to see the rest of it. And I’m dying for my kids to have the patience to sit through The Sound of Music. And you’re adorable. There, I’m done.

February 16, 2010 at 7:37 pmI’m a long-time reader finally coming out of lurkville to say that that video is the CUTEST thing I have EVER seen. Seriously. EVER. What a peanut!
Allison
February 16, 2010 at 8:11 pmOh for crying out sakes… I simply can not stand the sweetness! I just want to scoop him up and snuggle him and feed him all the ice cream in the land! Amazing.
Also amazing? Your tiny little belly (Lita – that’s my “name” suggestion for Baby Girl Whoorlita. Wito and Lita – fun, no?) and The Treehouse.
Love.
