This is a ticking timebomb.  I have reached the freak show stage.  I’m running out of clothes that that fit well are even remotely cute (other than 2 dresses) and thankfully, after work is over this week, I can just lounge in a t-shirt and workout pants until she comes.  We had a busy weekend with a playdate and a… Read more →

(Please excuse the obnoxious cheering) This was the first time he’s been able to actually get the ball IN the hoop. Pretty exciting stuff folks. Alex LOVES being outside and its tough to get him back inside at the end of the night. It usually comes to us dragging him in kicking and screaming, literally. I’m really looking forward to… Read more →

Here are some updated pics of what the room looks like. Still pretty half ass but its getting there! Canisters from Linsey with baby toys and lots of hair accessories. Let’s hope we have some hair to work with. Paintings by my Aunt Karen. Seriously, how cute? A new print of Wayne Thiebaud’s Gumballs from Granny. Closet Newborn clothes that… Read more →

The first 20 seconds are what she does ALLLLLLLLLL DAYYYYYYYYYY LONGGGGGGGGGGGGGG. Its like she doesn’t sleep…ever. Those are her feet, with her butt bumping my belly on the opposite side, and her head hitting my hip bone. You are only seeing a fraction of the action I feel. Henry had the positive attitude that she’s wearing herself out and she’ll… Read more →

This tank top is working hard.  I’ll try not to bore you with complaints so here goes the Pollyanna version.  My rings still fit, only have gained 17 lbs, I’m sleeping well, no stretchmarks to be seen, my energy level is great, and the dr’s think she’ll be around the 7 1/2 lb mark.  I will say I have a… Read more →

Just wanted to show off all the awesome hand-made stuff, art work, and gifts my friends and family generously gave Chloe. I can’t wait to put it all up and see how it looks together!! From my Mom: Picture of me and dad. Dad passed down the hat and Mom saved my little jumper. I smell a sequel! From Alex,… Read more →

This is what Alex looks like when Thomas the Train is on TV. I could be tap dancing while making balloon animals next to the TV and he wouldn’t notice. Not a day goes by where he doesn’t ask for “Choo Choo?”. Needless to say, we are doing a Thomas bday party this year. Every time and episode starts, he… Read more →

No, Alex did not get to actually paint but he sure liked that roller. I especially liked it when he rolled it over my back. I’m going to count that as a massage. For 2 hours after dinner and baby bed time, we finished the room. Other than a few spots where I plan on going back to touch up… Read more →
