birthday party down. now it’s time to have a baby.

i must be up and around more…as the blogs have slowed down. sorry faithful readers, (if i have any.) bed rest officially ended at my doctor’s appointment last thursday. she said…and i quote…”you can do whatever you feel like doing.” well…alright then. does that mean whatever my brain feels like doing (going shopping and taking […]

is this bag not the most delicious bag you have ever seen? i came across it through a random blog that had a link to another random blog that had them featured. it just so happens that i have been in the market for a new diaper bag for annslee…okay. actually for me. (but it […]

as long as everything goes according to plan, (aka: the test that predicts labor comes back negative), the doctor says that bed rest will be officially over in 1 week. to think, 8 weeks back, i thought the day would never come. she is actually letting me get up 1 week earlier than what she […]

…could have been a scene out of meet the parents as far as i’m concerned. at my last appointment, i got special permission from the doctor to be able to go up to the school today for “meet the teacher.” i explained that as long as i wasn’t putting the baby at risk, there was […]

i have noticed lately that aiden has become quite the little chatter box. when i was little, my mom used to have to tell me that her ears were tired and needed a break. i now understand what she means. i can’t get one of a’s questions answered before she asks the next one these […]

welp…who knew you could outgrow sweatpants? i like to tell myself that people are wearing things tighter these days and that all my sweatpants are the “tighter style” and that is why i have suddenly outgrown them and that it is actually a good thing and that it is “all baby” and that these 1 […]

the not so serious: the other day, chase came and sat next to me on the couch and touched my belly. i could tell he was thinking about something. he said, “mommy…i want the next baby you have to be a boy so we can name him obi wan kenobi.” i believe it was that […]
