Dear Baby S.

Please stop sitting on/kicking/punching mommy's bladder. Thanks so much!

Love, Mom

The Mama Files: Mostly Good...

...but a little bad. I found a set of these:
for $2 at a garage sale today! I did so well with not buying any gender specific stuff...until the last sale. But I ask you, what's a mom to do with all this cute girlie stuff out there?

Seinfeld.

I haven't worked my my border all week. I literally haven't had time. And it's driving me crazy, because I hate to leave a project half finished.

This week has been nuts!

I had this "great" idea of doing a photography project for my art class which has turned into HOURS of photo editing for me. I despise photo editing. But since working on our church's website I have gotten to know my photo editing program better and better. Which I guess is a plus! So lately my life consists of sitting here cropping pictures. That is, when I'm not at a little league baseball game or practice freezing my butt off.

I can't even believe it's Friday already.

I'm thinking May is going to fly by faster than April did. Which means I'll be 1 month closer to seeing my sweet little baby!

Oy!

Marc: Aw! Your belly is getting really cute.

Me: *sigh* Yeah it's getting big, isn't it?

Marc: How much longer is there?

Me: 17 weeks!

Marc: Oh man, this is going to be another big one. I hope you're ready for that.

***um, thanks hon!***

Dreams

Coming Out The Other Side [of the weekend]

And it's Monday again.

Weekends are, in general, very hectic for us. I took a 3 day break from scraping border to go to Little League opening day,

finish the baby's quilt,

work on our church's new website,

get groceries (which requires a 45 minute drive to a decent size super market),

and attend church.

However, here's a couple breakthroughs from this weekend

a. In my mind we're set on the baby's name (both boy and girl)! I haven't told Marc what the girl's name is yet though! ;-)

b. Our stack of baby supplies is growing quite nicely, I got a really cute baby book! And the quilt is cuter than I imagined!

c. Wowsers! My belly is getting big! This is seriously a revelation to me! Normally I'm a very observant person, but I guess that doesn't apply to my own appearance. My belly button is really starting to flatten out.

d. Xavier and Leia felt the baby kick last night (during church)

e. The weather is HOT! Which I sort of like at the moment since it'll warm up the lake for camping in June.

and that's it!

Hopefully by next weekend I can report that the border is completely down. And my annual yard sale-ing day with my mom was very successful!

Coming Home?

These COULD be our baby's coming home outfit!!
