happy mothering day

dear graham,
i am a very, very, very happy mom.

etsy summer stock

swooning over things on etsy as per usual, me stuff, graham stuff and baby stuff. but, here are a few summer picks i thought i would share. i might have to grab this blouse, even though it won't fit me until next summer. one two three

good grief! one month until graham's 2nd birthday party! i need to figure out some delicious fun food and some simple decoration ideas. by the time the day is here, it will be hotter and i will be bigger, so something easy as pie. mmmmm...pie.

four weeks later...

well, another fuzzy photo for the scrap book! i AM going to get a couple pics of me before this baby comes. this is my last chance for cute preggers pics!!! the baby is kicking about, trying to find comfy spots throughout the day. i've been pretty tired and getting nervous about the heat of a texas summer. that said, i feel good. we are beginning to get excited over here! my husband and i are no where near agreeing on a girl name, but if it's a boy, we're set!

May is here kicking and screaming!

Can you guess who is doing the kicking and who is doing the screaming...? graham is going to be 2 in a matter of weeks! these two years have been utterly amazing. our little boy is just that, a little boy. no more chubby cooing baby. he has full on discussions with us, bruises and tantrums! his toddler days are upon us and we're ready. it's really is so sad watching and listening to a full on tantrum. hopefully, the days of throwing fits of frustration don't last too long. that said, he is SO fun. my husband and i can't get enough hanging out with this kid, we're so in love. the one doing the kicking is someone we've never met and with no name, a tiny stranger inside my belly. i'm 23 weeks along now and starting to take note of the magic of it all. this is our last one, so these pregnancy milestones are to be savored and enjoyed. this is the last time that i'll feel kicks for the first time. does that make sense? there is a small part of me that want this over with, but overall i am adoring it all. there is this beauty that comes along with being pregnant, a strength. once it's over it's gone. there's certainly beauty in motherhood, but it's not the same, as the fleeting innocence of pregnancy. i am, of course, rambling. all i wanted to say is that the baby is kicking and graham is freaking awesome. :)
