39 weeks and counting!

please come out to meet us soon little one.excuse the black eye. i was head butted by a toddler, i won't name names...

really 36.5

i almost didn't take a pic at all this week. i've been exhausted. i AM however, going to make my husband take proper pictures this weekend. or at least pics with a proper camera. texas heat is no place for a pregnant woman! i have a 2 year old to entertain, no pool access and my legs are weak after about 30 min. of shuffling. that said, i am in good spirits and so eager to meet this kiddo. everyday is over 100 degrees and graham and i are both so stir crazy. alas, the baby and cooler weather will be here before we know...right? the thought of waiting another month to give birth makes me a bit nuts.  :)

thank you ladies

my girlfriends threw an incredible party, celebrating the newest little one, still baking in the oven. i could have sat around with those girls all night. every person there is dear to me and thanks to them i laughed for hours. thank you, thank you, for the indulgent afternoon!

birthday wishes

my 35th year is off to an amazing start thanks to my husband. he took us to the lake for a night and the three of us couldn't have had a better time. we can't wait to meet the newest addition to the family, but it was nice having a little holiday, just the three of us. speaking of my belly tenant...july in texas and 8 months pregnant is not ideal. i can't wait to not be preggers anymore!!! i'm counting the days, the hot, hot days.

another month gone

a

another grainy photograph. oh well, the belly is growing, good pics or not. here we are in july, next month is sure to bring us baby! we have started to narrow down the girl names. boy name chosen. i wonder if we're having a boy or girl???

i would write more, but i'm off to get what i want and need...tacos.   :)

rawr.

i finally bought something for the one in my tummy! i think i am going to be forced to buy a matching tee for graham. the 100 degree days are here and i'm going to be a bit uncomfortable in them to say the least. that said, the next 8-10 weeks will be filled with friends, family and a bit of swimming, nice. i'm also switching from my doctor and the hospital to the birthing center, better late then never!

3rd trimester...begins

that's it folks! i am making my husband take the next belly pics. these are SO fuzzy! these are not the pics of me pregnant i want to look back on in 30 years. but, here it is, the belly, three months to go.


i have not been able to sit on the computer much these days. toddler days are keeping me moving. graham started his swim lessons last weekend and it was fantastic. the three of us will be going every sat. this month. this sat. we will not only be hitting the pool, but also celebrating graham's second birthday!

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!

half way there.

i thought i was going to have awesome photos of the "coming of the belly". as it turns out, this is my first shot. done, like last pregnancy, with the help of my computer. it's been hard for me to wrangle girlfriends or my husband to take good pictures. i'm hoping to get at least a couple good ones before this little one arrives. but, here is my 20 weeks shot!

make room for baby

the new baby will sleep in our room for quite a bit. late night feeding are way more appealing from the comfort of our bed. that said, the two little ones are indeed going to share a room. meaning...it must get a few updates, a bit of sprucing up! these sweet crochet are on my list of maybe. i am attracted to the circular shape and the texture. etsy of course.

some unisex registry picks!

i've been fairly insistent this time around that we leave the child's sex a labor day discovery. we found out with graham and it was SO much fun to know! but, this is our last and i want a surprise. this pregnancy i have decided against pain medication. so if we're going natural, let's go natural! "think of it as retro", i keep telling my husband.
therefore, i am keeping the list of wants and needs short and neutral. one of the nice things about having children close together is you still have some of the "baby" stuff. but, i suppose i'll be revisiting some of my favorite baby items and looking for new ones! the carrier is a must and c'mon, that's a freaking cute rattle.
p.s. i think i could go a little nuts at american apparel
