It's MY Birthday

But it's hers too...

Happy 31st Birthday to my other half.
Love You,
Tats

Ps.  Happy Flag Day!

Lost and Found

This weekend with MC out of town I was in Ultimate Nesting Mode.  Whilst cleaning the house top to bottom I found the following feminine ankle sock, known to the French as une socquette.

This dirty little thing was found in the upstairs bedroom which may have been inhabited by Cats or Juice around the last weekend in April. 

Claim it here, or it gets the boot. And by boot i'm not referring to a winter shoe!

Love,
Tats

34 Weeks and 5 days

Finally, a new shot of my ever growing belly!  I must admit i'm feeling pretty big lately and by BIG, I mean uncomfortable, achy, barfy and tired.  I can't believe that we will have a little mini-MC in about 5-6 weeks. We are really really excited to meet our little man, but i'd be lying if I said I didn't have one or two little moments of fear thinking of how drastically our life will change in 30 something days!

Me: "Sweetness, I don't know about this whole having a baby thing!"
MC: "Too late for that Baby..."
Me: (disapproving groan)

Sitting next to pigpen

We Took a rode trip for Nats baby shower.

I somehow got to sit in the middle...to my left was pigpen, who btw went through two wardrobe changes during our 8 hour drive :)

Please notice my tidy space.

Lovingly, your sister

29 Weeks Huge

Having officially been in my 3rd Trimester for 2 weeks now, i'm surprised that I still don't really feel pregnant.  It's funny.  I always daydreamed that pregnancy would be different somehow, that it would make me feel or act a certain way.  When I open my eyes in the morning I feel like me...but then I try to move and I have no stomach muscles, and my back aches, and I step in front of the mirror and my body is 2 times bigger than normal and I say...humm, I guess I really am pregnant. 

29 weeks...in 11 weeks, give or take, we will have a little baby boy. What a mind blowing concept!  Hopefully he will have his daddy's blonde hair and stunning blue eyes and my long fingers and toes.  We already know he's got super long legs...there was no way he was going to escape that trait, but its a good one.

We have a monthly check-up appointment next Tuesday and i'm proud to say that I have not gained a pound since that infamous last appointment when my doctor called me a fatty.  We are really excited though because I was able to talk them into giving me my 30 week scan next Thursday morning.  Caitlin will be in town and since she will be living in Japan when he is born, I thought it would be cool for her to come with.  All you have to do is tell someone that a loved one is leaving for the  military and they will do what they can to accomodate you.  Umm Caitlin, I told them you were the pilot so you may want to brush up on your Aviator Lingo just incase they ask.  Here's to hoping we get a good look at his face.  I'm just dying to know what he looks like.

Progress at 25 Weeks

Even though everyone thinks i'm tiny and I hardly look pregnant, i'm going to side with my good friend Aislinn, who thinks I TOTALLY look pregnant.  Perhaps she's bias because she has felt and seen the little beans powerful moves more than anyone because he likes to show off while i'm at work...or maybe he is just showing off for the pretty lady? Regardless i'm in my 6 month and I feel huge and wobbly. 

You can form your own opinion below.

(how can you say that I don't look pregnant?)

(fun with kitty)

(i'm gross here, but look at Mew and MC...hilarious!)

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Happy St. Patrick's Day my lovely sisters.  I hope you enjoy a cold Guiness for me.  In celebration of this happy green day, I registered for this little beauty.  Green and beautiful.  It's a diaper bag, but so much more magical.  Kinda like Mary Poppins bag of goodies...didn't she pull a lamp out of that thing?  Now, if I can convince someone that spending almost $400 bucks on a diaper bag is a good idea...that will be magical.  Sister's Gift...wink wink. :O)

And for Daddy...Let's stay in the green as well with this lovely Olive PPB Masculine Diaper Bag!  Half as much, but twice as nice!
