May 14 – Doodad at 14 weeks
I had an ultrasound to double check my due date and resolve the possibility of twins. There is only one baby, and he or she is perfectly formed. I’m not showing and have not gained any weight yet. I love to see people’s reactions when I tell them I am 3 1/2 months pregnant because [...]
May 13 – Mother’s Day Mohawks
Before I was even out of bed on Sunday, Bebop demanded a Mohawk for church. (The Mohawks have nothing to do with Mother’s Day other than Bebop wanted one.) His hair isn’t quite long enough, but I used a little hair gel and tried my best. He was very happy with the result. I was [...]
May 11 – View of Bedtime
Today is my first project 365 failure. I really wanted to take a picture of my belly (which is not showing at all) because I’m at the end of the first trimester, but the pictures all came out awful. I found a few pairs of maternity pants at the garage sales last week and the [...]
April 15 – Birthday Pie!
Happy Birthday Jared! We celebrated Jared’s Birthday in our usual style, with cherry pie! I prefer to make most things from scratch, but with my limited supply of kitchen equipment in our apartment, I opted for store bought crust and filling. I’ve always made cherry pie from canned filling, but this is the first pie [...]
April 1 – Twins!?
Yes, I’m actually pregnant. I had an ultrasound two weeks ago, at 6 weeks pregnant. The obstetrician and midwife team that I saw prefers to do ultrasounds between 8 and 10 weeks, but my midwife was willing to do mine early due to our move. She was able to find the baby very quickly, and I saw [...]
March 18 – Dirt Bath
The packers are coming tomorrow morning. We spent the afternoon pre-packing by taking things off walls and grouping like items together. Most of the boys toys are put away, and they are not very happy with the limited toy choices. Today we had to get creative because neither was being helpful. We let the boys [...]
March 17 – First Barbecue
We don’t have a real barbecue, but often roast hot dogs or marshmallows over our fire pit. Today Magoo had his first experience with a cookout. We had hot dogs and fresh vegetables for dinner. I was surprised that Magoo actually stayed seated and ate almost all his dinner. After dinner, Magoo discovered the bird [...]
March 10 – Almost Spring!
We had beautiful weather today and walked to the park with the boys. When we got there, Bebop announced that he wants a park in our backyard at the new house in New York. We told him it probably wouldn’t happen, but we would find some new parks after we move. The boys had fun [...]
