Summer...Summer...Summer...Summer



I changed my background to something summery because I'm missing those days of warmth and freedom. I'm starting to feel a little caged in.




On an unrelated note - ever wonder how long it takes to clean up an entire bottle of dish soap from the floor? I used to be like you. "No," you're thinking, "I've never wondered that before." 45 minutes is the answer. And even better is when you find that the reason there is a whole bottle of soap on the floor is because a 3 year old was attempting to clean up the whole bottle of nail polish that she had dumped on the floor. One would think that this would have been plenty, but after cleaning both of these messes, I walked in the kitchen to the other side of the island to find my spices had been dumped out on the floor as well. At this point I just started laughing and took a picture. This is the price that a mother pays for falling asleep while getting the baby to nap. It was worth it though - I haven't had a good nap in...years? I don't remember the last time I had a nap that I enjoyed this much. Moral of the story: ....I got nothing. Can't beat 'em, can't join 'em, just laugh and clean it up.

IT'S A.......

So I had my first doctor's appointment with this pregnancy and I got my ultrasound:) It's a healthy baby girl. Ellie is thrilled, she's been telling me since day 1 that she's getting a baby sister. I kind of thought it would be a boy since both Junior's AND my family goes girl-girl-boy-boy and we were already on pace to repeat history, but nope, we're breaking the trend. Junior would like to name the baby Eva after his mom, but I told him that it's ridiculous to have an Evie and an Eva. Other than that, no real ideas. I really liked my doctor, so I was relieved about that. My due date is June 4th, so that makes me 21 1/2 weeks along. Here's a couple pictures from the ultrasound. The top one is her little hand next to her face, the middle is a leg and butt shot that I'm sure she'll appreciate when she gets older and the bottom is a profile shot.

Yah, so....totally lost interest in my blog for awhile. Here's a few pictures of what we've been up to. New Year, new leaf, all that jazz.
