I think I’m a bit biased…

but y’all, my baby is BEAUTIFUL! Check it:     Look at those lips! She’s totally got her Daddy’s profile! She was moving up a storm and at the very end of our ultrasound she just flipped her feet over her head and curled up into a little ball, as if to say “All done! [...]

Ow.

This nesting business is starting to get a bit ridiculous. I woke up early on Saturday and decided it was finally time to clean my two disgusting bathrooms. I started with the guest bathroom that hasn’t been cleaned since my brother-in-law lived with us in May. I spent a lot of time hunched over cleaning [...]

Monkey is currently the size of: A Large Banana (I’m assuming length-wise) A Carrot (again, going length-wise here) Monkey Milestones: Weighs more than 10 ounces (the doctor said she was measuring at 9oz at our our 19 week check-up) and is slightly longer than 7 inches.

It’s a…

So, we’re caving in and telling people that we do in fact know Monkey’s gender. We were able to find out at our last ultrasound, but we told everyone we weren’t able to in order to better keep our little secret. However, an opportunity has come along that we can’t pass up. An opportunity to [...]

The beginnings of a nursery…

This weekend marked my first nesting it. I’m sure many will follow. Dan and a friend moved the furniture around between the guest room (now nursery) and the game room (now game/guest room) earlier last week. All that was left was to get the closets in Monkey’s room all cleaned out. We shoved a whole [...]

I would totally go through the usual weekly stuff with you, but you guys… I GOT TO SEE MY BABY TODAY! Unfortunately, my appointment was scheduled WAY too early for my stubborn little Monkey and we weren’t able to get any better pictures than this b/c Monkey was laying so close to the placenta. However, [...]

I can’t focus

I felt a GIANT kick this weekend. My mother was trying to get Monkey to kick her and every time she moved her hand away Monkey would kick me. So Mom would come back and jiggle my belly some more but then get bored when Monkey wouldn’t repsond. After about 15 minutes I had my [...]

Tiddles and Bits…

I had to get a cavity filled yesterday. I was supposed to get it filled back in March but I was only 7 weeks pregnant and my dentist wanted to to postpone it until I was firmly into my 2nd trimester. So, armed with advice from my doctor (No Epinephrine!) I finally got to get [...]

Monkey is currently the size of: an avocado (all the websites agree this week!) Monkey Milestones: FINGERNAILS! What the holy hell? That’s a frightening thing to think about. I don’t know why, but the thought of my unborn Monkey having fingernails kind of freaks me out. Other than scratchy nails of doom, there’s no other [...]
