23 weeks down, 16 weeks to go! Can’t believe we're past the half way point with our little guy. I'm totally getting antsy and want to get the nursery ready - along with sort through all of Alden’s old clothes to see what we need. AND we need to pick a name! We've whittled our list of 23 names down to 7 so we are getting closer. I didn’t realize how ( Read more... )

Another long weekend come and gone. Can’t believe that I'm sitting here with Alden running around, chatting about "Bubble Guppies” and making animal noises. I think back to last Thanksgiving and the difference in him is amazing. He was still working on Daddy and Mummy then, and now he is working on counting and we have little conversations. Its ( Read more... )

Time cant seem to go by fast enough. I try to do little countdowns right now, to keep me sane. Right now its a countdown until I'm 12 weeks because then I *should* be able to wean myself off of the medicine and not be nauseous 24/7 and then hopefully get some energy back. I know the first trimester is usually pretty exhausting but taking this ( Read more... )

ALDEN IS GOING TO BE A BIG BROTHER IN MARCH!

Finally we are telling people and I'm so excited! I cant believe I'm 9 weeks already. Dont even know what we are having but already thinking up names. So many choices but I think I've already fallen in love with a girl name. Boy names is harder, I havent found one that jumps out at me yet. Oh well, ( Read more... )

Another Easter weekend over with. It was a pretty good one, besides the whole Alden getting a fever and heading home early from camping bit. At least we got to spend almost 2 full days and 1 night up there. Nick definitely needed his Al and tractor time. Alden and I hung out, played around the stream, walked and went shopping. For having a fever he ( Read more... )

25 years of Katy

What has it been so far? Pretty damn good. Lots of ups and downs but looking at where it has brought me it was well worth it. 10 or even 5 years ago I didn't think I would be where I am. I have an amazing son and hopefully a little brother/sister for him in the near future. I'm married to not only my best friend, but someone who ( Read more... )

Time is flying by like always. Alden is now 16 months old. Everything about him amazes me every day. Watching him figure out how to do things like spoon feed himself and put the blocks through the right holes, it’s awesome! Listening to him talk, his newest word is nanana which is one of his favorite foods. Which rocks, I'm glad he likes the ( Read more... )

I can’t believe its November! Time is flying by so fast. And now we have something new to count down to - Olivia's wedding! THAT’S RIGHT! My big sister is getting married :) I'm so happy for her. She has FINALLY met a guy who is perfect for her. Tonight she is going to come over and we are going to look at dresses and talk about what kind of stuff ( Read more... )

I cant believe how exhausted I am after Alden was sick for 4 days. Its not like he was up screaming non stop or anything, but just worrying about him and waking up constantly at night to give him his meds has really wiped me out. I think this weekend is going to involve lots of naps ( Read more... )

Oh how time flies. Sitting here, waiting for yet another Monday to come to an end and I cant believe that we are in October already. We have been go-go-go for so long now, I just want a minute to breathe but that doesnt seem to be happening. Not that I'm complaining at the moment, things are going pretty well. Nick still isnt back at work yet, but ( Read more... )
