This is going to hurt.
My Nanny is dying of Lymphoma. She doesn't know it yet. She's my best friend. This is going to be the worst thing that has ever happened to me. -
Christmas Cards
So, this year I was going to order some photo Christmas cards of Thomas to send out. And well, it's getting down to the wire...
So for the picture...
I thought it would be funny to put him in his red long sleeved onesie that reads, "Dear Santa, Define nice." and then wrap him (albeit loosely) in Christmas lights.
Funny? Child abuse?

On another note...
Thanksgiving was tiring. I had no idea how much work it would be - all in the middle of Thomas' growth spurt. Poor kid. I'm adding some fun pics of the Thanksgiving Holiday behind the cut (to save your friends page).

A Backyard Beating
This morning I was in the kitchen, entertaining Thomas - eating powdered sugar donuts.

Sleeping Baby
Thomas is snoozing in the bed a few feet away - and I had a pretty decent nap earlier - so I thought maybe I'd do a quick update.
*Hoping to order a USB cord for my digital camera so I can start spamming it up with cute baby pics (he's so much bigger now - he's actually wearing size 3 months!)
He's been taking a bottle occasionally (when I need to ( Read more... ) -
Thomas' Birth Story
So, Friday-Saturday I'd had a "failed induction" - and was sent home. Sunday night I lost my mucous plug, and Monday morning I had a routine(ish) OB appointment. Because I was at 41 weeks, my OB insisted that we do a Non-Stress Test to check on baby. Unfortunately, I hadn't eaten all day and the baby had a couple of decelerations during the NST ( Read more... )
