Plane ticket PLEASE!

I am ready to check out of reality/busy life and head to beautiful Mazatlan with my two favorite boys.

Clu and Max can golf, we can play on the beach, lay by the pool or in (whale shelf or kiddie pool please).  RELAXING, eating next to the ocean with the cool breeze and yummy guacamole! Leaving behind my days over a toliet and magically feeling better. Forgetting I have a disaster of a house, a nursery to get ready, baby shopping (she will still be loved even if she is naked), de-junking, pictures to hang, meetings to attend, HOA business and lots of prepping for Clu to paint. So when does the plane leave, I would love to be on it! Then reality sets in once again and as Max says "See ya maybe next time".

Give it a couple of months,

and this will be our house.

We will be getting the newspaper swords ready.

21 weeks

21 weeks! Can you believe it? I can, I have felt every one of those days! They say that the more sick you are the healthier the baby is so this little stinker must be EXTRA healthy. She is a mover (but not as much as Max). Max loves to come and give the "baby" or my belly loves and "tickle" her by pushing on my belly button (that would be thanks to Clu for teaching him that one). Here is a lovely picture of the belly:

Side Note:
I was pulling out the Fall/Halloween decorations and found some pumpkins (4 in all). Max loved them and has given each one a name: Big pumpkin - daddy, medium - mommy, 2 small ones - Max and baby sister. He likes to move them around the house and the Max pumpkin is pretty good at bossing all the other pumpkins (big surprise on that one).

Clu...

I think that it is wonderful that you LOVE to watch movies and sports. You make it so much fun with popcorn, projector screen, bean bags, etc. and even watching the same show over and over because that is what Max wants to watch. Sometimes you let Max watch "big boy" shows like Rudy and he falls in love with it just like you i.e. ("like that football show daddy, again").

Getting ready to watch Cars on the projector screen, in the dining room (that Clu cleared out) and brought the bean bags up from downstairs.

Enjoying the show (popcorn was finished a long time ago).

 He watches your every move and can't wait for you to get home so you can play together. Today he has been talking about golf, football and softball with dad (but I am pretty sure it won't have to be in that order). He asks for you often and I have to remind him "Where did Daddy go?" his reply "Daddy go to work" or "Daddy go to meeting, see ya soon". You have helped make this pregnancy easier with the way that you keep our lives going. You don't complain when you come home, I am laying on the couch, the house is a mess, dinner is not ready and I don't have a clue what we are going to have, the dishes haven't been done, the clean laundry is in a pile that I was hoping to get to and haven't. You get right to work, you ask me how the baby and I am doing, make sure Max is happy and given a big hug, and then start on dinner, the dishes, laundry and picking up the house. Thank you for the sacrifices you make for our little family!
ON a side note, Happy Anniversary, oh just two months late! This adventure of 9+ years (married) and 12+ (together) has been amazing, you make life FUN! I love to listen to you laugh, it brightens our home and Max has picked up on it... he loves to laugh with you.
We ALL love our Daddy!

Thanks Megan

About 10+ years ago I worked at Polo Ralph Lauren and they were getting rid of the layette collection (infant clothing) in our store. Everything was dirt cheap and then I got my employee discount on top of that. I picked up a couple of things that were pretty cute. Fast forward 10+ years, I am going to have a little girl to wear them. I guess it was worth the little price I paid and being packed away for so long. So to everyone who made fun of me for buying this stuff ...

Neener-neener! She is going to be so cute. They are the right seasons (if she ever grows). Another little something to keep me going amid the vomitting. Now for a little pat on the back to myself.

Rainy day

This rainy day was a special one! Not only did we get to spend it at G&G's Snow's but it included cousins! Grandma had taken the boys out to try and feed the ducks, but with the rain clouds coming closer the ducks were hiding (the boys soon discovered them under some bushes). It quickly started to pour. The boys didn't mind, they loved it! Grandma made it even better with 3 "un-gellas" or umbrellas for each of the boys.

 

The fun concluded with a jump in the tub...

Max talked about his cousins days after they left.
