New Baby Boy

Welcome little Robert Cole. (Going by Cole) Good job Jenny and JP!

Cookies!

Lilia and I were on our own yesterday from 8am til bedtime so I had lots of activities planned. I told her we would make cookies after nap, so of course, first thing she said upon waking was "Cookies now Mama!" Little stinker.

The Nest

I recently purchased this giant maternity pillow in hopes it may help with sleep. It kinda does. But, Bean also loves it. I let her watch Little Bear a couple times a week (on at 7:30am) when I need a blog fix or when I am starving and want to eat my entire breakfast instead of sharing half with my little scavenger. She loves playing "sleep" in the nest.

23 Weeks

So here I am at 23 weeks. I have gained a total of 20 pounds! Holy #@$%! Seems like a lot to me. I am hoping to keep my total around 30 like I did with Bean, but I sure have a long way to go till this baby's birthday. I have been feeling pretty good. I have more energy lately (even though I cannot sleep). I have also started going to regular chiropratic appointments. This has helped tremendously with my sciatic pain and from what I gather may help speed labor as well. I'll take it.
Other baby news: My friend Liz had her son, Jasper this week, and my dear friend Jenny is having her c-section today. I have waited for this day for 15 years. I am so excited for Jenny to become a mother because I know this is one place she will surely shine. Cannot wait to meet little Cole.

What's Cookin

Bean recently discovered aprons. When she wants to put one on, we all have to put one om.

Yesterday a ginormous tree limb fell in the middle of the day. No wind, no storm, and the tree is alive. It was a bit scary and we were glad to all be inside. It did manage to crush the satellite and miss the jetta by 2 feet. Our friends Al and Cami came by and Al brought his chainsaw. Sami busted out his chainsaw pants and tried it out. Og course, I had to document Sami's first chainsaw event. hehehe

No No Potty Book

We are in full swing potty training mode. Bean pees in the potty, but no#2 yet. She calls this book the No No Potty book and reads it along with us. Very cute!
