Well, I had intended to share some awesome pictures with you, but blogger has declared that I have reached my "limit for photo storage". So I'll be back when I am no longer irritated. After I research alternate blog hosting options. Boo on you Google. Boo on you.

When Wyatt was born, we delivered at 38w 2d. My due date with Willow was 10/30, but I had the 18th or 20th in my head the whole time. When those days came and went, it almost felt like I had gone "over due" and my pregnancy really started dragging. I was having contractions at night everyday, and right before I went to sleep, I'd think, ok, this is it. In the morning, I'd wake up, still pregnant

Wow, how time flies. First, a recent bump shot. This was a teaser from our maternity shoot! How far along? 35 Weeks Total Weight Gain: 23 pounds total Maternity Clothes? I am in maternity full time now. I'm actually beginning to outgrow some of my maternity items. The boobs have stayed pretty stable, still in DDD. I ordered a nursing bra, but have also found a tutorial

Well, the glider has been conquered! It is similar to the dust ruffle, meaning it's not perfect and could have been done better. But I don't care!! I love the way it works, and I'm so glad that I was able to do this for my little girl. I started with this glider, and this fabric. I used this tutorial, and made very few changes. I did the ottoman a little differently, as mine wasn't

Well, we are thisclose to complete in the nursery! Close enough that I'll call this a big reveal! Only things left is the other curtain, and to recover the glider. First, Wyatt loved Sophie so much, he wanted one of his own. His room has lions, monkeys and elephants, not giraffes, so we had to find a new friend. Elephants it is! He loves them!  We bought a glider on craigslist. I

Well, today is Wyatts first day of preschool. Keep in mind he's been in daycare of one sort or another since he was 3 months old. So we should be old hat at this. Not. As Wyatt is creeping closer and closer to 3, we started to look at preschool options. We loved his current school, but I have been dying to get him into Montessori since before the dawn of time, so the hunt began. I found a

We have lots and lots of projects off the list! I made Willow 2 crib sheets. This was actually easier than I thought it would be. A little daunting to think about, but totally doable. I used this tutorial. I highly recommend it. Crib sheets in anything except pastels or pink get pretty expensive. I bought a sheet set (twin sized) on sale for $14, and had enough fabric for 2 crib sheets,

We've made some real progress in the nursery! I'm sure that my husband is completely over hearing "can you do ____ this today too?".  We went with a soft gray on the walls. I really want Willow's room to be peaceful and calming. Every time I walk into M's room at Lisa's or Aria's room at Jaye's, I get an immediate feeling of calm.  Wyatt's room is nice, but it will never be

DDD. Yes, that is a size, and yes, I'm now wearing it. Stab me in the eye, we still have 18 weeks to go. Good news is, VS now carries DDD, but in limited styles, and online only. Let me direct you to this post which gives the rundown of my last pregnancy, and the journey of my over the shoulder boulder holders... In case you're lazy, I'll break it down for you.

At least for the interim. We'll be fondly referring to the babe as Willow, at least until she makes her debut!

The cake was ready and waiting for us.  While we waited, we laughed, swam and ate. You guessed it! Hamburgers and Hot dogs! Everyone came representing their guess.

Here I am, barely 6 weeks pregnant, and I'm already in a new bra. So that puts me in a D cup, in case you're keeping track. I'm not sure that I'm ready for this. I need to go bra shopping, and fast.

4 weeks pregnant Congratulations! If you know you're four weeks pregnant, you found out the news earlier than most women probably do -- and you might be totally excited, or you might be still getting used to the idea. Either way, it’s likely you’re not feeling any different (for now, at least), since most early pregnancy symptoms have not have kicked in yet. Be sure to celebrate this

Maternity leave covers all the major holidays, I'm only pregnant during one calendar year, and I'll potentially have this baby while I'm still 30, not 31, lol.
