I wonder how long we can keep Drew's afternoon nap and Ella's sleep time on the same schedule ( Read more... )

No Baby Yet.

(not on the outside, anyway...she's feisty and kicking Seaves in the ribs like nobody's business)

I promise to tell you when she's been born. *pinkie swear*

It's a winter wonderland out there right now. We got some snow yesterday, it continued through the night, and it's still snowing out there. It's beautiful, and my floor to ceiling windows in my office are making it difficult to concentrate. Seems like Old Man Winter wasn't ready to give up on MI yet this year. It's astounding that places like ( Read more... )

It was a good day. It feels like it's been a really long day, but we got a lot done. We painted, we played, we went out to breakfast, we moved things out of the attic, we made messes, we cleaned up, we did laundry, we made more laundry. We ate, loaded the dishwasher, ran the dishwasher, unloaded the dishwasher, reloaded the dishwasher. It was ( Read more... )

Today:

• Pick up coffee / hot chocolate (Drew: "It's coffee day! It's coffee day!")

Drew came home from school sick this afternoon. He threw up. Gross. Poor little guy hasn't exhibited any other symptoms, though. He never ran a fever. What's the rule on sending him back to school if he hasn't thrown up again since 3:00pm on Wednesday ( Read more... )

As promised, here are some ultrasound pictures of our baby girl. We've picked out a name but for now you can call her Saoirse Marguerite. She's already so cute I can hardly stand it. I can't believe I have to wait until late February to meet her. We finally told Drew that he is going to be a big brother. His reaction to the news was mixed. We ( Read more... )

Seaves and I had a really good talk last night. But we stayed up too late talking and today both of us are tired.

We started working out again. I worked out at lunch yesterday and today (meeting people for lunch tomorrow) and we're doing the Exercise TV's Two Weeks to a New You program where you print out the workout plan from their website ( Read more... )
