Some eye candy

I'm lame and didn't take any pictures of Wyatt on
Sunday (aka: his blessing day). I know I'm a dork,
so sue me! I can't get over how much I love this little guy!
He was/is so handsome in his little git up. It's a good thing
we had him blessed on Sunday because that outfit is not
going to fit him very much longer. I give him a week!


I couldn't help posting this potbellied picture
of him. He's so chunky....in a good way of course!

How does this work?!

A lovely friend of mine snatched my 2 & 3 year

olds and the baby is asleep in the back room. So

I find myself sitting here momentarily free of children.

For the most part Wyatt fits right in. He sleeps, eats,

and poops. He really isn't too demanding, yet I'm all

up in arms about how to get back to normal. Where did

my routine go and how on Earth do I get it back?!

Ahh well, that's life right?

On a lighter note: I was able to paint and clean my

bathroom. Thank you lovely friend of mine!!

Not so professional photo shoot

Pictures and musings

Look at my multiplicity of children! I can't tell you

how awesome it is to be the mother of all of these

little people. And it never ceases to amaze me how

much I have been able to love each new arrival.

The past week and a half have been so nice. James

took this past week off and has taken up the roll of

Mr. mom. He has been absolutely wonderful!! He's

made lunches and breakfasts, taken kids to school,

chased kids at the park, and everything in between.

He's pretty much taken over. I'm so lucky to have him!

I'm sure he'll be running back to work on Monday but

it really has been nice having him around.

On a very random tangent, check out our new neighbor!

He moved onto our deck a week ago. I like him much

better than our garden destroying groundhog even though

he's ginormous and creeps me out. Just as a reference, his

body is at least an inch long.....yea, scary!

Look what we found!!!

A fat wrinkly little boy

He cleans up so nice....

I think I'll keep him!!

Ok, maybe that was a little corny...I'll expound.

7.15 20 inches folks!! He's a bruiser....well, not really
but "cutie pie" isn't very masculine now is it?

And guess what? I totally went into labor by myself!
I coaxed the receptionist at my OB's office to get me
in yesterday so that I could discuss an induction.
Okay, so maybe I yelled at her a little...what?!

Anywho, my appointment was at 3 and I went into
labor at 4. It was kinda funny because I went to pick
up my two non-school kids from my awesome friend's
house and started contracting on her front porch. So I
left them there.

Then I was awesome and had no epidural...
ha just kidding. I wussed out, got the epidural, and then
gave birth 30 minutes later. Yah, I went too quick for it to
completely work. Oh well. Better luck next time....
if there is a next time.

Well, I suppose I will shove off and drift into the peaceful
slumber that only a hospital can provide.
(that was sarcasm by the way)

Oh yah, we decided to override the almightly blog poll and

call him Wyatt Smith. Sorry guys. I still love ya though!

Project blog

I've been sewing like mad the past little while.

Yesterday morning I woke up at 3:30 and couldn't

get back to sleep for thinking of projects I wanted

to do...so I got up and went to work! Insane much?

I know, right?! I did get some things done though

AND I actually got to see my DH before he left for

work (he leaves at 5! Crazy huh?)

Any who, the blog shop I set up earlier has been

revamped to be more of a project/tutorial blog.

It's really just for my own fun and enjoyment, but

if you're interested in checking it out I've got a link

under my "places to go" list.

What am I doing?!

Has anyone noticed the magical floating baby

recently? TWO WEEKS!! The last few days

I've had a crazy surge of nesting. You know,

the type that makes you wash walls, dust inside

the piano, and use a butter knife to scrape the

crevices of the floor boards. Last night panic finally

set in when I realized that I'm going to have yet

another bottom to wipe, more laundry, and chaos.

Don't get me wrong, I love being a mom and I

adore my children but I'm terrified! Sorry to unload

on all of you but I thought I should get it out of my

system. Thanks and wish me luck!
