Let the Nesting Begin…

April 23, 2013

Oria and I spent our morning sorting through her old clothes and randoms we’ve been given. Washed up all the soon to be new additions clothes and pulled out some of Oria’s spring summer stuff that still fits her. We’re set!

My sweet girl holding my best friends 5 week old boy. She wouldn’t leave him alone while he was breastfeeding, she wanted to rub him, hug him, kiss him, wrap him in a blanket. She was so happy to finally have him in her own arms. Sweet girl.

29 Week Baby Belly

Loving the shape this belly is taking on, love all the movement that’s been taking place lately too.  Suddenly I’m ravenous.  I don’t know if its just today or if its whats in store, but I just can’t seem to fill myself up!

In Utero Baby shall be known as Heisenberg.  

When I was pregnant with Oria I had a Chuck Norris t-shirt made and we always referred to baby as Chuck Norris. 

I also like the way it makes the belly look, though I’m sure I won’t be able to fit it by the end of this pregnancy, its not very stretchy.

New York City, November 2011

Just a few of my special moments with my 11 month old little when we visited New York City together.  

Super cute 6 month old paddington bear style coat I found for $3 at the thrift store today for baby # 2 next winter.

Mama has a sick baby today. On a positive note, this means more cuddles for mom.

Big Bed, Little Lady

September 21, 2012

And today at nap, Oria attempts the big girl bed.
Only took her 20 minutes to fall asleep.
So far I’d call this a success!

Update: A 45 minute nap in the big bed. Not nearly as long as a crib nap but not terrible. I think we’ll ease into this one , one nap at a time and leave night time in the crib for now.
