Seasons in the sun

We said goodbye to our poor dog today. I thought I would be completely fine, I mean there's only so much eh hem, crap, one pregnant woman can clean up. Regardless, I still cried when his nice new owner offered to let us come by anytime. I'm so scared Eli is going to be devastated. That dog was his best friend, but as my friend pointed out, he'll have a new best friend, a little brother, in a few short months. Optimus didn't seem to be bothered at all. He hopped in the car without any prodding and was like "bye suckers!"

We're moving out of our house on Monday and Eli and I are off to Denver until the 16th when we will close on our townhouse. He's super excited to see his cousins, Tenley in particular. I told him we were going to say goodbye to Optimus, get on a plane to Denver to see his cousins, then maybe go swimming to which he replied "that sounds fun." Wish us luck! Once we get settled I will feel relieved.

Week 22

Baby's size: ear of corn

Symptoms: weird sensation of my mouth tasting hugely bitter or tasting like soap at random times, waking up with numb feet, seeing stars

Cravings: Pretzels from Flying Saucer- even though they make me sick; I have had dreams about chips and pickles several times, which is odd

Milestone: Forgot to mention that daddy felt baby move at 19 weeks

<--pouting because mom wouldn't give me my binkie

Eli

I say baby's name so loudly and with gusto, it's never just Anias it's "ANIAS!!!!" I'm very sweet, and when mom got a new shirt I told her she looked cute and baby looked cute. She thought it was so funny I said it over and over. I love to walk Optimus and run as fast as I can. I pretend that my fish bath toys talk to each other and use different voices for each one. Usually they just say hello, okay, and bye bye to each other. I pretend to be on the phone with a one Mr. Chicken Nugget almost daily and I find myself wondering months later where Santa went.

The Velveteen Rabbit

We’re at week 32! Only 8 more weeks to go. Yesterday we had our final baby shower and it was just adorable. My in-laws threw us a Velveteen Rabbit themed shower. Take a look at these pictures my sister-in-law took of all the sweet decorations. Isn’t it just adorable? I was so sad to tear down the diaper cake, but that wreath is going to go on his nursery door I’m sure. Eli is so lucky to have a crafty grandmother. Not only did she decorate the shower, but she also made him a ton of personalized burp cloths, onesies, pants, blankets, and bibs. Aren’t they soooo cute? I’m thinking about changing his going home outfit to be his little lion onesie she made him with his name embroidered on it. We’ll have to see! Oh and that bear backpack! Isn’t it precious? I can’t wait to pack it up for him to go out to his Mimi’s. He’ll just love it. Now for his week 32 check in… Weight Gain: 29 lbs in 32 weeks. Crazy! I did gain 5 of those lbs wh

All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy

I’m so depressed! The Halloween party we were planning was cancelled (yea-that means we cancelled it). I LOVE love love Halloween, but I’m okay with a low-key night since many of our friends are going to be out of town the weekend we had planned to throw the party. Last year Josh and I spent time handing out candy to neighbor kids and watching the shining. Of course I decorated like crazy, but this year I think I’ll probably keep the decorating outdoors and use the food to celebrate the occasion. Here’s what I had planned food-wise for the Halloween Party. For (eh-hem, real food) snacks. Trick or Treat Turnovers Pizza Mummies For crunching and munching on Scarecrow Crunch For dessert Candy Corn Rice Krispies Monster Mash Pudding Pretzel and Brownie Skeletons I’ll probably let Josh pick out what I make for the occasion since all of it looks SO good

Ready Set, Have You Met...

In the event you don't know, the end of that lyric is "Robocar Poli" which has been playing often in this house lately. Anias and Eli both love it, and with the spiders, ticks, rain, and overall grouchiness of a sleep deprived almost 2 year old I'm just going to roll with it. Josh and I have been busy trying to fix up the house, but unlike those before and after seemingly instant photos it's taking over a month to just finish what we've already started, but we're getting closer! We're taking a long weekend together without the kids this week up in Chicago and I'm excited! It will be nice to explore a new place and see one of my favorite all-time bands: Beach House. Anias: 23 Months I say new words like ...Poli (requesting the show Robocar Poli), mowing, kick it, mint, bike, night night, eat it, cereal, battery, sheep, chick, here you go Mama My favorite food is ...macaroni, but I also like hamburgers and won't hardly have a m
