Owl be Seeing You

Anyone get that song from the Notebook stuck in your head after reading the title? No? Let me help you out.
Okay good. Now that we’re all on the same page….
I’m off this weekend to finish some prep work for the party, and then we have the party itself on Sunday (yay!). I like to clean the house, make as much of the food as I can, and put up as much of the décor as I can the days before the party so that all I really have to worry about the day of is finding good music. Josh knows this, as he’s been looking at this rainbow, owl, lantern collection in our dining room for the past week.

Sometimes it’s surprising how time consuming tasks are, even when you think “oh yea this will just take 5 minutes”. Thirty minutes later you’re sweating bullets because nothing else is done and people are arriving and you’re like “ummm just you know…entertain yourself”. Embarrassing. This also keeps me from running through lists in my head all night. This girl needs some sleep!
I can’t wait to see my friends again, some of whom I haven’t seen since May. Pictures are sure to come on Monday or so, but enjoy your weekend!
One final note..,

My thoughts and prayers are with the families and victims who have been affected by the senseless tragedy in Aurora. Words cannot express how sorry I am for you. This world can be so dark and evil, but I believe that goodness and hope will overcome.

I thought I was fat

As a woman, I've always placed a lot of value into what I weigh and how I look. In the past few years especially I've been doing my best to move away from that, to focus on being healthy and feeling good, but those thoughts creep up for sure. It's my 6 week check in and I've lost 4 more pounds, so basically I still have 18 pounds to go. I started out these 6 weeks by going to the gym and only drinking water, but after week 2 Eli got sick for 2 weeks, then Anias got sick for 2 (make that 5...) weeks, then I got sick for 2 weeks, then Anias got an ear infection and would NOT sleep. He wouldn't fall asleep for 2 hours past bedtime and would wake up for hours. He's actually still doing this and he's still sick. Thursday he had a 101 fever so I took him in to the urgent care and his ear infection in his right ear did not go away. They put him on Augmentin and it just destroys his tummy. He actually vomited 3 times Friday on top of it all. I'm not used to thi...

Fit for a Princess

I know this is kind of bad, but I’m ready for summer to be over. I know, I know. I’m working on being content in the present, but I honestly can’t wait to see my family again (rocking some boots and sweaters wouldn’t be so bad either). I’m off to Denver in September and I’ll be in my hometown in Wyoming for Thanksgiving. I only get to see the family every 3 or 4 months so every time it’s like a special treat. They’re so fun! Speaking of which…I was talking to my sister Tiffany about throwing a birthday party for her daughter (my niece), Kali, while I’m home since Kali’s a November baby. Tiff was down for it, but she also wanted some help in re-decorating Kali’s room  and I can’t be any more excited. The idea for the very whimsical reno is to have a tree with some tangible flowers and branches. A dress-up station is also a must. Here’s some inspiration I’ve come across so far… Top to bottom, left to right: Lumme Designs Bed , Fairy Tale Bedroom found at Lyring , Linde Browning D...

We made it! And still no baby

The first 35 weeks I prayed Anias would stay put. I may have prayed a little too hard! Yesterday was Anias' due date. At this point Eli had already made his appearance. Anias is his own little man. We had a couple of days this past week where I was sure he was on his way, one in particular when I was having contractions every 10-15 minutes after steadily building all day. Alas, it didn't happen. I've been praying that he comes before our scheduled induction Sunday, but trusting in whatever happens. Our doula was discouraging induction since I haven't had any progress and it is typically harder on your body to be induced. However, I need my parents' help and they leave the 27th. I really want to take advantage of help while I transition from being mom of one to mom of two. I had a rough time emotionally when Eli came, and I know that's natural, but I still want to use my support system as much as possible and I'm so thankful they are here to help. Our doc...
