The Heat is On

Well, our family pictures haven't come in yet so we had to make do with my at-home studio. It was good anyways, as I wanted to make sure the setup looked cute for my two Christmas baby sessions in early December. We didn't pick these pictures, so don't worry it will still be a surprise!

Anias: Week 9

I like to suck on my thumb, but only my left thumb and I get really mad if mom interrupts me. I love looking at fans and smiling at them and my eyes are definitely a dark blue. Mom is rushing to get pictures of me in all the cute 3 month clothes Mimi made before she can't button them anymore! This one is named in my honor. It's called the Aniasaurus.

Anias: Week 10


The biggest news is that I rolled over for the first time today! Mom was reading Eli a book while we laid next to each other. I first rolled to my side so I could hug him, then I just kept on going to my belly! I had my first fever ever, but it was thankfully a really short one and didn't seem to bother me much. I'm into 6 month clothes now.

Eli:

Mom had to tell me "don't vacuum your brother" this week when I got a little carried away at the car wash. I help burp Anias and will tell him "it's ok baby, we're almost there" when we're in the car. Mom asked me this week what makes me happy and I said Anias. Her heart melted!

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...

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...

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...
