Baby Update!

For the first time in 35.4 weeks, I got a decent view of Baby Colin! I was absolutely clear walking into the ultrasound room that I must see my child's face. My first ultrasound was at only 9 weeks, and kidney beans don't have features. The next was at 17 weeks and he hid his face. My last one was with a specialist and they could give a crap who he looks like. I needed to see my little Prince.

He looks a lot like his big sister, my beautiful little Kellan :)

As of now he's about 6 pounds, give or take 7 ounces. He's right on target with his length and in the 68% percentile in weight. Although we all know that OB predictions are a load of crap, he does seem to be slightly smaller then Kellan. Whew....

When is he coming? No one is sure, obviously. But the last two nights have been painful with an end result of Twinkle Toes head down and tickling my rib cage. He's jammed waaaay down there, so it's only going to be about two weeks. My placenta is a grade three, so I get NST's twice a week now (not following? Google it punk). Holy hell, I have no nursery still.... Off to clean the bassinett!


P.S. I hope celebrating the Fourth of July downriver doesn't blow chunks.

Happy 2 1/2 years my beautiful Goldilocks. Mommy love you!

I Give Up On Hollywood!


According to new reports, Lil' Wayne will be fathering two new sons by different women this year!

Singer Nivea Hamilton and model Lauren London are said to be pregnant by the fool rapper.

Wayne is rumored to be marrying Nivea in the next few months but plans to participate in raising the baby with Lauren as well.

Lil' already ha s two kids from a previous relationship.

Just so ya'll know, no one on the corner got "Swagger" like Weezy.


P.S. I have to be honest here though. From the shoulders to the knees, he's ROCKIN'. I can't be totally surprised. I mean, with a great chest and abs, you dramatically increase your odds of "makin' babies". For instance: while watching the movie "Hostage" with Bruce Willis yesterday..... do you think I was thinking about his awesome acting skills? Hell no! I was in La La Land with scenes of him in uniform and in underwear. Come on people, give me a break here! You all know what I'm talking about...

Dear God in Heaven,

I am thankful for two things today:
1. Letting my little pumpkin grow ten feet taller this calendar year.
2. Instilling in me a whole new set of neurotic worries as if I wasn't a neurotic enough mom already.




Dear God in Heaven,
Please protect my precious first born that I guard with my life as she enters adulthood. From the moment she was born I have seen flashes of her getting on the school bus on her first day of school, seeing her off on her first date, and watching her drive away to a friends house the first day she gets her license.
It's the latter of these three that stops my heart from beating. It is widely known amongst my family that at least one female from every generation has a natural affinity for colliding with large detached dwellings that cost large amounts of money to replace. We are also known to do things such as eat, apply make up, chatter, text, read, and even sleep behind the wheel causing many near death experiences.

I'm getting ahead of myself. Kellan has a long way until she can reach her little wormy toes to the pedal behind a steering wheel. Instead she is hitting wonderful milestones such as this:
(see below)






Until now.
.....






Barbie Beach cruiser: Ages 4+. Why? Height requirement estimates this age and up to be able to reach the pedal.

Oh dear God....

Time For Some Cousin Lovin'

Yesterday my sister Emily came up for the day to just plain hang out. How often do we get a chance to do that? Answer: not often enough. It was a blast. The kids had fun playing up a storm and Kellan crashed hard by the end of the day. Even though there is not a whole lot more to tell, I still wanted to post a couple of pictures from the day to share....

Weapon of choice? Inside out Oreo cookie. Score.


Ben makin' the moves on my little girl ;)


Gotcha!
