That would be 12 weeks 1 day 13 hours and 45 minutes ago.;) She is doing wonderfully, we are all doing great. She is napping right now IN HER CRIB! which is why I am writing right now… typically she naps on mommy with her nose shoved right up against my booby. I guess she wants to know that it isn’t going anywhere...

I was GUT SPLITTING proud of Ethan today. We had our hospital tour and we had all kinds of discussions about behaving. At the dinner table last night he said ‘Being have is hard sometimes.’ snarf. And we were fully prepared to yank him out of there if he didn’t behave. BUT THE BOY WAS A PEACH! He has been obsessing about...

I can’t get enough of these two on Dancing with the Stars: The first time I watched it (yes, I rewound and watched it twice, get over it) I couldn’t even look at him, I was SO focused on her. She is such a doll, and what was that outfit?! Basically a leotard with dangly sparkly bits! She was HOT! The hair I could have...

And we have drapes, thanks to Grandmother. They are PERFECT and breath-taking. And the chandelier that had to be just so to fit in the space, note the clouds on the ceiling;). She must have shelves, but of course.;) And that big metal thing with the tape above the crib is an electrical outlet cap that we need to...

When I found out I was having a girl all I could do was see pink. I am STILL seeing pink actually… I bought some large fabulous natural pink pearls, some pink opal, some pink tourmaline. And then I thought, not everyone is seeing pink like me, let’s get some blue and then there are those people who want to be gender...

My husband and Ethan both picked teams for March Madness.  Ethan picked Butler to go all the way, you know cause it has the word butt in it.  If that isn’t a winning strategy, I don’t know what is.;) CDM

I’ve been nesting like crazy lately. Trying to get the 4×6 closet that we are converting into the princess’ nursery ready for royalty.;) Here are the befores: Here are the durings: The actual color is more like this which is a lavender striae over a blue base: and the ceiling looks like this: and here is proof that...

I took a wee break from blogging, too many things going on in life! The biggest news is that we are expecting a girl in May and we couldn’t be more excited. Although it does throw things into a tizzy! We are renovating our ‘closet’ into her ‘nursery’, the space is a teeny bit larger than 4×6 and has a window so shut...

Ethan and I are in the car the other day and we are talking about why he changed preschools.  I see every ‘discussion’ as an opportunity to brainwash and we start talking about how when people get older they move on to different schools. Me: Next you will go to kindergarden, then elementary school, then middle school,...

I saw my gem guy yesterday, he had tons of great stuff as he always does.  I had on my list white topaz, pearls, deep purple amethyst and vibrant red garnet.  Apparently eggplant is the new black for fall.;)  I came home with NO dark amethyst.  I don’t know what happened, I had it in my hot little hands yet...
