Countdown to the "birth"day begins...

Some quick facts about a year ago this week:

1. A year ago yesterday was my first day home from work on maternity leave. Why I only went out a week before my due date is beyond me. That day, I woke up early with Steve, made peanut butter cookies, Diana came over and I babysat Logan for a little bit. Diana and Logan played guitar hero together. Oh and we had a short power outage (man my memory is good).


2. A year ago today, I had a sonogram appt to check to make sure everything was okay and that was when they discovered that Luke was breech. The sonogram tech said that was a good thing b/c she was estimating the baby's weight at 9 lbs. Boy was she wrong! So I was scheduled for a c-section two days after that. Also on this date one year ago, we brought Steve to the ER where he was diagnosed with pneumonia. So he was quarantined to his parents house and I stayed home.

3. A year ago tomorrow, I called my mom in the am crying b/c Steve was sick and I was home alone and like the great mom that she is, she came over and we got the house prepped for the baby's arrival and my recovery. Oh and she even brought me some cappuccino frozen yogurt which I ate until midnight that night.

I think that you all know what happened a year ago saturday...more reminiscing to come...

Bella is so good...

As much of a freak that Bella is, she is SO good with Luke...case in point...

Yummy...

What is it about certain things/words that set Luke off? First it was the ponytail flipping shown here; then it was oops-a-daisy shown here; and now here is the latest:


Notice that I'm saying "yum" and "yummy" and that is what's cracking him up? Also notice how he is saying it too? I guess this is what happens to babies when their moms say yum for each bite they give them.

So long peaceful baby from the top photo...

Hello splashing boy who takes baths in 1/4" deep water.

video should work now...

for those that couldn't view the pic of Luke in the snow, you should be able to now. Leave me a comment if you can't. I'll keep his videos public until I can find a better site to host them on. Thanks!
