(i’m still pregnant. and bags are packed. and things are mostly clean. and so on. so, i am blogging.) we had thanksgiving at derek’s sister’s house. here’s the kidz table. it was very giggly. the cousins exchanged gifts (mostly because we got them a lego star wars advent calendar and we don’t have the family […]
lid kid everyday life
the finish line. or not quite.
well. today is my due date for this third (and last) baby. and it’s not looking very promising that she will be here any time soon. isaac was a few days early. anna was a few days late. but they were both induced. i was hoping this girl would be at least on time, if […]
39 weeks and 1 day.

i am in my 40th week of pregnancy. which is supposed to be the last. except anna proved that to be wrong. i don’t feel like there’s a baby who is ready to make her arrival. just fat. and tired. and ready. also. it’s thanksgiving. we are getting ready to head to derek’s sister’s house […]
kitchen table. birthday. and general kid cuteness.

things have been kind of low-key around here. trying to wrap up loose ends and get ready for the craziness to arrive. i have been hating our kitchen table situation for a long long time. the cushioned chairs are all completely stained and gross, because i gave up on cleaning them a long time ago. […]
thirty seven.
today i’m thirty seven weeks of pregnant. three to go… i’m starting to be a little on the side of miserable. losing my breath when i bend over to pick something up. feeling like beached whale when it’s time to roll over in bed. having all of my organs squished. (mostly bladder and lungs). constantly […]
school pics, thrifting, and more leaves…

i was pleasantly surprised with isaac’s school picture. more specifically, his smile. we’ve had some crazy ones in the past, and this one seemed pretty normal. i DO wish someone had helped him straighten his bow tie before the picture was taken, though. i’ve been working fast and furious to try to get a quilt […]
halloween festivities.

thursday was halloween. in case you missed it. isaac had a party at school to celebrate. well, not a party. a “special snack”. because they are allowed only two official parties in the year. so, i think they save them for the “winter break” and end of year. anyhooo… we (some moms) rolled in with […]
some october pics.

here’s the random, miscellaneous, mundane stuff that’s been going on around here for the last three weeks or so… we have been letting anna sleep on the bottom of isaac’s bunk bed a little more and a little more as we prepare for her room to be temporarily surrendered to the baby. eventually, she and […]
crazy kidney week.

so. well. we had a little excitement last week. on sunday night, i started to feel a little blah. then, that evening my lower back started to hurt. a lot. i hit up a heating pad and some baths and nothing was touching it. then, a fever rolled onto the scene. around 2 or so, […]
this is just how i blog now.

i know when i’ve been defeated. i can admit it. posting once every week or so, and just throwing up a bunch of captioned pics seems to be the way things are going now. and i’m ok with it. this blog post will be no different. it goes back about two and a half weeks […]
