Re: GOOD MORNING, NINERS!!!

  • Can I do a confession? Andy and I exchanged 2nd wedding anniversary gifts last night because I'm so freaking impatient haha.

  • Morning! Are you hopped up on your DD K-cups?

    Baby B was throwing a rave in my belly this morning, and Matt just came home from his overnight shift at the hotel, so they were bonding for a minute, but he needed to sleep. 

    I poured myself some cheerios, but my milk says 7/27 on it... so when I started to eat it.... I got nervous... and ate a twix instead... Zip it! thank goodness for prenatals right? I might also eat a cliff bar... the sweet cravings are just outrageous.

    I nested a lot last night, put the crib together, bought a few decor items for his room, bought a few outfits... I'm getting so excited to put it all together.

    How is everyone doing this fine morning?

  • Good morning MB! I haven't had a chance to be around these parts lately, and I have missed it.  I am hopped up on caffeine right now too and loving it.  

     Not too much going on today, hoping to maybe go to the lake later if P takes a nap so we shall see.  

    Has napping improved at all with Sammie?   

  • Steese, that is too cute!  I totally do the same thing with gifts, which is why I never let myself buy things in advance.  What did you guys get each other?
  • I am so impatient! I always tell people what I get them for holidays haha. But I was really excited about Andys gift because I made him an album. I've been asking him for days if he wanted his gift and he says, "Not today, ask me tomorrow." But last night he asked me if I wanted mine and I said, "YES!!!" I mean, I was just being honest haha.

    He said he wanted to try and visit all of the State Parks in PA as like something for us to do together. A goal of sorts. So I made him a "passport." I covered a 3 ring binder (in cotton!) and cut out the front and inserted a photo and a title. Then I filled it with all of the parks (125) organized by county and alphabetically. Each park has a page with the name, a spot for a photo, and lines for when we went and what we did. Then I also added a map of each park. I got this adorable recycled paper with skunks and owls and beavers and birds on them and used them for the county tabs to add a little color/fun.

    He got me a pearl necklace and earring set :)

    Wow that is such a creative gift, I would be too excited to wait too!!

    Hi Genevieve!!!  I have missed you!  How is Parker doing??

    Samma is still hating her naps... but we might have a system down where we just lie her down after her 10am and 2pm bottles.... it's still a work in progress.  So long as she sleeps through the night, I'm not complaining...

  • GOOD MORNING NINERS!

    I'm super tired today, the weather isn't helping.

    I am also unhappy with the most recent twist in my book.  For those reading Game of Thrones- wtf.  I don't even know if I can continue on with this series.

    That is such an awesome idea!!!

  • I have been in a super cranky mood for the past 2.5 weeks. Today is the first day I don't feel like stabbing everyone around me, so perhaps I'll actually post. Gasp!

    Aww, thanks.  :)  He is doing great!  Definitely keeps me busy but we are having a lot of fun.  Glad you guys got a napping system into place and are working on that.  He is still all over the place with naps and nighttime sleeping as well.   I never knew it could be SO challenging!!  

    How is the party planning going?  Can't believe how soon her bday will be here!

    Tell me about it!  I can't believe how fast the time went...

    Planning is coming along slowly... I have the guestlist done, invitations have been purchased and will be mailed to family by the weekend, the FB event has been created for friends who want to come.  We know where it's going to be, and I've even started an Amazon WishList for Samma because people are already asking me what she wants.... *phew!*

  • Stees, I am seriously impressed by both anniversary gifts.  Well done, and yay for pearls!

    MB - the new pic of Samma with the dog is too much.  How is WW going?  Sounds like you have been really trying to stick to it.

    Genevieve- Just caught up on your blog.  Adorable 1st birthday party, and I loved Lucas' first guest post.  He is too cute!  Looks like you guys are having a great summer!

    Yeah -- Sam LOVES dogs... I just wish Loki would let her snug with him like that.  Luckily, MIL's lab will suffice.

    And WW hasn't been too bad!  10.2 down as of Sunday, so I'm content...

  • Sounds like you on top of everything for the party MB!  And that is a great idea about the Amazon wishlist.  I totally should have done that because everyone kept asking what they should get him.  

    Hey Kass!  How are you guys doing??  We are having a great summer, can't believe how quickly it is flying by.  Thanks about L's post, he was quite excited about it.  ;)

    I agree, way to go MB! 

  • Thanks guys! I'm normally not really crafty, and I put probably a good 45 hours into it. I was concerned if it would actually turn out to look like the vision that I had, but it did! Andy was impressed with my thought and craftiness :)

    We are doing good, thanks!  I agree, summer is going way too quick.  I got a little depressed thinking about it this past Sunday.  We've had a busy yet fun summer.  Still lots to do in August, I just know it is going to fly by!

  • Morning Niners!  I took a mental health day today or I was afraid I was going to go postal on my gals at work.  Also had a migraine that kept me up a lot of the night, so it was an easy decision to make.  So I'm still in my pjs blogging.

    Let me know when you make your way over to Ohiopyle. We love going to Ohiopyle and may "accidentally" run into you. Wink

    I will! First on the list, I want to go to Presque Isle. Have you ever been there?

    Also. Some of them have funny names. Like Poe Paddy *giggle*

    No, I actually had to look up where Presque Isle even was. I haven't even been to Erie. The farthest north I've been in PA is Grove City, which is about and hour and a half south of Erie. I have been to Sandusky, Ohio, though....closest I've been to Erie. Guess I need to explore my state some more!!

    And P.S. if you like National Historic Sites, there are a bunch within driving distance of Ohiopyle (and one of those is within 3 miles of MY HOUSE!!!) If you get the chance, check out Fallingwater, Fort Necessity, and Friendship Hill (then after Friendship Hill, you can come hang out with me!)
