Does my bedroom look like a hotel room?

Authors: GiGi


So, everyone who has stepped into my new and improved bedroom has said that it looks like a hotel room.  Cool by me!  I LOVE it.

When we moved into this house, we lost our mellow groovy all white and textured vibe and went with a more playful colorful toddler proof look.  My bedroom never really felt like a place to...

Is it Morning?

Authors: GiGi

One of our favorite things right now is that T wakes up and just looks around for awhile.  He drinks in the morning.  His sweet little eyes open and he stays snuggled in bed.

Once we wake up (or aknowledge that we're awake), he is a happy chirpy little guy wanting to chat and catch up.

This morning's sweet conversation:

T:...

Two bedrooms and two little boys

Authors: GiGi

We had our anatomy scan today.  They wouldn't let Bubbs into the room with me b/c he was late and they suck.  I had the tech write the sex down so we could see it for the first time together. 

He was so upset that he was stuck outside - I could just see it on his face when I walked out, but we opened the envelope and...

Decorating and Kicking

Authors: GiGi

18 weeks today.  This baby is KICKING - like so you can feel it on the outside.  Looking back, I think I felt it with T at 22 weeks (but my placenta was in the front).

Bubbs felt it this weekend and T keeps yelling, "my brother is kicking me!"  

My nausea is still horrible if I don't take my medicine, but as long...

little belly, little barfing

Authors: GiGi

Still barfing at 16 weeks.  Still nauseous. 

Little belly pooch and up two pounds (and growing).  (wanted to track so I could compare to T's pregnancy).

Could be the junk food I'm stuffing in my body.

My work cut my pay in January due to a union disagreement / imposed contract.  So, we can't afford for Tim to stay...

What just happened

Authors: GiGi

There's been radio silence on this blog for about 3 1/2 months.

Cause I've been working and barfing and not much else.

On top of that a family member had surgery (she's fine but I had to be her nurse), my son's school had a week's vacation, and we were trying to buy a river house.

So - this all took a bit of a back burner.

And - to be...

Month one - and I'm out.

Authors: GiGi

*written months ago - posted after notifying my boss (who I sincerely hope doesn't know this blog exists, but might)

So, we've officially been trying for one cycle.

(oh - yeah - I'm not publishing this yet - so you're reading WAY after the fact ).

I went a little nuts and even after day three of spotting (on days 9, 10, and 11 Days...

Holy Hell, I'm pregnant.

Authors: GiGi

*written months ago - posted after notifying my boss (who I sincerely hope doesn't know this blog exists, but might) 

I suppose I should have known this would happen.

Me getting pregnant and all.

Since I had my IUD removed and we were having sex while I ovulated.

I know. I KNOW.

What the hell were we thinking.

No, but really.

I...

We're having a baby!

*written July 18th

A week ago, I felt a major pinch in my side.  Similar to implantation.  I considered not telling Tim in case I was wrong, but wanted to be able to say I knew it if/when I was actually...

I have a leetle problem

Authors: GiGi

 *written months ago - posted after notifying my boss (who I sincerely hope doesn't know this blog exists, but might)

I'll be upfront about this.

I have a VERY addictive personality/genetic code. The majority of my relatives are functioning addicts. Luckily, I've MOSTLY avoided addiction.

I smoked for 10 years - about a pack a...
