Hit the Baby

I am sorry that I’ve been lame at blogging.  This pregnancy is my sickest yet and I’ve started throwing up again and just not feeling like doing much.  But with only a month left, I can hang in there.

Here is my favorite home video we have ever taken.  It was taken of Scarlett, just before I had Autumn.  She is excited to be a big sister and hit the baby!  People are always asking me to resend the link to this video so I thought I should just post it.  It is pretty hysterical.

Baby Girl #3???

I used an online program to morph us and see what our next child will look like. I think she looks nothing like my other two girls but it was entertaining!

Ramblings

– I was not blown away by these healthier ‘no bake bars‘.  They were good but just not something I was tempted to go back to the pan for.

– I did love this!

– Since I will be in the hospital with our new baby girl this year, I think she needs a pumpkin or witch hat for some hospital photos.  Is  it too much to have a sweet newborn in a witch hat?

– Life just got easier! Did you know you can pay for pizza slices, with your groceries at Costco, and then just walk up and pick up your slices.  I love that it eliminates another long line in my life!

– Easiest homemade chicken broth ever.  I’ll be using this often.

– A mad squirrel attacked Autumn in the sandbox and left her with 4 bleeding cuts.   I no longer like squirrels. Not one bit.  Oh, and for those who are worried about rabies, it’s not an issue with squirrels apparently.  There have been only a handful of cases ever.  Both my pediatrician and animal control told me not to worry about it.

– Bag-less vacuums gross me out to no end!  I WANT a bag.   I don’t want to change that dirt filter and deal with the dust cloud that emerges when you do.  After I vacuum up a mess, I  never want to see it again .  I’m amazed that so many people purchase the bag-less variety.   I just don’t get it.

– It looks like this may be my first pregnancy where I am not put on bedrest.  I am relieved.

– 32 weeks along…. 7 more to go.  I am only 1 lb away from my delivery weight with Autumn.  Uh- oh.   That’s what happens when you are nauseated for 19 weeks and eats loads of carbs and soda to feel better.

– At my OBGYN Clinic, the average age of their pregnant patients is 38.

– TOMS shoes may have the worse customer service on earth.  I will never buy again (at least through them).

– My favorite new blog!!!  http://www.diminutivereview.com/.  It’s all about shopping deals for kids.

– I don’t cry often but I feel overdue for a good cry session.  I need it.
