Well hello all you lovely boys and girls and welcome to the New Year! I hope that this year has began just as fabulous as mine. We haven’t really done much but hang out, but who cares? I have Steve and Chase and that’s the beginning of a good year to me.

I’m 26 weeks today and that’s pretty rad. I feel amazing, but I have noticed that I have to slow down a bit - especially toward the end of the day if I’ve been running around all day. I gots things to do though, yo! LOL! Chase is a laid back kicker thus far, only kicking the crap out of me a handful of times...but he’s definitely kicking all the time. He loves to kick and kick and when I raise my shirt so that Steve and I can see, he quits. I guess he gets cold or shy. Shy would be interesting considering I am far from it.

We’ve started preparing for an eight week stint in Montgomery, AL starting on Sunday. When we get back in March, I’ll be 35 weeks! Holy macaroni and cheese! I’m starting to get a little nervous, but nothing too out of control. Steve will be a great coach and Suzy and Trina are great. I also read a lot of natural birth boards to hear positive messages versus the negativity that comes with wanting a home birth/natural. Which is beyond strange to me, since I’m not the one doping my kid up with all sorts of junk and doing unnecessary interventions. I’m all about informed consent and if you are informed and still chose to do things differently, more power to you. I just ask that everyone inform themselves about your choices and what you DO have a choice in. Ok, that was my spill. I probably should have left that alone, but for the people who truly know me - they know that I can’t ever really leave anything alone. I love everyone! Puppy dogs and rainbows to all!!! :-)

On a lighter note, I’m attaching some pics of what we’ve got put together for the babester thus far. Not too much going on in the way of that, just wanted to share.

26 Weeks, yo!


The yellow blanket was Steve’s when he was little! The multi-colored was made by my bro-in-law’s umm...friend that’s a girl and the green one was made by a mom of one of my students. Super sweet!

Thanks Adam and Ally!! Chase has a cute game day outfit AND a possible Halloween costume! Too cute!!!!

Cloth diaper stash: We only have 13 so far, working on getting more. Tiffany (Bradley instructor) is going to give us a dozen pre-folds with some covers, so we’re pretty excited about that.

And that’s all folks! I swear I tried to make this shorter as far as getting the pics next to each other versus below, but I can’t figure out what I did last time. Who really knows. It’s about my bed time. Until next time...
