Dear Baby: Things you need to know about your mother.

Dear baby,
I know right now, I am nothing more than an incubater for you. But I think that there a few things that you should know about your mother.
1. I can't spell. Particularly, words like February tend to throw me off.
2. I used to be capable of having a full time job and doing things for Jesus at night. While you probably don't realize this as you are safely in my tummy and like to nap with me and make me nauseous. I used to be very busy doing things that I thought were important.
3. I don't like animals so I just want to lay the ground work now that you will probably never have pets.
4. I like things clean but I am not a good cleaner. We used to have a wonderful woman named Donna that would clean for us. I will not be her.
5. I really like Jesus. And I believe that he is the one that has given you to us.
6. I have a severe sugar addiction. And if this pregnancy is any indication, I think that you will have this also. I have no shame in taking you with me to binge on chocolate outside of the grocery store and hide the wrapper so that Daddy will never know (this is a true story, I ate an entire valentines heart of chocolates.)
7. I can't eat wheat. I have an allergy. I am praying that you do not have this baby. You deserve brownies, and cookies, and gold fish crackers.
8. I like to jump and dance. However, right now you do not. On Sunday I decided to spin in a circle. It took me 30 minutes to recover.....
9. I love the color red. I had a red wedding. We have a red couch.
10. I like to run. Its how I hear God alot. (This is included to remind myself that I do like to run, even though my stomach does not like to cooperate right now...someday I want to run a marathon.)

Growing like a bean

Another brilliant baby idea! :) I thought this would come in handy to measure our little bean. He seems to grow so quickly, this can keep us up to date. It's a baby measuring sheet, just lay babies head in the center and it tells you how long they are. Parents can measure baby from any direction, find more photos and info here.

Childbirth, Childbirth everywhere

We attended our first childbirth class last night, an event that neither Daniel or I was looking that forward to. I was hesitant for a few reasons, one being that the minute I put this on the calender THREE MONTHS AGO, other events happening on these specific Mondays have been coming up. Secondly, is that my husband has a condition that happens during every parenting type of class that we go to, lets call it "giggle-at-inappropriate-times disease." It's not that he is not interested in the topics, but for some reason the other parents in the classes that we go to are usually really reserved and quite. So we will sit in silence waiting for the class to begin, sit silently through the class and then leave. Daniel's response to this is to make jokes and laugh throughout the class. Childbirth class has been no exception to this trend, and I joined him in the giggling this time. Although it hurt so bad to try to hold in my laughter, I began to have tears. All of th...

Alternative Diaper Bag

We have been having a struggle finding the ultimate diaper bag. I have purchased two so far and looked a hundred more. We are looking for one that can hold all of our stuff, fit into the basket of our stroller, and looks trendy so Daniel can carry it and not be totally awkward. We recently switched to an old backpack that I had. It seems to be working, but my search continues. Today I found this.... it's a jacket for dads that functions as a diaper bag. All the storage, coolness and functionality we are looking for and its hands free! And as a bonus, it basically ensures that Daniel would be the one changing diapers. It has a changing pad in the back pocket and an easy access wipes pocket. It also has a side pocket for bottle. GENIUS!!! www.dadgear.com
