"oommm"

tonight i busted out my 'yoga for your pregnancy' DVD. i really really really want to have this baby 100% naturally like i did pooks so i figure i better start strengthening up now. between the yoga and work, i should be able to make it through labor and delivery *better* than i did last time. (maybe my screams won't scare the 1st time moms, lol).

anyways, as i was following the dvd, bubba decided he was going to too. b didn't get very many pictures (he was actually cleaning up the kitchen and doing dishes, so i can't complain)...here are the ones he did get.

bubba and i in the 'home seat' position (i think thats what its called, lol--its hard to hear when 2 little ones are working out with you):

while bubba and i were inhaling and exhaling, pooks was trying to turn it off! apparently yoga is not one of pooks interests!(i love the look of determination on his face, lol)

it was really cute when we were relaxing and loosening our legs (bubba sat on the floor next to me ''relaxing'' his (aka-kicking), and as i was attempting to move into the bridge position, bubba decided to sit ON me. not very relaxing.
from now on, i think i'll do the yoga AFTER the boys' bedtime. (which btw mom, they went to bed at 8:45 tonight--and still screamed. i don't know what the issue is!)

fun pictures from today!

today was beautiful out, so we took the boys outside to play for awhile. we didn't go to the zoo like we had originally planned...they napped til almost 3pm and the zoo closes at 5pm (plus its a big zoo and about 1/2 hour away). there just wasn't enough time. but we did run some errands, then played outside. here are the pics, enjoy ;)

bubba pulling (a very frightened) pooks in his new wagon
"seriously ma...enough with the pictures"
just a cute pic of the boys together, all ready for their walk
this pic is an oldie (from march) but I re-did the speech bubbles. so....what do you think?

if you are surprised beyond belief...WE KNOW HOW YOU FEEL! this was definitely a pleasant surprise. all i can hear in my head is ''with the severity of your endometriosis, you'll probably never be able to have your own kids''--said by a DOCTOR. yeah, he was wrong! not to mention the 5 surgeries I've had to remove scar tissue and the fact that i have ONE ovary!?!

B and i are firm believers in ''things happen for a reason''. while we are a bit overwhelmed, we are also excited. oh, and pooks speech bubble is right...if i figured it up right, i'm due about mid December. i'll keep everyone updated as i find out more. and i BEG of you, please send me all the ''girl'' vibes that you can!


HERE IS MY PROOF :)


Very first belly pic....4 weeks and 1 day

a little update on our little family...

i haven't updated in a couple days, so thought i would play catch-up for a second.

firstoff, bubba has an ear infection and allergies which basically = SNOT! everywhere. poor lil guy has even thrown up from all the drainage. he's been running a pretty constant fever and is super cuddly/clingy. obviously no pics. :(

pooks is crabby too, he is teething. both of his top two teeth have finally broken through the gums...at the same time. joy o joy, right? he's taken quite a few more bottles than usual lately, but still eats solids like a little piggy too!

b and i are (as a result of the above) TIRED! our plan for tomorrow is i will get up with the boys, b will sleep in, then i will nap with them in the afternoon and hopefully if all goes well (both with the boys and the weather) we are going to attempt to take them to the zoo. wish us luck! ;)

(on a side note if anyone knows where i can find/buy/steal (LOL) a Chicco C5 Twin Stroller, let me know. they are about $175 but I hear they are the best sidebyside strollers for the price. i need something for when we go on walks and to the zoo [normally i wear pooks but he's getting bigger and its getting hotter out] but i HATE the double strollers where they sit in front and behind. thanks in advance. donations gladly accepted! J/K!! )

CHEESE!!!


today was pooks silly day. i swear everything he did today was just too silly! his newest thing is scrunching up his face, tilting his head back and ''smiling'' when you have the camera and tell him "Cheese". he looks slightly crazy but you can't help but laugh. here ya go, see for your self!
"CHEESE" in the tub

a sly little "CHEESE"
and the infamous wave while cheesing, lol

here are a few other random pics from today. every morning now that bubba is in his big boy bed, he comes into our room and crawls into bed with me. we play til pooks wakes up. once pooks is up i get them dressed and they play some more while mommy wakes up. here are my little peeping toms this morning:

being cheesy in bed
oh and i absolutely can't forget to add these pics in here too! me wearing little miss diva in my homemade sling. i made this when i was preggo with pooks, hence why its teal instead of a 'girly' color. but she was very content and she feel asleep right away. i was able to watch both boys, and the baby while Auntie S got a nice long hot shower. it worked out perfectly!! she started to get sleep, i gave her her binky and about 30 secs after this pic...she was out!
