Baby boy joy!

Christmas eve as we made out our card for Santa to leave with the plate of freshly baked cookies, we jokingly said, "ho ho ho, bring us a bro'" and Santa didn't disappoint. We had our ultrasound yesterday and were delighted to hear and see that we are indeed having a bro' for little man to play with and boss around. So now we are working on teaching him that he is a big boy and mama is having a baby. So many decisions to be made. Do we buy another crib? Try to get him ready for a big boy bed? The thought of him being able to get up and around on his own is slightly terrifying. He is too smart and totally knows how to open doors as it is. Decisions, decisions. Luckily all the other stuff gets to be recycled without concern for pink or blue.

My bump, my bump, my lovely lady bump

So seriously my stomach popped out this last week. I swear I look way more pregnant than I am. Right now, it feels like my belly walks into a room long before I do. Only 17 weeks, how can this be? Also, am still wearing regular pants, just a size bigger, but need the room of the maternity tops. Crazy. You'd think it was twins if we hadn't already seen that it's not. Can't imagine how soon you pop if you are on 3, 4, 5 or more.

Snow Day x 2

So we were off yesterday as I hoped so I didn't need to burn another sick day while we waited for little man to be 24 hours fever free. He took 2 gloriously long naps yesterday and I was able to get some much needed cleaning done as well as took stock of holiday treat ingredients needed for a weekend of cooking.

Today we are off again. The snow is blowing something fierce and the pond has a nice coating of ice on it. The blizzard of 09 is a welcome blessing here. Who knows what tomorrow will bring, but I am expecting to be back at work.

Sick day

While the traveling weather was great and he played like a champ with his 2nd cousins, we did not escape unscathed. Little man picked something up and has had a fever for the past 2 days. So we are home sick today and he is working on a two hour marathon morning nap. It is snowing and we are due for a mid week storm bringing even more snow and even rain. Snow day later in the week? I'll keep you posted.
