Coming out of my cocoon...

Being pregnant does not sit well with me. I am an awful pregnant person and I always get the best of it: all day morning sickness, headaches that turn into migraines, nausea, vomiting...all that great stuff that comes with growing a baby!

Well, we are 13 weeks now and I am starting to feel a bit better. Had a couple bouts of dehydration thanks to some migraines that left me in the hospital, but I think this second trimester will do me better than the first!

So here I am...all prego and looking like I should be in my third trimester! Yikes!!! Still got way too long to go!


Happy Valentine's Day everyone!

so, so sick.

today i woke up and was buckling micah up to take colby to school when i realized there was glass everywhere.

our car got broken into during the night and my louis vuitton was stolen along with all my credit cards/bankcards and checks.

I was obviously sick about it and not feeling good thanks to the pregnancy.

After a whirlwind morning of calling the cops, insurance, and banks as well as private stores i had cards with, i just told myself i needed some rest.

as soon as my head hit the pillow i bolted up.

my wedding ring. i left my wedding ring in my purse. i took it off to get my eyebrows threaded and i had been feeling swollen thanks to the baby, so i took it off and now it is gone.

i am so sad i can't even put it in words.

One day, down...

One more to go! :) lots more pictures to come!

Closer every day!

Friday Colby brought home a "countdown to Christmas" art activity he made in school. So, I guess its official! Countdown is on!

I'm happy to say we are just about finished with Christmas shopping and I can't wait to see the little ones on Christmas morning!

And I think I am most excited about Colby having a couple weeks off of school. His kindergarten days haven't been easy on my night owl lifestyle! :) I'm ready to sleep in!


Oh. And on a separate note, tonight after I refused to be chocolate covered graham crackers for Colby, he told me, "Mom...you're pretty, but I don't want to be a part of this family anymore." ????

And yesterday, when playing a video game with Billy, he said, "These wings are organic."

Love that kid.

Finally!

I know I said I was going to post Micah's b-day invitations that I designed and Billy was so sweet to bring my vision to life, SO after seeing Jordan Ferney's post of the darling invitations she did for her son, I decided to get in gear and post Micah's!

Like I said, it was a fern animal inspired party and so of course we had to throw some pictures of our fern animals on there!

Yesterday.

Yesterday we had some family photos taken by Gary Roberts for our Christmas cards.

We left to go eat some California Pizza Kitchen while he burned a disc with all the raw images on it.

I asked my sister, who is friends with Gary, "Do you think he'll put all the pictures on it or weed out the ones that are obviously no good?"

To which Colby said, "We'll still get to see the dinosaur ones, right mom?" (!@#(*@&?)

SO. We got home to find oh...I dunno...like 7 pictures of Colby doing this. THANK YOU Colby. You made Tabitha laugh until she cried!

Here's To...

a quarter of a century.

Happy 25th Birthday William!

(and Cody...wherever you are!)
