Mess

I found Keira playing under the bathroom sink.. and I said "Keira what are you doing??" And she said... "Keira!!! Mess!!" :o)

Pantry shelves....

Mike tore apart our pantry shevles this past weekend.. we found more lovely green paint and paneling!!!!

Belly Belly

We aren't sure who looks more pregnant in this house... Tanya with her bloated belly, Mike with his sugar/candy/soda gut, or Keira with her breastmilk pouch. Keira wins the prize for the cutest belly for sure!

Keira is enjoying the fact...

that I am to to tired and yucky feeling to care that she is eating on my bed


or not wearing a shirt


spilling cheesy corn puff thingies on my quilt.




and jumping on my bed

AHHHH

Is anyone anyone else having issues with blogger??? Everytime I upload pics they don't show!!! I don't have the patience for this!

Baby care

Keira loves caring for her babies... here she is giving them a bath


Changing their cloth diapers


And here you can't really tell but she has a hair band in her hand and is trying to put it on her baby. Lets hope she is still into baby care in October.

You know you are pregnant when

You are a health freak and you are eating Wendy's for dinner.
Your toddler is eating canned chicken noddle soup and your husband is eating blue Jello.

Shelves

Mike decided to put in some much needed shelving in our lower cabinets. The cabinets only came with 1 shelf. Here is Keira "helping".

Wild... post shower hairdo

40 Degree Sunday Walk

The sun was shining and the forecast promised 40 degree warmth so we headed outside for a walk. By the time we got out there the clouds had rolled in and the wind picked up. It wasn't as warm as I had hoped but we did have some snowmelt going on. I can see parts of my mailbox again......

Neglected Blog

Our blog hasn't been very exciting this week.... I haven't posted much because I am exceedingly annoyed at the computer. Its not working again. Mike's says he has replaced everything except the wireless card so he will do that Monday. It just constantly loses Internet connection. On top of that Blogger and Picasa haven't been working together and half of the pics I upload and post about don't show up and all in all I have been basically ignoring the whole thing! Mike ended up not working on much this week so it was nice to just hang out and be a family. Keira loves having daddy home and wants to know were we both are at all times. We did get a few things done ( besides the basement which Mike totally cleaned out).. the truck needed an alignment so we did that. Yesterday we meant with both a Realtor and a mortgage refinance guy to assess our options. Basically since the market is so messed up right now we do have the option of selling our house since its 75% or so updated and buying a much larger house for the same price that needs lots of cosmetic work. Its really really tempting because we are desperate for more space but not really wanted to undertake a whole house full of issues since our house is about 75% updated..( we will never cease to find projects to do both indoors and out but that's another story) We aren't positive yet but we will probably end up just refinancing at a lower interest rate and having a lower monthly payment every month and maybe we able to move in another 3 years or so. We are still thinking about it.... but thats all the news around here. Hope to be able to upload some pics soon!

Did you know???

That Oct 5th is the most popular birthday in America? Apparently right around the New Year is a popular time for conception. My theory is that it's cold, dark and the excitement of Christmas is over... in other words people have nothing else to do....... What I am really trying to say is...











we happen to be some of those people. Check out the little surprise we got on Sunday afternoon. Keira's pregnancy was the longest 39 and 3/4 weeks of my life. This time I found out even earlier-lucky me!! On Sunday I was exactly 3 weeks and 5 days pregnant. Yeah.. its super super early, today I am 4 weeks. Due date of around Oct 14th I believe. We are looking into different birthing options (birthing center or a home birth). Or maybe we will just go with your standard, boring hospital birth. I haven't decided yet.
Now I try not to get too excited and wait for the purgatory on earth known as morning sickness aka 24-7 nausea and vomiting to rear its ugly head. Maybe it will pass over me this time and torture someone else..... I doubt it!!
The thought of meeting the next Little Bean to be is truly exciting. The thought of being pregnant for the next 40 weeks- not so much. I am not of of those woman that "glows" during pregnancy and I am not one of those woman that enjoys being pregnant. I am sure I will survive. I did once before.
