moments in the mommyhood - beds, bellies and a budding artist

we've been doing a lot of laying in bed lately. i'll take it when i can get it folks, i am in the third trimester after all.

i love staring into those baby blues but man, oh man, do i wish i had been blessed with her hair.

i've been daydreaming a lot about the new little bean and trying to focus on our birth plan and some of the hitches that have recently been thrown into it. i'm staying positive though... or trying to that is...haha.

i thought i should show you guys what i usually look like with my 31 week belly during the day, yep, the la senza xmas special. almost at the point that i won't be able to wear them anymore but just so darned comfy i'm dreading the day i can't. i figure a good portion of you prolly look the same way and are sitting at your computers donned in similar standby outfits. oh, and yes, the yoga pants are in the mix, but i tend to do a rotation - yoga, jammy, yoga, jammy. i know i'm not alone ladies......

i also couldn't resist showing you this drawing that mackenzie made a few weeks ago that just melts my heart every time i see it. it was one of her first attempts at drawing people. she says it mommy, daddy, her and the baby all holding hands. i think she's got something going seeing as she isn't even 3 yet and now she even puts faces on them! too cute...my little budding artist.


what's going on in your mommyhood today? we've been dealing with another growth spurt, which equals in our house, no sleep, crankiness, yelling, not wanting to wear clothes, painting furniture with yogurt, strawberry stains on the carpet, a lot of snacking on her part, a few tantrums and the oh, so famous, "mom, i want to do it all by myself" and not in a good way tone. do they ever end??? and i wonder why i don't leave the sanctum of my house on those days.

wanna share about your week?

  1. Cute cute pictures!
    Our week has been crazy with three kids in car seats and one tiny KIA rental due to the fact that I front-ended a friends truck with our van. Makes for a logistical nightmare. But getting through it b/c tonight the in-laws come into town to stay with the kids while hubby and I leave town for the weekend and our 10th anniversary...CAN'T WAIT!

  5. Jenny - OMG, what a nightmare! EEk! I hope you have a wonderful weekend though! sounds romantic and blissful :)

    Hilary - Thanks! I liked it too!

    Jenn - She did get blessed with some big baby blues that girl. Thanks for the kind words :)

    Prudence - The jammies are super soft too, kind of like a fleece but not too hot. I will be sad when I can't get the belly in anymore, they already fall down a lot when I walk :( I'm excited to see your entry! That contest sounds like so much fun!

  6. OMG we could be twins! At 34 weeks I am loving any minute I can lay my head down. Not to mention hearing my 3 y/o call out from the public toilet last week..... "I am under control in here THANK YOU MUM!"

If you would like for me to write you back instead, just leave your email addy (blogger doesn't always give it to me) and I'll send you a hello!
