1st Belly Pic Post v. 2

Hello world -
It has been crazy here - getting ready for Christmas, getting ready for Aunt Soup's arrival, just getting ready! E and I are very much enjoying our time together as a Stay at Home Twosome. We've kept very busy and are getting into the swing of things. E has started to drop his morning nap...which has been fun for everyone!
As promised (in the title) here is my first belly shot for this pregnancy:


This was taken last night, so I was 14 weeks 1 day pregnant! I keep asking Mickey and Charles if I appear to be getting a serious beer gut or if I actually look pregnant. They assure me it's not looking like a beer gut anymore...hmmmm.
EDIT: Ok, great suggestion! Here is my 12 week belly pic with E (I can't find a 14 week shot...):


Hard to really tell a difference as my belly is au naturel in the second shot and all sweater covered in the first...I think I might be bigger already, though! Whee! Yeah for second babies!

Cheers, everyone!

Genius!

Isn't this the coolest looking baby product you've ever seen?!?!?!?

You can buy it here. I read it about it on another Mom blog, Mamaista, which you should all check out, as well.
I know this is so not related to our household, but it's what I've been up to. Other than copious amounts of never ending cleaning...is it me, or does the house produce so much more chaos around the holidays?!?!?!?
On an excellent note: less than TWO days until Auntie Soup takes to the skies to visit the O household! Can't wait!!!!!!!!!

I'm coming out...

I want the world to know, got to let it show!




Here's the deal, world: I am pregnant! WAHOO!!!!!!!!!!!! Estimated due date of June 21, 2010. E and Junebug will be 22 months apart. Wheeeeee! Let the chaos continue (?), begin (?), expand (?)!

The above picture is Junebug with their head on the left and bottom on the right, back to the camera. It's their little "crown to rump" measurement picture...whichw as perfect. This was done at our 12 week Nuchal Transluscency scan...which came back perfect! We have a less than 1 in 10,000 chance of baby having a long list of complications.

So, that's the scoop!

Cheerio!

Torture?

Nah...I like to think of it more as a right of passage.
E did very well with Santa. Well, after he stopped doing the lowest lip pout Mickey and I have ever seen. And after he stopped screaming. OK and after he stopped reaching for us, like, "get me outta here, people!"
I tried to warm him up to the fat man in the suit. We sat there and talked to him for a few minutes. I showed him the shiny buttons on his coat. We checked out his gloves. And his fur-trimmed sleeves.
Nope.
Unimpressed.

Here for your viewing pleasure:


Merry Christmas!

Gobble Gobble


Hello fair readers!
The O clan is off to the great big wilderness of the City for this Thanksgiving holiday! We are very, very excited to be getting out of Dodge and to see our friends and family in the Emerald City! Wheeee! We'll back next week and I will update with photos and stories, I'm sure.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours - may you have much to be thankful for in the coming days (and beyond).
Cheers -
Hillary
PS One of the many things we are thankful for this season is that Miss Olive-Bean has recovered very well from her surgery and gets her stitches out tomorrow morning. It's been a bit tricky trying to keep her little frisky self in check - which makes me happy since that makes it seem like she's for sure feeling better!
