After Kyle’s post of my growing belly (which is at 20 weeks), I thought I’d do a recap of the pregnancy pics.
Here we are on ultrasound day at 18 weeks.
This is at 14 weeks, on the same day we heard her heartbeat for the first time.
Kade is already in love with his little sister.
Our [...]
Kade has a new love in his life - chocolate. Kyle and I make a point of keeping his diet healthy and relatively free of sugary treats. He is just as happy to eat an apple as a cookie, but now that has all changed. Check out Kyle’s Flickr page to see what I’m talking [...]
Kade gave me my first Mama injury today. We were happily playing with his new pirate ship, given to him by the Easter Bunny - and quite possibly his favorite toy ever, when out of the blue he hurls the cannon ball at my eye. It hurt and I immediately tear up. I move my [...]
I have wanted to buy Kade some flip flops for about a month now. When I attempted to try some on him at BabyGap he threw a royal fit, so I decided to give it a rest. Yesterday we were in Toys R Us and they had a cheap pair for like $5 so I [...]
I felt this little bean move very early on, at about 9-10 weeks, which made me wonder if there were actually 2 in there. I can feel her rolling about quite often now, but I still don’t have very frequent kicks, at least full-blown ones. She was VERY active at the ultrasound, basically doing somersaults [...]
Ok, so I spent all day Sunday on the verge of a breakdown and on Monday my little devil turned into a little angel. Kade has been so sweet the past two days. Yesterday he snuggled with me and we sang songs and just had the most perfect “Mommy and me” time. I really believe [...]
I need to vent. I am ready to unravel. Kade is testing every aspect of my already shaky patience. He is such a demanding and intense child. I don’t mean to complain because I count my blessings that he is such a healthy, secure, and beautiful toddler - but he is making me NUTS, and [...]
Not really, but why is it that the show that teaches everyone elses children the ABC’s, numbers, and how to speak Spanish is teaching my child bad habits? Kade insists on crumbling everything he eats into his mouth while happily smiling and saying “I’m Cookie Monster.” And there is a Pampers commercial that airs during [...]
I can’t believe how hard it is to come up with a girl’s name. When we were pregnant with Kade we had the name Ella Mia Roth picked out, which means “my Ella” in Italian. My grandmother, Ellen Kraus, is the most influential person in my life and we wanted to name our little girl [...]
