Thursday Thoughts

ONE

I did something I said I'd never do as a parent. I let my toddler wear light up character shoes. I caved when he wasn't feeling good one day and we came across a pair of Paw Patrol light up sandals. He needed some sandals for school so why not let them be Paw Patrol and light up?! I'm sure he's the talk of his class today. haha

TWO

My best friend (HEYYY MC!! Hope you're having the best time on your honeymoon!) got married last weekend and I designed the programs for the ceremony. I was so nervous to see them after they'd been professionally printed but they looked great! I'm really proud of myself and they were exactly what she was looking for. It made me really happy to be able to help in that small way.

THREE

Beckett's 2nd birthday is next Saturday and I need to step it up. I looked at pictures from his 1st birthday party hoping to inspire myself to get going but it discouraged me because I totally knocked it out of the park last year. Every little detail was so well thought out and I planned for a good 4 months. This year the most I've done is design and print invitations (I'll share those when I share a post on his party), only to hand out two of them. I've sent them electronically to everyone else and I'm really bummed because they are super cute! Oh, and we bought some dog bowls (it's a Paw Patrol themed party.. another thing I said I'd never do) for the food display. I guess I should also give myself credit for getting the cake taken care of ahead of time as well. Props to my husby for working to make sure the outside of our house looks good as well!

For fun, here is a small peek back at Beckett's first party!

FOUR

Joey is fortunate enough to get 4 weeks of paid parental leave when I have the baby (major props to companies who offer this!!)! Having him home for the first week after having Beckett was great, especially since I ended up having a c-section and relied heavily on him for making sure I got my meds and Beckett was fed every two hours (he wrote down every diaper change and nursing session for the first few weeks which was really helpful). I'm looking forward to the extra help as we transition to a family of four but I'm fairly certain that we may kill each other.

Lincoln - 1 Year

It's hard to believe that our precious baby boy is 1. He still seems like such a baby to us, so much smaller than B was at this age (unless our memories have completely failed us). The day he was born was perfection. It will always be one of my most favorite days ever.  We had very few visitors, at our request (of course big brother had to be there!) and were able to enjoy the full day together since the scheduled c section was early in the morning. It was the sweetest day and I'll never forget how special his birthday was or how happy I felt to have another sweet baby boy to love. The first year went a little differently than B's first year. We didn't co-sleep after 1 month, we only made it to 10 months breastfeeding because of the 3rd pregnancy/miscarriage (which is still a major accomplishment but B went 15 months so of course I had guilt over that), we had a TIME trying to get him to sleep at night. Weight: 21.4 lbs, Length: 29.5" [caption id="attachment_4...

Baby #2 - Sharing the news

After trying for baby #2 for several months, we were thrilled to find out in October that we'd be welcoming a new baby in 2016! Since we knew exactly how far along I was this time (we had no clue with Beckett, I was about 7 weeks along and had no clue until my doctor had me take a test at his office before prescribing me fertility drugs) we knew we'd wait a few weeks before we shared the news. We decided that since I'd be 11 weeks on Thanksgiving we'd share the news with our families at our dinners. We had the first one on Wednesday evening and it was such a relief to finally start sharing the news. After dinner we went over to my mom's house to share the news with them since our dinner with them wouldn't be until the next evening. I'd made a cute craft with Beckett to make it a little more special for them. [caption id="attachment_512" align="alignnone" width="2787"] The boxes lifted up and under them it said (1) I'm going...

Lincoln Asher - 11 Months

I just can't say enough how sweet this baby is! However, he sure does give us a run for our money sometimes. He is into EVERYTHING these days. Our stacked stone fireplace = his favorite spot to mess around (inside the fireplace!) by getting the rocks out. You should see the grin on his face when he gets a rock and knows he's not supposed to have it. He will hike his little leg up like he's going to try to crawl on it and when we tell him no he will grin and start shaking his head no. He is rotten to the core. Sometimes I don't think I can handle another one after him. He wears us OUT!! haha Weight: 22lbs He's a professional crawler now. I love hearing his little hands smacking across the floor. He loves to eat. He will eat and eat and eat with no end in sight. He'll tear everything off the table in a restaurant in order to get to the bread. :-D He loves rolls, biscuits, bananas, and Popsicles, in addition to his baby food and formula. He's not a fan of...
