hotdog or hamburger?

Look to the corner right...

1st pics of Beebo

Leah called my tummy Beebo once so now we call the baby Beebo...

We still do not know the gender so I guess it will be a suprise, but Hallie said Beebo is a girl because she is cute!

Looking at his/her thumb

All scrunched up..no, there is no hole in his/her head

I said it must be a girl because it has a brain....hahaha

Cute little hand...

Only 14 more weeks until my due date....eeeeek!

Mea Cupla...

I've been horrible at updating the blog...I'm just lazy to be honest, but I am sure most of you know that hahaha...

I'm 25 weeks pregnant this week, and will soon be down in the double digits..I'll be happy to no longer be pregnant and it is beginning to take its toll on my body, I would not advise being pregnant for 2 years...ugh! The problem with just giving birth a year ago, is that all the pain and blood from labor is still fresh in my mind, I had 7 years to banish the horror from my first birth...
Hallie was a difficult labor, hours of pushing and ended up in the OR with forceps, recovery was minimal...Leah was an easy labor, 10-15 mins of pushing but she ripped me a new asshole (literally) and dealing with a 3rd degree tear is no picnic..I was not able to sit properly for 6 weeks..bad memories...

So please send me good labor vibes this time...



I've got a few more of Leah's birthday pics to share...she is just so darn cute I can't resist



Love this pic...daddy's girl..











Finally got Hallie in the pool this week...it was 5 years in the making



I would have gotten video, but I have been so clumsy I am certain the video camera would have landed in the water, then I would have had to drown myself before Doug found out


Hallie made an addition to our flowerbed by our front walkway...I'm sure the male guests will appreciate her

Another sweet face...

Little whale spout on the top of her head..her hair is finally growing..

yes, that is a microwave meal she is eating....I'm a horrible mother..

Doug and I are going to the states this weekend for some shopping, I will be leaving Leah for the 1st time, well for more than one day/night..I'm still breastfeeding, but I think that she is getting close to weaning, she now only wants to nurse through the night...I'm not ready to give up nursing, it is special time between me and Leah, I'm hoping that if I keep on nursing it will not be painful when I nurse the next one, those 1st few weeks are brutal on the boobies...

I have finally decided that if this baby is a boy, he will be named after an English King..which one will it be...

Henry/Harry

Edward

James

William

I just need to convince Doug, and that might be harder than giving birth..

Finally.....

We have a new video camera and it takes forever to upload the videos onto blogger..so it was impossible for me to get a few hours at once to organize them, so I did a little bit over the week and now they are finally done....the videos are in little seperate clips, there may be a way to make them all one long video but I have no fucking clue how to do that, I am lucky I got them converted and uploaded, so take what you can get...



Okay....big news!





My baby girl turned one!



I did not want to have a huge party, as it would have been too much work for me and when it becomes "work" I do not enjoy myself..so we kept it simple, invited some family and had hamburgers and hotdogs..etc..


The weather was so so, it was not sunny but it did not rain so I have to be happy with that...maybe next year it will be nicer.





Leah started her morning with her usual timmy tim bits breakfast...*joke* It was her bday so I indulged her...alot..











Leah making her grand entrance to her party.....






Leah playing with her guests....













Her cake.....and Hallie...











Banner Jenn made....
















Time to sing happy birthday....










More cake fun....
