since i'm convinced you've grown. here is another update on your progress these were taken a couple weeks ago. . people seem to comment more on my rack   than your bumpage. due to the distraction i have cropped out my rackage. (not to mention i am not really into posting my bra shots on here) not sucking in. sucking in. yes. i don't care people say i'm small - i know you have grown. and yes, i am wearing sweet, nude colored leggings. say what you must. 

another set of  things i like . the swab jar . sounds sorta nasty, BUT i love this thing. i was so excited to register for this guy. thank you matt lenz & family for making this one of your purchases.  you have no idea how happy it makes me that our swabs have a tidy home of their own. yes. red, velour jump suits . or any velour jump suits. i used to have quite the collection in college. they weren't cool then either, but i'm sorry, J Lo was on to something as they are so cozy. i also like red wine. orchids . whether or not i can keep them alive is debatable. but i like them. a lot. an oldie, but a goodie. my tv in my nyc studio. not a lot of space. i didn't watch much tv bc i didn't care to. this little guy was blk and wht and $1.00 at a garage sale.  it sounded with some static, but when i had to watch election coverage it did the trick. i'm saddened at the fact that i didn't take it back home with me,  but lack of space was the name of that game

this may be one of the last. i have saved it for a while. i don't get to see my dear Paisley as much since i am at my full time gig well,  full time. i'm running around less, but i miss the kid. i hope you appreciate this Paisley Says post as i won't have as many to share. this one sure makes me laugh. 1. it was a rainy eve at bed time. I mean, we watched the thunder and lightening. the rain just poured. it was nice and dark so that probably makes better for a bed time atmosphere. Paisley was in bed and we were just finishing up a touch of a dvd except (part of the bed routine) i hear a loud, amazingly long and wonderful fart come from Paise. I smile, look at her and say  "Hmmmmm, now what was that?" just to see her response. She replies with a mischievous look on her face: "I dunno. Maybe Thunder?!" God bless this story. I tried not to laugh and just went with it b/c I valued her creativity. I reply with a smile: "Hmmm maybe. It was storming&qu

i guess some people would think it's weird to refer to their child as an alien but - i find it lovingly appropriate. little alien, you had your first (and hopefully only) ultrasound a couple days ago. you look great! in the sense that aliens look great. but, seriously all is good with you growth wise. our tech said you have a nice spine and are 8 inches long. so, uh, a little on the above average side in length which surprised me. never thought i *might* have a tall child. (i guess i am really discounting daddy's genes). i guess you are looking at me saying "wtf, leave me alone in here" to be honest you just look like a skull to me and  i'd be lying if i said i thought this picture was cute. mama doesn't lie. 146 bpm heartbeat. still a girl, but i still think you are a boy. you are  8 ounces  which is pretty average and you look like a little alien. just what i expected. you are squirmy lil thing. which heck, i don't blame you. if i had heat and s

up downs + up dates. coming off a high of doula training workshop .  (SEE POST COMING... someday...SORRY FOR THE TARDINESS) and then finding a bit of loss. ups and downs. i hold my bellie a little tighter. hearing of miscarriage is never easy no matter how far along and to those you consider the untouchables. a friend of mine said,  "it's one of those things that no one seems to think okay to bring up." i was happy to have a doctor appointment the day after hearing of such news. a little update on you, little one. this week (well, last week, im late)  you have a roughly  140  heartbeat bowen said "you look great" when he walked in the door,  which makes me feel good of course. he is so very thorough even when i don't have  anything to be concerned about. you are all on target. i have gained more than the "normal," (according to babycenter, not bowen) but i don't feel huge or too big and to some degree could still hide being pregnant  by what

dear daddy, thanks for taking such good care of moma. i know she complains sometimes  and requires more back rubs so thank you for your patience. (but all and all, daddy,  she really doesn't complain too much, right?!) i am sorry she goes to bed so much earlier now. i need to grow so you can hold me in a few short months! i am also easing you into the lovely life of less sleep.  i promise i'll try not to be too hard on you and moma. i am so excited to meet you dad and have you hold me, and rock me and tell me cheesy dad jokes with uncle bry  and ride around in mini vans. you've already  taken to making sure i get the best care i need  while growing in mom so i know you are going to be the bestest daddy ever! see you in november (on my terms) . love, little miss or mister (or llama?) photo credit loft3pd egg, i can't wait to see you with our child. i can't wait to see the look on your face when you two meet.  i have every confidence in your caring for the litt

It's time to say H.f.D to the main men in my life. dad with hair. dad and mom pre-kids. doesn't he look like he should be a member of the Beatles? dad's a drummer and always wanted to be a "rockstar" i think he looks like one here, and honestly he is a rockstar, a rockstar dad. vince. my dad. with little peanut. the "Gold Stars" soccer team. dad picked up and coached both my sister and i without knowing much about the sport. BUT he made sure everyone had a good time and felt good about the sport. senior year of h.s. father/daughter dance. dad @ my side, me with the mic. photo credit loft3pd dad @ my side, dad with the mic. the thing is i don't know how to give my dad enough adjectives. he is the kindest, most generous, caring man. he adores his daughters, granddaughter and wife. he takes on taking care of everyone. you call. he answers. you don't call. he answers.  he lives and loves passionately and whole-heartedly. he enj
