bunch of randomness

I finally took a belly shot this afternoon before heading out to my friends daughter's birthday party. Almost 23 weeks here.

Definitely have a belly going on now. I'm now at that stage where it's not a massive 9mo belly, yet it's very noticeable and everyone in public wants to comment on it. I'm loving it since this is probably the last time I'll get all that pregnant mama attention! My friend's mom told me that she just knows I'm having one more, but I told her that unless we win the lottery and adopt, there will be no more little S babies. 27mo of my life will have been spent being pregnant after Declan is born. I think that's plenty..haha!


E started T-Ball last week. If you want to laugh until you pee, go watch 11 5yr old girls run bases for the first time. I don't think I've laughed that hard in a while. Not AT them, it was just the cutest thing ever and you can't help but to laugh when you watch them. Unfortunately her coach called yesterday and it seems practices won't officially start for another few weeks. I think I'm more bummed than E is. I can't wait to go to her little games! I didn't think to bring my camera, but DH pulled his phone out and snapped one quick pic of her.

She's the one in pink heading toward 1st. I love the newborn and toddler stage, but there is something so FUN about having an almost kindergartner. All the activities, seeing them make (hopefully) life-long friends and get a life that's separate from my own is both wonderful and bittersweet. I'm going to be crying some large, ugly tears come August when she starts school.


My sweet Connor boy makes me smile like no other. He will randomly come up to me and say "Oh, Mama" and give me the biggest hug and kiss. He still co-sleeps which I don't mind at all. I do sometimes worry what our sleeping arrangements will be when Declan gets here, but I'm sure it will all work out. I plan on just camping out in the living room for the first few months anyway, that way all the feedings/changings/crying spells won't wake anyone else up.


C is just SO COOL. Like, I can totally picture him at 16 and he's going to blow me away with his awesome personality.
