I've seriously got to be the worst blogger ever.
Hunter will be 2 on February 9th and then about a week after that we'll be having Baby #2 via c-section. I guess I should've updated at least the announcement of Baby #2's pregnancy quite a while back, huh??
Luckily we're having another boy. And I say "luckily" because we have upgraded from our huge 1 bedroom RV of 380 sqft to a huge 2 bedroom barn apartment of 700 sqft. So both boys can share a room for a long time. Long time being- no more than 2 years max, because if we can, we'd like to space the next baby two years after this upcoming one. And I firmly informed My Love that I do not want to have another baby while living in this little apartment. It's going to be hard enough trying to keep two small children quiet while dada works weird shifts.
Recently I've been obsessed- yes obsessed- with searching for baby items online. Things such as carseat adaptors and parent "consoles" for double strollers, custom infant car seat covers, Peanut Shell baby slings in certain designs in XL (which, btw, are hard to find...), Amy Butler fabric products on Etsy, etc.
I've been trying to eat more healthfully (I think that's the proper word to use here)-- actually it isn't really trying. It's more like I simply daydream about healthy salads during the night... weird. So it's been rather easy, then, to eat well during the day. I'm hoping this health kick lasts after the baby is born.
Hmmm this has been a rather weird post after having not posted for so long. I think my next post shall be of some pics of the pretties that I've received recently.
Toodles!

Search for a Recipe
Wow, it's been a little too long. So four months might not be a long time for some, but when it involves a little evolving life, it sure seems long! It's amazing how much Hunter has grown. He's such a chub chub. He's 4.5 months now and is mainly wearing 9 month clothing. I put a 3-6 month outfit on him the other day and his shirt wouldn't cover his poor little belly. I call him my Gus Gus :).
4 month checkup:
17 lbs 6 oz
26.25" long
The current chubster (and it's amazing how different he looks in each of these photos!-- he's got gorgeous blue eyes and we're not really sure about his hair color yet...):

Soooo, after following Slice of Pink's participation in the Whip It Up Challenge, I decided to try my hand at it!
This week's challenge is "A Holiday Food."
I've decided to peruse one of my British cookbooks. I think I might be obsessed with all things British. I have no idea why, so don't ask.

Behind a day...
1. Thoughts of scheduled c-sections
2. Life cereal
3. Hot Pink and Orange and Yellow to-do lists
4. Having a washer that works-- despite all the racket it makes because it's not leveled
5. Someone special putting lavender lotion on my forehead to help me get back to sleep.
