Portland

Paul had to be in Portland for work last week so we decided to go with him. We had both been several times before for work but had never really seen much of the area other than an office or a conference room. We had a really good time. Portland is a little too "granola" for P and I but we made the best of it and enjoyed our time together as a family of 3. This was probably our last trip as a family before the little guy comes. We saw beautiful waterfalls in the Columbia River Gorge, took Adrienne to a great children's museum and ate and ate and ate. Here are some pics from the trip.

Can you say "Gluttony?"

This post is probably inspired by my dear SIL Amy, but this is how I feel lately. I realize that its definition is related to food but man I have been eating and shopping galore. The shopping has been pretty practical and it is for baby boy so I do not feel so guilty about it but the eating has been out of control. I said early in my pregnancy "I will eat plenty but I do not plan to eat my heart out like I did when I was pregnant with Adrienne." Oh well, I have eaten that and more! I need to join a version of Weight Watchers for pregnant chicks. Oh well, I will see my WW buddies soon enough after this one is born.
I pretty much have all of his room ready to go except for putting it together. Still need to paint, but after that is done, I will set everything up and take some pics for ya'll. Better yet, come by and visit us and you can see it for yourself. I love putting the room together, it is so much fun. For those of you that have seen my house, the room he is going into has these hideous faux finish blue walls. I have hated them since the day we moved in. They will be gone soon.
I'll post some before and after pics soon.

These are better

After posting the last blog entry, I realized that I did not put the best pics up. Here are the better versions without having to re-do the last one all together!

Cousins, Snow, Fairytale Town Oh My!

We had an invasion of the cousins last week. First, Paul's oldest sister Tricia came into town from Alabama with her kids Jack and Kate. We went up to Tahoe and spent a few nights in a great cabin. There was a ton of snow and the kids had so much fun. Adrienne is still a bit unsure of the snow (big shocker) but I think she will come around in a year or two.

Then, our nieces Lauren and Amelia spent a few days with us. We did all sorts of things like arts and crafts (hence the headbands in the pictures), John's Incredible Pizza and Fairytale Town. It was a great weekend and we all had so much fun with these crazy girls.

Love spending time with the fam, wish we could see everyone more often. Now, Paul and I will sleep for the next week!

YIPEEE!!!!!

Oh the baby boom just keeps getting bigger. I recently found out that a good friend is having her first baby and then last night I find out my cousin is having her first this year too. 2011 Baby Boom. I love it. Congratulations to all of my Mommy friends out there having babies this year.



I love this picture. Both Adrienne and I are so wiped out. I am thinking "Wow is this my baby?" So happy. Can't wait to meet my little guy in July!

It's a Boy!!!!

Well we had our 20 week ultrasound today and we found out it is a boy. Right now we are scheduled for a July 15th delivery. Paul and I are very excited but Adrienne seems a bit unsure ;-)

It was bound to happen sooner or later

Well, I have heard about it. Dreaded it for about a year and a half now. It happened tonight..............................Adrienne pooped in the tub. Man was it a pain in the butt (for me that is.) I called for reinforcements (Paul) and we were able to handle the matter. I really hope that is the last time. One can hope can't she?
