Not A Single Table

This table will be the death of me. What a stupid idea to think "oh let's paint a table" - how easy that rolls off the tongue. How many more brushes are we going to buy Mr Smith? How many more hours of sanding & staining & re-sanding & painting & sanding & glossing are we going to do? Did you really just tell me we're going to paint again!?!?! I resorted to coming back to my calm space. My blog. I left Mr Smith down in the basement with his newly organized lights & sander. I told him I was suffering from anxiety with his new hatched out plan. I could have easily pulled out the hatchet. So, no matter how many times Mr Smith says I will be doing this again I WILL NOT. NOT EVER. I AM NOT SAM I AM. or something to that effect. I don't do well with trial&error. I want it done. And I want it done today. I am that bratty. But look people; we haven't had a table for MONTHS.

PS - I just realized we don't own a single Dr Seuss book. Is that crazy?? But I'm not sure I could handle reading those over & over yet. You really can't have enough children's books because it still feels like you read this book 5 times today. And Lexi can't even demand that I read yet.

PPS - we made blackberry pancakes & they were delicious. happy Saturday.

TO DO: vacuum, finish table (joke), get flu shots, laundry, shower, go to the park

We're patiently waiting

Picture Mr Smith putting together the pack-n-play. He was so cute. Mostly when he had to read the directions. Do we have a child? Don't ask such silly questions. Hopefully it won't collect too much dust in 5.5 months. We're ready now . . . (but not really) It has a changing thing and a removable bassinet that vibrates. I'm okay with not needing a changing table. It will probably mean we won't get a crib for awhile too. Next we need to hear from our baby/exercise friends a good car seat & jogging stroller (maybe ones that work together)... Any favorites? Then a blanket . . . Then a breast pump . . . Then a diaper bag. . . Then lots of diapers, toys & cute clothes. And even a mobile. Then they get older and there's even more things. Mr Smith is just so thrilled. I'd love to hear about any products that you recommend/absolutely love having. Here is one thing you can do to annoy Mr Smith: go ...

Our Baby Story - Alexis

Alexis Jane Smith 04.27.13 - 5:16PM 8lbs 15oz - 22.5 inches brown hair, undetermined (blue) eyes NB clothes are too tight You hate diaper changes You love being swaddled You are a piranha for food Your skin is perfect You sleep better with noises You came out sucking on your fingers But luckily you're not a scratcher Basically, we think you're perfect. First day at home photo Dear Lexi, We couldn't handle holding you inside my stomach for another minute. We made an appointment when the contractions never came. Things were changing, but you were still 7 days late. Maybe we were eager parents, but now that we have you in our arms, we understand why, really understand. You're amazing . By the time we showed up at your 6 AM hospital appointment to be induced, I was already 3.5 cm dilated & 90% effaced & having mild contractions. So mild I thought I might have had high pain tolerance because I didn't feel th...

We Remember... All the Time We... Spent Together

My 1-1 days are shortly coming to an end with my oldest who decided to have more time with me and her youngest sibling this past year & I'll forever be grateful for that. I'm never ready for them to grow up and give most their time & attention to everyone else. Again, we are excited for another phase & this time she gets to be the big kid coming back with more rest & confidence to wrap up her middle school years going part-time for 8th grade. Will busy work burn out still be a concern? Will "learning" in a noisy & crude environment still be a concern? Will losing more of her childhood still be a concern? Yes, yes and yes. However, she knows how to choose good friends, she knows how to work hard, and she knows she enjoys structure & peer competition coming from outside the home. I don't know if she'll push herself to participate more in sports, or find new opportunities elsewhere, but that's the blessings of this life - there are al...
