Our little Thickburger

Is 13 pounds at 2 months old--that's a 1.5 pounds heavier than her sister at the same age. She sure is a cutie patootie. I guess now we have a padunkadunk and a padinkadink :)

Over the river and through the woods

To grandmothers house we go!! Our first road trip since Isley was born and we're going to Asheville for Thanksgiving-yay!! We will try to fit all but the kitchen sink in the Element, plus Bear--it will probably be a National Lampoon's event, but it will be fun nonetheless :)

Election Day

How scary is that!?!?

Go McCain/Palin!!

It's been a while

And have I been busy trying to keep my littlest alive. Lily loves her little so much, she just wants to squeeze her to death--I guess gentleness will come in time??? :)

Life with 2 babes is awesome. Isley is so sweet--she smiles all the time and Lily is such a great, helpful big sister. It's been a little hectic, but we're starting to get in the swing of things. Let's try for a third........ha, ha, ha--yea, right!!!

Ok let's go!

Tomorrow is our due date. I thought 2nd babies came quicker than 1st babies?!?! Lily was born on her due date-went into labor the day before. Isley is due tomorrow and I feel great, so I don't think labor is approaching anytime soon.
Oh well--at least this gives Lily more time being the only child, huh? :)

Top 10 part 8

Things that pregnant women get tired of hearing or that you shouldn't say to a pregnant women-in no particular order-

10) You're not as big as the last time--yea, this doesn't make me feel any better.
9) You shouldn't be so grumpy (or anything to this affect)--you can tell me that when you're not leaking from every place you could think of and can breathe ok and get around independantly.
8) You sure you're not having twins or you sure aren't that big--either way makes us think something is wrong with us.
7) Calm down, it's just your hormones--no, you pissed me off and I can express that just like you can-pregnancy has nothing to do with it.
6) You must be hot being pregnant in the summertime--this just gets old. It's hot-everyone is hot in the summertime-being pregnant just elevates your temperature a little.
5) Any response other than Congratulations when we tell people we are pregnant is not needed.
4) Are you sad your first won't remember being the only child?-why would I want to think about that first of all, and secondly, the second child will never know either, so what's the difference??
3) Are you sure you don't want to try for a boy?--when I say we're done after this one, I'm not trying to get a response out of you.
2) Are you going to breastfeed?--is that any of a strangers business?
1) If you're a creepy old man, please don't rub my belly. Thanks :)

The final stages of pregnancy

We are due in 18 days and I could not be more ready. I miss being able to see my feet; I miss getting up and down independantly; I miss not sweating from just walking across the room; I miss breathing normal; I miss sexy time with my wonderful husband; I miss being able to shave independantly; I miss not leaking from everywhere you could imagine; I miss my clothes; I miss walking normal; I miss running around with my toddler; I miss regular panties; I miss brushing my teeth and my gums not bleeding; I miss painting my toenails; I miss Starbucks :)
