The Green Monster

This post is dedicated to the side of the family that love everything about Boston. Yes you know who you are...you will enjoy this post most of all!!! :)

This side of the family (Dan's side) has given many generous gifts to Saffryn and Pierce...including books about...you guessed it BOSTON. LOL!!! One of the books she most enjoys is about the Red Sox mascot Wally The Green Monster. It is kind of funny to me because she doesn't really understand very much about the book because it is all about baseball and Boston and Wally, but she really likes him.

So that was kind of the back story. Here is the real story. A couple of weeks ago we had our first sunny day. It was beautiful and we wanted to spend it outside. We really needed to get just a few groceries so Dan and the good idea of running to Walgreens which is just a few miles away (while I rode the bike next to them). So we talked about it a bit to Saffryn and we went on our way.

When we got home Saffryn was kind of dissapointed and kept asking about The Green Monster. "Are we going to The Green Monster mom???" I just sat there so confused...what are you talking about???

She kept talking about it and it finally occured to me that she was referring to our trip to WALgreens...which sounds an awful lot like WALLY (The Green Monster). LOL!!! I couldn't believe that she made that connection and remembered him. So she now refers to Walgreens as The Green Monster...maybe it will stick and that is what we will forever call that place!!!

I think she may end up being a Boston fan after all this indoctrination....hehe!!! :)

Boy or Girl

So I am now a little over 16 weeks! I am not very happy with this picture because the flowers camoflauge my growing tummy! Somehow this outfit just doesnt translate well into a photo...so I will have Dan take another one soon :)

So we are 2 weeks away from finding out if baby 3 is a boy or girl! You can help us vote...look on my sidebar and let us know what you think it is going to be!

I think its a girl. My skin is horrid (just like when I was pregnant with Saffryn), my cravings are sweet (just like with my pregnancy with Saffryn) and I seem to be gaining weight all over and not just my tummy (you guessed it just like with Saffryn). However to throw a wrench in that I have been SUPER emotional..which didn't happen with either pregnancy. And I have had a dream it was a boy...so who knows!!!

I am feeling pretty good...just really tired still. I think I have finally realized and have come to terms with the fact I will probably not get my energy back during my pregnancy. Chasing 2 kids around all day while being pregnant is pretty tiring :)

Like I said my skin is so bad...its more like a teenager going through puberty and not at all like a glowing mother to be...BOO!

I MAY be feeling movement these days...but it could just be gas. LOL. I am really bad and being able to tell the difference at this early stage. I know I should know, this is the 3rd go around. But when I feel the little tiny bubble I think, "Was that above or below my belly button?" and I just cant remember or tell. LOL. My gut is telling me some of those bubbles are baby moving...I hope I'm right :)

Well thas all for now. Please vote on a boy or girl and look forward to another pic soon :)

March Madness

For the last couple of years my dad has come out for the starting weekend of the March Madness basketball tournament. He came out again this year and we had a blast! We ate a lot, went bowling one night, played outside and of course watched basketball! Here are some pictures from his time out here!





Playing, singing and rocking out!



Grandpa brought bunny ears:)





Playing!



Saffryn's choice of clothing to go bowling! Hahaha

Pierce did not want to miss out!

Profound

I'm sure somewhere deep inside I have some awesome and profound mom/wife thoughts to inspire and encourage. But I think I will sum up my week with this photo and you will understand why no deep thoughts are pouring out! Hope you are having a better week!

Run For Your Life

One of Dan and I's favorite new shows is The Walking Dead. I would say it is a cross between 90210 and Zombie/Armageddon. It is so good! We have only finished season 1 so please no spoilers!!! Does it surprise you that I like Zombie stuff? LOL!!! I know it may seem out of character but they are just fun. Zombie things can either be super cheesy and hilarious or they can be creepy and intense and I love that. Dan and I love to watch and plan out our Zombie Armageddon plans :)

So a couple of weeks ago while reading through some magazines my friend always gives me (thanks friend...you know who you are!!!) I found the most awesome 5k race.....EVER!

So imagine running a 5k. Then add some intense obstacles. Sound fun? Well its not over yet....then add ZOMBIES chasing you!!!! I KNOW!!!! It is basically the most awesome thing I have ever seen. So you wear flags around your waist as you run this course all the while Zombies are chasing you and trying to grab your flags! If you finish with your flags you survive the Armageddon. If you get your flags taken you are now a zombie. SO FUN!!!!

Check it out HERE !!!

I am kind of disappointed because the only date that could even possibly work for us (remember I am having a baby sometime in September) would be in Austin in December. But after some serious talking and planning about it I just don't think it is going to work. For one reason I will still be nursing every couple of hours so that makes it kind of tricky. It would be a long drive and trip. We don't have any family or friends in Austin right now so who would watch our kids so we could go (I don't want my kids to witness it...may be a bit traumatic to see mom and dad being chased by creepy people). Also...I JUST HAD A BABY..ya might want a little more time to prepare physically.

So I am really really hoping they have some dates in 2013. That would give me a chance to get back into shape. Get my kids (especially baby 3) even more time to get into a schedule and maybe take a bottle. Also we may be able to choose a city closer with family near by who could help watch the kids for us.

So anyway...that was the 5k I was talking about. If you have ANY interest in joining us in 2013 let us know!!! We would love to have company in surviving the Apocalypse :)

Well look what I found out today!





I guess I have to stop blaming Saffryn for everything being out of the drawers! Haha:)




And he looks so sweet and innocent. That's how they getcha!!!,
