I'm so wishing I didn't already max out my Christmas budget... Benson would absolutely love a little mouse baby in a matchbox.

This is how I feel when I think of how long we must wade through this ugly cold weather. It's the brown. I think it's amplified here in the winter. I don't want a white christmas this year. Can't we just skip straight to Spring?

Ps. Is this not the saddest photo you've ever seen? It makes me want to run right upstairs and snuggle this little boy while he sleeps.

babies of another sort

So it has pretty much been non-stop baby making around this house the past few days.


What?

Oh, that. 5 months late people.

I mean of this sort:


This may look like an ordinary box, but it holds life. Life!



Benson has fruit snack babies! He even made little pjs for them, as well as pillows and blankets. 90% of them are girls and all of the girls have names: Clementine, Olive, Catisha, CatRisha, and Adelaide. All the rest are unnamed boys. Poor things. Note that they are mostly of the pineapple variety, as these ones have "hair."


They even have a toy box with toys. (I did help with the toy box a bit). And as of this morning they have bunk beds!


The proud daddy.


It is so hilarious to see Benson's imagination begin to take shape.

sunday

Here's hoping your Sunday is looking as good as ours.

Now that the shock has worn off, we are getting really excited to have another boy. I'm especially excited after seeing these images on heather ross' blog. If these make it to fabric, I've got the new baby's quilt already figured out. Now for a name... (now taking suggestions).

the big news

What a cute little bummy shot...

baby.....









BOY!

So if you are as surprised as we are raise your hand. We actually had a secret ultrasound about a month ago (at 17 weeks) and were told he looked an awful lot like a girl. But apparently it only took a few short weeks for our girl to sprout a very obvious boy part, because there was definitely no doubt. And this is the exact reason we didn't tell people... just in case. So there you go. Hat trick people, you win.

On the menu for tonight: homemade donuts and freshly squeezed lemonade.

No, I'm not pregnant.

Why do you ask?
