Random thoughts...

Laying in bed last night, Chris and I watched a commercial that sums up our life with baby. It says something like "when you have a baby, your life changes." I probably didn't get close to what it actually says, but that is the synopsis. Anyway, we are slowly realizing this will be the case.
I came to work today and immediately, two colleagues commented on my hair. I, for one, have not been pleased by my hair, so maybe it was a polite comment truly meaning the opposite. Not sure. My response was, "oh, thanks," while in my head I was thinking, is it the lack of a haircut, which results in the lack of a style or is it the dark shade that my hair has acquired since becoming pregnant (also contributing is the fact that whatever highlights I had in my hair are long gone)?
I have developed a belly-somewhat all of a sudden. I will have to post pictures.
I am experiencing back pain. Probably due to the fact that my already large boobs have become larger and my back can't handle the added weight! Not sure how this will play out over the course of the next 5 months.
I am crying at "A Baby Story." When planning our wedding, I often watched "A Wedding Story," which is before "A Baby Story." I used to think who could get emotional at this stuff. Now I know--pregnant people!!
Chris and I both are becoming more aware of babies. It seems everywhere we go there are a ton of babies and pregnant ladies. Neither of us took note of this before, but it obvious now. Strange.
We are both overwhelmed at the amount of "projects" we must complete before our child arrives. These do not include actual baby preparations. Here is our list:
1. sand the trim (upstairs hallway, master bedroom)
2. paint the trim (foyer, hallway, master bedroom)
3. tear down the attic
4. install a closet organizer (master bedroom)
5. paint the nursery
6. rip out & replace the tile in the bathroom
7. various decorating projects throughout the house
These items are what come to my mind, but I swear I have dementia already....

A post

You wanted it, you asked for it, so here it is. A post. Hopefully this post will satisfy all your desires. I am not writing about the apple of my eye, Claire, but of the other apple of my eye--reality tv. I love it! Right now I am getting my fill of Big Brother. I have even lured Chris into my dark place. He mostly watched last season because Dick was such a jerk, but Chris is hooked. He's a dedicated viewer once again this season. Sadly, he was a fan of Matty who was kicked off a few weeks ago. I don't think I have a favorite. I find them all to be so obnoxious, yet I watch. Go figure. I obviously need some more excitement in my life. Girls who wear butt showing shorts, screaming matches, verbal abuse, crazy eyes, back stabbing, boys running around in their colored tighty whiteys (if tighty whiteys are colored, are they still called tighty whiteys?)---all in one episode! It is a gold mine. My second can't miss show is Housewives of Orange County or New York City. I really

2 weeks...

As I write this, my house is being cleaned and not by me. This is my favorite day of the week. There is nothing like going home to a clean house and smelling the bleach to know it is germ free as well. This is my second good day in a row! I took the day off yesterday. Claire didn't have school due to Fasching (German equivalent of Halloween--minus the door to door trick or treating), so I gave Mya the option of hanging out with us as well. She took some convincing, but later said she had a great day. I must admit that I was focused on giving my back a much needed break, so my morning consisted of napping and laying on the couch. Not my best parenting in action, but it did wonders for the rest of the day. We met Chris for lunch, then returned home to enjoy the sunshine before the girls' swimming lessons. It was in the 50's yesterday, absolutely gorgeous! It really is hard to believe that we made it through the entire winter with no snow. I think it snowed possibly 2 days, b

Claire, Mya and the NEWS

Chris and I had this elaborate plan on how we were going to share the news with our girls. I ordered adorable shirts, which took forever to get here. They were supposed to ship Oct. 4, but didn't. I am not a patient soul at all. I love to share good news and spread the excitement. We went to a German doctor last week for a gender reveal ultrasound. He was 99% certain of his selection. Claire and I began looking at clothes online. She asked questions about why we were looking at baby clothing, but thankfully, my sister has a little guy and a baby girl who is due in December. They are my perfect excuses for all things baby! Claire asked nothing more and began pointing out things we should buy Jackson or the new baby girl. Our weekends typically involve partaking in a local event or just relaxing, which means a trip to the KMCC Mall. Saturday we went shopping or at least looking. Once again, the girls became excited, choosing items for Jackson or the new baby girl. I decided I cou
