Hello Little Piggies

These little piggies have been trying to stay busy.

This little pig made chili for ward party

This little pig went to the temple

This little pig washed the carseat, bassinet, baby bouncer, and got hubby to set up crib

This little pig served left-over chili (see above) at neighborhood block party and inhaled Texas caviar.

This little pig made bread

This little pig made 2 lasagnas--one for us, one for friend going through chemo

This little pig organized laundry room

This little pig made fun shirt (see previous post)

This little pig helped out at class party

And now,

these little piggies want to go wee-wee-wee to the hospital.

Will keep you posted

If you can't beat 'em...

Might as well dress up for Halloween.

Ava is a geisha, Layla is Tinkerbell, and Mia is a witch. I made my cool shirt. Gotta love wonder-under and Google. (My hat is not part of my costume..)

Our baby's first sight

So, when our little baby decides to join us, this is most likely the first face he will see.









Doesn't he bear a striking resemblance to this guy?

That is where the similarities end.


I could use Will Ferrell's humor through this though.


He also delivered Layla and she seems okay :)

False Alarm!

So I titled my last post, "Unexpected Loss" and I freaked out my friend. I am still here, pregnant and uncomfortable! Just to clarify, due date is November 16th and yes, I will get bigger. Baby Milo is so low and uses my bladder as a pillow or a punching bag.

Considering Layla came 11 days early, can I hope for November 5th? That would be about 3 1/2 weeks!

It's like pulling teeth...

Mia lost her first tooth!  Now, normally, we don't get too excited about this normally-occurring event but Mia just turned 6.  Ava didn't lose her first tooth until she was almost 7 1/2!  The other reason this is noteworthy is that Mia can be a little dramatic when it comes to pain, blood, discomfort, etc.  We dreaded this event.

I was taking her to lunch on her birthday 2 weeks ago when she screamed out, "My mouth hurts, my mouth hurts!  It feels like my teeth are falling out!"  My heart raced a little and I quizzed her on whether she had hit her mouth during recess.  When I was able to inspect, I laughed as I told her, "Mia, you have a wiggler!  That is completely normal!"

Mark and I told her she would have to pull it out when she was ready.  A few nights ago, she ran into our bedroom at 4 am laughing and showed us her tooth.  It had come out in her sleep and was just sitting in her mouth.  No drama, no tears!!!
