The things we do

to feel better. Ridiculous. I didn't want to go two days without a post, so this is what you get because it's all I can think about. So since the only advice the Dr could give me was to continue taking some OTC medications to feel better, this is what I've stocked up on. It's kind of amusing how different doctors will advise for/against which medications during pregnancy. I thought Sudafed was a nono, and I never would have thought I could take Benadryl.... But I've been given today and tomorrow will consist of. Fun stuff.

No photo today, sorry.

I'm sick. But not giving up. I've posted at least 2 pics most days so far though, so I should still be easily able to get my 365 photos done!

Little Piggies

Just goofing around with today's pic... I think it turned out cute. Andy had fun helping me. His feet were probably half that size when I took our first "big feet, little feet" pic. *Sigh* He's such a big boy now. And with this post I have beat my last year's 365 effort. Kinda sad, but oh well! Yay me!

A Dog and His Boy

It's no mystery that my family is full of dog lovers. Andy is no different. Actually he really loves all animals, like his mommy. So since it's pretty cold outside lately we've had the dogs in the house quite a bit. Andy loves this because he can play with them all he wants. Buddy mostly just wants to lay around and be fat and lazy but Skynard really loves playing with Andy. They are like BFFs. Except when Skynard won't give Andy the ball, then he isn't too happy about it. But anyway, Skynard loves Andy and Andy loves Skynard.

I see babywearing in my future.

Yay! I bought a Moby pretty prematurely, within a few weeks of finding out I was pregnant. I was just so excited with the prospect of babywearing with my second child. I tried one of the basic slings with Andy but since I am petite it didn't really work (probably just bought the wrong size, or was it a one size thing? I can't remember). We also had one of those around the shoulder strap carriers that you can buy at most stores, and used it a few times. But we never *really* got into the babywearing with him. That's why I knew I NEEDED a Moby this time and bought one asap!


This first image to the right is the Lotus Hold. See how the teddy bear looks very content? Yes. If she were facing me it would be called the Hug Hold. The Hug Hold is used very often with newborns. But more often that that, the cradle hold is used. Which is the image to the left. Can't you just imagine a happy little newborn in there while mommy is able to retain full use of her hands? Nice. Yes, I am prepared! I am so excited to put this Moby to use! I got the wrap on my first try, I am going to be awesome! :) I apologize for the poor quality of these pictures, but my camera battery died. I think I left the camera turned on all night. Oops.

Snow, snow, snow, snow, snow....

Well it was supposed to snow all day today but it didn't really. It will probably start up again tonight and is supposed to snow through the night. Luckily when I got off work at 4 pm, the sun was shining through the clouds enough that the sky looked really beautiful while some soft snow continued to fall. I was able to get this shot of some snowflakes sitting on the top of our garbage barrel. Snowflakes really are beautiful little things. And of course I had to take Andy out for a little bit. Not too long though, it's cold out there!!!

My Favorite People

I don't think they need any introduction. My ever-so-willing subject, Andy, and my not-so-willing husband. Aren't they cute. Oh, and just for good measure: Andy's first salute captured on film.
