August 8, 2009 Date night and Preggers Brain!

Date night and mommy's pregger brain...

We had a double date tonight with the DeJarnettes and our neighbors, the Whiteheads, baby sat Julia who got to play with their 2 1/2 yr old daughter Caroline.

Pregger brain - when Meme was all dressed up in a nice dress, hair and make up on...she puts on her Crocs! I was in such shock as her first foot went into one Croc and I said "You're NOT wearing those shoes!" OMG...so the hip silver sandals were worn on her newly self pedicured feet.

Mommy brain - when we got to the restaurant, told the hostess we had a reservation for 4 and as we were walking to our table...Meme almost asked for a highchair - so not accustomed to not having our darling daughter with her every second of every day ;0}

August 6, 2009 Peanut to a Ruler!

When I told Meme that the baby is approx. 10.5" long from head to heel - her reply was "What? OMG - how did it go from a peanut to a ruler so fast? No wonder I feel her moving and turning around!" Ah - pregnancy and the wonders of parenthood!

August 4, 2009 Officially Baby Rosie!


It's official, Julia is totally using the name Rosie for the baby - "Baby Rosie" is how she refers to her sibling...now we just need her to accept the fact that the baby is a girl...although we know she knows that Rosie is a girl name...hmmmm.

August 3, 2009 Future Roomies...

Tonight at bedtime we were reminding Julia that the baby will require a lot of mommy and daddy's attention and that mommy will be nursing and the baby will be in the same room with mommy until the baby is bigger. Julia said "When baby Rosie is bigger I will sleep with her." Hmmm, I guess we can have them be roomies later on - it works for our friend's boys!

August 2, 2009 - Tuna/blueberry jam & gorgonzola cheese sandwich???

Today while daddy and Julia went to see The Wiggles concert at BOK Center, mommy stayed home to relax...and her Facebook update read "Feeling a bit off...was it the peanut butter sandwich, or the tuna/blueberry jam with gorgonzola cheese sandwich? hmmmm...lemme guess..."

July 31, 2009 Baby Rosie vs. Baby Brother

With the middle name of Rose, we discussed with Julia how she could call the baby "Rosie" like in one of her favorite cartoons - Caillou - who has a younger sibling named Rosie. She seemed to like that idea and started referring to the baby as Rosie, so we thought we turned the corner tonight when Julia said "I love my baby sister!" But the next day when we mentioned her baby sister she adamantly said "no, baby brother." Oh well...
