Nothin' but vids...

Like I promised yesterday...(if you can't see vids, it's because you're in facebook...gotta go to www.momwithoutaclue.blogspot.com)

This was taken during those huge storms that hit the Pittsburgh area several weeks ago. She was scared at first but then got into it.

The sea lions are one of her favorite things at the zoo (FYI, they have a baby one now, too).

Don't know why exactly, but throwing rocks into water gets her really excited!

This is her Aunt Goo (pianist/violist for the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra).

This is during our 3-hour car ride back from NY. She was supposed to sleep. She decided to stay up and say "va-va?" (that's her version of "mom" for those of you not in the know) the entire time instead. And yes, my eyes are on the road...this was taken completely blind, over the shoulders :)

Nothin' but pics...

I had a good day. Wait...let me clarify...baby had a good day today; THEREFORE, mom had a good day :) She was cheerful and fun, without a single tantrum for most of the entire day, only breaking down around dinner/bedtime. I know I complain a lot about her, um, challenging mood sometimes, so I thought I'd dedicate today's blog to recent pics of my happy baby. Next time, it'll be nothing but vids!

This one reminds me of Wilson.

Getting ready for our Father's Day bike ride. It's crazy to think that some day she'll be as tall as he is :)

Enjoying Reese's on our Father's Day picnic.

Making her special face at the play ground.

Throwing rocks into Chautauqua Lake.

Swinging at the Dome.

She could have thrown rocks into the lake all day!

At a Lake Erie beach with Dad, once again throwing rocks.

Holy crap, there's mom!

Wrapping the grandmothers around her finger.

Telling Aunt Goo to put the piano to bed.

Buttering dad up for a car of her own.

Playing dress-up in genuine Indian clothes purchased by one of Chris' Indian co-workers.

How to get pregnant in lightening quick time...

I've figured it out.

About 2-4 weeks before wanting to conceive,

1. Buy a van.

2. Buy the jumbo box of tampons from Costco.

Voila.




(anyone need any tampons?)

Preggers again!

So the baby and I went on vacation this past week without the hubby. While there, I took a pregnancy test (rather, I took THREE pregnancy tests) and discovered three little blue plus signs looking back at me. This was on Tuesday...I had to keep it secret from Chris until he came up to NY Friday night. So hard! A lot of my mom's family was up there, so they all knew...Chris was pretty much the last to find out :) Shortly after arriving in NY, I had Raina give him a present...a present that I told him was a late Father's Day gift. This is what it looked like:



This is what he saw when he opened it:


And of course I got it all on tape :)

Two weeks, people. That's all it took. Six weeks for Raina, two weeks for #2. Like my Mom-in-Law said, either Chris has super sperm or I'm fertile Myrtle. I think it's both!

I'll be back soon with more from my vacation. I just wanted to officially get the Big News out there :)
