He's really in there!

Ed wanted to title this blog: "The fog is getting thicker and Edward is getting larger!" But I told him that no one would understand what that reference is from...if you do understand, please let me know, I'll be impressed. So Friday we had a bit of a scare, everything is FINE, thank God. But we had to have another ultrasound and we got a great picture of baby E! It's just his head/face and you can see his left hand. I think he looks adorable, smart, witty, and overall perfect! :) I am 26 weeks today, less than 100 days to go! He is moving around like crazy and Ed loves to keep his hand on my belly and oooo and aaaa everytime he shuffles around in there. I love that when Ed comes home from work I get a hug, kiss and a "Hello Mama!" and then baby Edward gets a hug, kiss and an even bigger "Hello, it's your Daddy!" Melts my heart. I have to say that I am LOVING being pregnant (I would love it more if I could have wine, caffeine & sushi) but it's really amazing and I just feel so important carry around this little LIFE that is my son...wow.

"Learn to Love Ironing"

There are two chores that I absolutely can not stand doing: ironing & emptying the dish washer. I'm not sure why this is, but I can't bring myself to to them. Since becoming pregnant and feeling the need to nest and be productive at all times, I've started keeping a very extensive "to-do" list. For some reason if something is on my list, even if it's a chore I can not stand to do, I find complete satisfaction in doing it and crossing it off, ahhhh what a feeling! So today I thought I would put this to a true test and I put "Learn to Love Ironing" on my list. I glanced at my list all day long and there it was just staring at me waiting to be crossed off. So, alas, I went down into the basement, turned on the iron (which took me about 10 minutes to figure out how to do and yes it was a simple as plugging it in) and started to iron. I ironed the new baby bathroom shower curtain, it is too cute for words and I ironed the adorable woodland creature window valance for the nursery. It felt AMAZING, I was so very proud of myself! I marched right back upstairs picked up my pen and crossed that sucker off, but before I did I made one quick little change..."Learn to Love Ironing, Once."
