Shady and baby: December 2013

http://babytheshady.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html

Monday, December 30, 2013. 2013 was like a bad boyfriend. Luckily though, a few things happened in 2013 that will make 2014 awesome. This will probably be a crazy, stressful year, but Brandon has a big boy job nailed down and I am pregnant so no matter how hectic things get, I will at least have a baby and a house by the end of the year. And that is going to be fabulous. I of course could never write an end-of-year post without setting some goals for the next year. 1 Be nicer to Brandon. Me, 10 minutes a...

Shady and baby: 26

http://babytheshady.blogspot.com/2014/11/26.html

Thursday, November 06, 2014. I'm at this weird age where teenagers think I'm old and everyone else thinks I'm a baby. It's true. A couple of days ago I was talking to some people about the movie Frozen (because Violet loves it so much) and I said, "I thought it was cute, but I think it's weird that there are people my age who are really obsessed with it." And then I realized that the people I was talking about are teenagers and I'm almost 10 years older than them. It's definitely not what I expected....

Shady and baby: January 2014

http://babytheshady.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html

Thursday, January 30, 2014. Violet has definitely bonded with this pregnancy. She asks daily how sister is doing, if she's kicking, and she fell asleep one night with her hand on my belly, trying to feel her move. She boldly told me, "I think she likes me more than you." I'm not sure about that, but it would be nice to have girls who are as close as she and Charlie are. She had even more questions after that. How does the cord get off? Do they throw the placenta away? Can she see in there? We have even g...

Shady and baby: Dear moms: shut up, no one is judging you.

http://babytheshady.blogspot.com/2015/02/dear-moms-shut-up-no-one-is-judging-you.html

Tuesday, February 24, 2015. Dear moms: shut up, no one is judging you. Alright. There have been a couple of things going around facebook for awhile that I think are stupid. This is nothing new, but, I thought I'd take a minute to whine about them anyways. The first one is a video from Similac that you can watch on this link. They are all judging each other. So instead of watching some heart-warming commercial that promotes stereotypes and then pretends to see past them, I think we should all just take a ...

Shady and baby: My relationship with exercise

http://babytheshady.blogspot.com/2014/11/my-relationship-with-exercise.html

Friday, November 21, 2014. My relationship with exercise. Do you know what my spirit animal is? It's actually Jennifer Lawrence. Especially with this quote. I hate working out. I am all for having a healthy lifestyle, and I will go on 10-mile hikes without batting an eyelash. But when it comes to standing in front of a TV, listening to fit people lecture me on my technique. And this one is a personal favorite:. I would never go to Brandon and say, "You know, I really appreciate that you have 3 kids and a...

Shady and baby: Siena's blessing

http://babytheshady.blogspot.com/2014/08/sienas-blessing.html

Thursday, August 21, 2014. This post is a little late, but I'm still using the excuse that I just had a baby, and you'd better believe I'll be using it for awhile. Siena June was blessed at our home a couple of weeks ago. We were lucky enough to have the Harpers there for the blessing as well as many of my family and friends. They had even basically renovated our house for us! A full house tour will be posted shortly, don't worry.) Here are some pictures! I love getting people mid-sentence. A dress a day.

Shady and baby: August 2014

http://babytheshady.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html

Thursday, August 28, 2014. I'm going to blatantly copy what Bexar did and post pictures to try to figure out who Siena looks like. Everyone says she looks like Charlie, but I think I see more of Violet in her. Nope, nevermind. She totally looks like Charlie. Thursday, August 21, 2014. A full house tour will be posted shortly, don't worry.) Here are some pictures! I love getting people mid-sentence. My house is the new cool place to hang out. I'm not sure who took this picture of the girls, but I love it!

Everyone says she looks like Charlie, but I think I see more of Violet in her. Nope, nevermind. She totally looks like Charlie. Yup its like you had him all over again! Hopefully shell be just as funny as him too! All Handleys on Deck! All I see is Brandon! Especially in the first picture of her! Yep No question. But the personality - that will be interesting!

Shady and baby: September 2014

http://babytheshady.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html

Saturday, September 20, 2014. Would you ever go up to someone while they are running a marathon and ask if they've planned their next marathon yet? While they are in the thick of it, running and panting, just ask when they're going to do their next one. And if they think they're going to do another one, why? Isn't three marathons enough? You can barely handle three! I might just punch them in the face. Of course I can barely handle things- that's what having a newborn does to you! I'm not saying I want 4...
