Gingham Skies: July 2012
http://ginghamskies.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
July 20, 2012. What a fabulously fabulous day we had yesterday! July 19th was the Bounce's GREAT REVEAL. Boy or girl? Yep, we had the same lovely enthusiastic baby loving technician for Bounce's big reveal that we did for our Rockstar! Bounce was tucked up in a ball making it awkward to take photos but we still managed to see all the important parts (well, all but the area that would tell us Girl or Boy). Mmmm tiny baby feet! After our appointment we went out for the earliest dinner ever! I'm a mom, wife...

Gingham Skies: May 2012
http://ginghamskies.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
May 24, 2012. It's official, we have hit the three month point so we are going public: WE ARE HAVING A BABY! Yes, it's true. I'm going to be a Mama and Mike will be Dada to not just one but two wild and crazy and fabulously wonderful monkeys. That makes the Rockstar a big brother! What a crazy thought. And all looks well according to the technician. During both ultrasounds the technician took extra long to complete their jobs because our baby was moving around non-stop! Links to this post.

Gingham Skies: 4 Months Already?!
http://ginghamskies.blogspot.com/2013/04/4-months-already.html
April 14, 2013. I thought time flew when the Rock Star was a baby but it is moving even faster now. I'm trying to enjoy every moment and not wish babyhood away but I catch myself hoping for the days of sleeping at night and longer naps which is in turn wishing time away. I'm now consciously slowing down and enjoying more snuggles and 'typical' moments so that hopefully I don't look back with regret,. A note to my littlest love: we are head over heels for you! I knew in my heart that I would love you to p...

Gingham Skies: April 2013
http://ginghamskies.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
April 29, 2013. Better than Starbucks Banana Bread. My kid is a sucker for Starbucks insanely priced banana bread. I think it is decent but a little too dense for my liking and with recent dietary changes (more on that later) we have had to avoid it due to the buttermilk. Thanks to The Cordial Churchman. For sharing the recipe. He found on a card at Starbucks. Here is the run down with the substitutions I've made. Enjoy! 1 teaspoon baking soda. 1 1/8 cups sugar. 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract. I thought ti...

Gingham Skies: D-Day Has Arrived
http://ginghamskies.blogspot.com/2012/12/d-day-has-arrived.html
December 5, 2012. Big Brother cuddles Bounce at 39 weeks preggers. Will Bounce be one of the 5% to arrive on his due date? Today is the official due date but so far nothing. I'm crossing my fingers he comes soon, I'm itching to meet him and so are Daddy and big bro the Rockstar. This morning our Rockstar asked when his "brudah" is "comin' out" and I assured him it wouldn't be too long from now but a week feels like a lifetime when you're two.

May 10, 2013. Drooling on my keyboard. Wow I'm not sure if I'm more in love with the original recipe or the leftover creation. I have photos of neither. I've been on an anti-food photo kick for ages and until I find (ha! The time to create an awesome food photo station in my kitchen chances are you will have to take my word for the fact that something looks as good as it sounds (or maybe better). Instead he asked, "Dinner ready, Mommy? Thank you whoever invented the slow cooker. Rather than posting the h...

Gingham Skies: January 2012
http://ginghamskies.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
January 31, 2012. 19 months is extreme. My boy wakes up and is ready to ROAR! He love bombs Daddy every morning between 5:30 and 6am giving him hugs and kisses and pats and tickles. Daddy is not a morning person but he takes the headbutts and kicks and kisses and love with sleepy smiles and tired chuckles while returning the love. The whirlwind of tiny limbs and peels of laughter is the best imaginable way to start my day. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

Gingham Skies: December 2012
http://ginghamskies.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
December 20, 2012. Welcome Home Chunky Monkey! A long overdue virtual welcome to the newest sweet addition to our family! Our big little man was born on the magical date of 12-12-12 6:58 pm He is absolutely perfect and captured our hearts the moment he arrived. 10 minutes later I had the painless epidural and by 6pm I was fully dilated! My nurses said it was likely the epidural that helped me to relax enough to open things up. I was given a pump to up the epi if need be. I pushed it twice and the...His b...
