It's a...

GIRL!!

Meet our newest addition, Priscilla. (Yeah, I know...but everyone thinks it's a perfect name!)

There are Flintstone Feet...

And there are Elliot's feet.

On our mini vacation taken this past weekend I was able to find a Stride Rite outlet. I have heard they are a great place to find wide shoes for babies. So, we had Elliot's feet sized for the first time (we have simply put shoes on and if they fit we bought them!). To our surprise Elliot doesn't just have wide feet like we thought...he has EXTRA wide feet. We had to get him 6XW shoes!!

By the way, he gets those wide feet from his daddy. I have tiny feet.

Those Things are Dangerous!

Anyone who knows me IRL knows that I get hurt doing the dumbest things. Fracture my wrist falling UP stairs, fall off a Pogo Ball and bust up my elbow, crack my head open going from crouching to standing up in the bathroom. Yes, these are just a few examples of the things that happen to me.

Yesterday, after getting home from a FABULOUS lunch at a local restaurant, I was setting Elliot down. In my coat pocket was this cup...

Now, I know it didn't fit perfectly into the pocket, but my hands were full with Elliot and his books. Well...as I put Elliot down this thing falls from my pocket and lands on my toe. I jumped up and down, trying not to cry, screaming "OW, OW, OW!" because it hurt sooooo bad. I think my toe might be broken, or at least very, very bruised and injured. It's still swollen this morning, I had to find a pair of shoes that didn't squish it or it would kill me and any little bump sends shooting pains through it.

Only me!

Dollar Bills

I have spent too many of these this past week. Summer clothes for Elliot, summer maternity clothes for me (most used even), a new computer (tax $), and now we are going on a mini vacation next weekend (also tax $). That's lots of dollar bills flowing from my bank account. While it's necessary and I got good deals, I don't like it...not all at once anyway. I feel broke and payday is still a week away.

I am excited for a faster computer and that we are taking Elliot on his first trip to a zoo!!

Elliot is Getting....

A brother.

I had my anatomy scan today and we found out this one is a boy too. While we were hoping for that little girl, I am happy that Elliot is going to have a brother. I hope they will be best pals.

Unfortunately, that brings the count to Girls 2 - Boys 6. I have one queen of a cat on my side and that's it. But we are strong and will defend our ground.

On the plus side, we kept all the baby stuff, including Elliot's clothes. So we won't need to spend much this time. We are hoping Elliot will be ready for a toddler bed this summer, so much cheaper than another crib.

And because I am such a slacker with this blog...some Easter pics...

Elliot has decided to take up golf....or maybe he's looking for a career as a caddy!

We've had some crazy weather lately, some days are very spring like then winter comes back and it is cold and snowy. This weekend is supposed to be in the 70's. Highly unusual for Upstate NY this time of year. We plan to make the most of it!!

Elliot has been a terrible eater lately. Pretty much no fruits or veggies, although this has been a problem since we moved away from baby food. Plus he's been going through the "I will only eat mac n cheese today" stage. Of course the food changes each day. His usual favorites are best left to the dog...or thrown at him. Needless to say, Elvis has gained some weight lately and will need a diet and extra exercise.

I can hardly believe that I am 16 weeks pregnant and in 2 weeks we should be able to learn the sex of the baby. I have a strong feeling it's another boy, Tony feels it's a girl. One of us is going to be right, the question is which one??!!

Missing: One Good Sleeping Infant

Replaced with one that won't nap, well barely, and wakes super early in the morning now. I want the good sleeper back. I need that hour in the morning, especially these days because I don't sleep well due to pregnancy. I hate the evenings filled with grumpiness.

Who took my good sleeping baby???? Please return him. No questions will be asked. I will just be grateful to have my happy, rested boy back.
