It was a sunny Saturday.  I was out running errands, and thought "Hey, I might as well buy this test."  So, I took it home, went in the bathroom and took it.  I didn't look.  I just exited the bathroom and told juC that he was going to be the first one to see the test this time around.  I said it wasn't fair that I was always the first to know. But perhaps there was a large part of me that was scared to know the results.

About 10 minutes later he went in, and came back out and said "Yep."

I have always said that kids less than 2 years apart are too close together for my comfort.  But the truth is, I'd been fighting the feeling that it was time to have another one for months!  I fought it and fought it until I just couldn't deny it anymore.  But the truth also is that I am absolutely freaking out!

I'm doing my best not to focus on the freaking out aspect of my feelings (the reality), and trying to focus on the sweetness of a newborn baby.  There is nothing better than a newborn baby.  And I'm looking forward to having one around November 7.

According to izC, these two windows are the best seats in the house.

We have screened porch. A couple of times I've let izC out there while the kids played. I let her out this time on her own. Every time I opened the door to see if she was ready to come in, she'd look at me in a way that said "Not a chance." and then would look away.

Blog hop!

I can't believe I forgot to post that I was featured on a blog this week. I was able to share luC's birth story and have been part of a "Mommy panel". To read luC's birth story, click here.

And today is the Blog hop! To participate, just add the link to your blog, and go visit everyone else's too!

When we first got izC, she followed us around everywhere, and after the kids would go to bed, she'd come lay right beside me on the couch while I watched TV. If I tried to get her to lay on me, she would have none of it. But now if I wait until she's good and asleep beside me, I can get her to snuggle up with me.

It's the simple things in life...

I would like to dedicate today's Kitty Thursday to my mum. Today is her birthday! Whoop-whoop!

Contrary to how sweet jC looks in this picture, these two have a love-hate relationship. jC LOVES to torture and be mean to izC, and izC HATES it. You can see in izC's eyes that she knows jC is going to turn on her at any second and she has to be prepared.

Be vewwy, vewwy quiet. I'm hunting wabbits.

Hippity hop, Easter is on it's way!

I was a little more than excited to pull out my Easter decorations for the mantle this year. I think it might be because this time last year, we were getting our house ready to sell, so I didn't get to decorate because I didn't want to add that to the long list of things that needed to be done in house selling.

So it was TWO YEARS AGO (holy cow!) that I posted this idea for Easter decor. And I said that "Odds are high that I'll make a trip to JoAnn's to buy some super cute eggs on sale to use for next year."

And sure enough...I went to JoAnn's when everything was marked down 75% and got some cute eggs, and am finally getting to use them.

Although, I have to admit...I kind of liked it better with the cheap plastic eggs. They were much more colorful. Maybe I'll just have to go back to JoAnn's this year and see if they have some colorful ones for next year. But really, throwing eggs in a vase...doesn't get much easier than that.

Sadly, though, my favorite Easter decor idea hasn't been executed this year because I haven't made the effort to go out and find some little tree branches. Perhaps I will get around to it before Easter rolls around.

The closest thing to sun bathing that this indoor cat gets.

Question.

The living room is supposed to be the room that stays clean for when guests stop by, right?

Chomp! Chomp!

Oh, my little luC. I love her dearly. From the time she was born, she has put anything and everything in her mouth. Yes, I know, that's what babies do, but she took it to a whole new level. She was way worse than little jC ever was. She has gotten a little better. But really, only a little. But finding this on the blinds:

And then realizing that she bit them, not one, not two, but NINE times really did take it to a whole new level!!

KILLS ME!

What tortured looks like.
