It’s already starting…

After a night of partying and piรฑata-smashing, I hit the snooze button a couple [more] times this morning. After making breakfast for the birthday boy and he left for work, I made some pumpkin oats. (Love that the 1/2 C scoop is a pumpkin!) Since itโ€™s a special occasion โ€“even though Iโ€™d do this on…

Moons and Showers

This morning the Pilot was admiring my growing (and now shaking and moving!) belly, and told me โ€œI canโ€™t believe youโ€™re 6 months already.โ€ โ€œUmโ€ฆ Iโ€™m pretty much 30 weeks.โ€ โ€œSo thatโ€™s 7 1/2 months? Ok, I feel better now. Because your arms and legs are still tiny, but this belly is like WHOMPโ€ This…

From list to life

Happy Sunday! A little later blogging today, since weโ€™ve spent the past 12 hours or so sleeping and bringing this list to life: Today Iโ€™m making a baby meal for a family and itโ€™s also the Pilotโ€™s b-day BBQ (his actual b-day is tomorrow). Thereโ€™s going to be a piรฑata, so Iโ€™m thinking it will…

The whole canoodle

Look who I caught canoodling on the couch when I got home from workโ€ฆ So I did what anyone would do: cut in and stole her. Heh heh. She looks really happy about it ๐Ÿ˜‰ Today was a doozy, but a good day. Breakfast and snack were frantically eaten in between classes (egg-rito, and later…

Brother’s Breakfast

Hey, everybody! This is the Pilot filling in for my lovely bride who has to teach fitness classes much later today (I figured she could use a break in the middle of 7 aerobic / stretch classes). Hope youโ€™re enjoying your Saturday. As youโ€™ve probably read, todayโ€™s usually my down day when I regroup from…

Piece of cakewalk

Tonight was a lovely night for a squadron party [the return of hogcorn!!! <—popcorn popped with jalapenos] and a fall festival. The best part? They had a petting zoo, and the Pilot and I got to pet and cuddle multiple goats.   If thatโ€™s not the best way to party on a Friday night, Iโ€™m…

Things I’ve learned [so far]

1. Baby clothes are so.stinking.cute. Way more fun than adult clothes, and wayyyy more fun than maternity clothes. 2. Letting go of control. Having this little baby kicking, growing and doing her thang, has really relaxed my type A personality. So many things are out of my control right now, and all I can do…

Pumping and needing iron

Someone hasnโ€™t been able to start her day. Sheโ€™s laying on the couch until she feels like fully waking up ๐Ÿ˜‰ The Pilot and I slept in a little โ€“he flew late again last night so Iโ€™ll stay up until heโ€™s on the ground safe, and then hang out when he gets home- and then…

Found the power

I think I missed the boat on this one, but I still would like one of the obscenely large pumpkins that I keep seeingโ€ฆ [Shoe is in the photo for size reference] Did anyone out there pick up a giant pumpkin?? Maybe Iโ€™ll wait for next year, or maybe Iโ€™ll just go for itโ€ฆ After…

Sugary paradise

Breakfast looks normalโ€ฆ   but in reality, it was a sugary paradise. A little too sweet even, and I have a giant sweet tooth in the morning. It started out as chia pudding, but I added wayyy too much almond milk, so then I added some Sun Warrior, which didnโ€™t help with the textureโ€ฆ and…
