a few random thoughts...

*please excuse this random post. i really just wanted to remember a few thoughts and save them so one day my kiddos could look back at what their mommy was like while they were growing up.

-the best thing star 94 ever did was create the "big 90s weekend". chris and i has thoroughly enjoyed listening the past several weekends. and eli is learning all the great songs of mommy and daddy's decade.

-i am no good in big crowds. my sis got married this past saturday (that will have an entire blog entry later on) and i truly don't think i had a good conversation with any one person. i am so a.d.d. that i can't concentrate on a single convo. i am constantly scanning the crowd and can't focus on a single thing. so, if you think i might have looked at you and kept walking or i just left you in the middle of a convo...i am totally sorry. blame it on the disorder! it wasn't on purpose.

-i'm really getting nervous about child #2 coming into our lives. mainly because i don't want eli to feel less loved or paid attention to. it is so hard right now because i want to spend all my time with him but i'm so tired that i just want to sleep to! one cute little memory i want to keep from today was when he picked up 8 books and got up on the couch with me. he was reading them and before i knew it, we were both asleep...my head on a pillow, his head under the neck with a book still in his hand. i think we are both worn out from this weekend.

cozy coupe crash!

here is what happened during our weekend...

fun cozy coupe ride, take 1...

cozy coupe ride, take 2...

let's just say chris felt horrible and his reaction in take 2 makes me laugh so hard. oh yeah, eli was ok...he actually hit is head in the grass which was a good thing! please don't report us to the department of family and children services...it won't happen again, i can promise you that!

make sure to look at the post under this one and cast your vote for what baby ak #2 will be.

eli vs. baby #2

belly #1
oct.7.09
38 weeks
160 lbs

belly #2

april.30.11
35 weeks, 2 days
153 lbs

i can see a lot of similarities between these two pics of my belly, though my thighs and booty are quite bigger in the 2nd pic. (i already can't wait to start running!) i think belly #2 is a little higher than belly #1 but that might be because i feel this baby in my ribs a bit more. what you do think? i still am up in the air as to what i'm going to have...though boy was my first thought. any predictions out there?
