So its been almost 6 months since my last blog post, basically since my little Tman was born. I decided that on of my new years resolutions is to get back to blogging. Below are the rest of my new years resolutions:
1. get organized - including getting a big bulletin board to hang over my desk with these resolutions front and center!
2. loose 10 lbs
3. don't spend any $ in Jan (except groceries) this includes going out to eat
4. get more exercise
5. BUY a NEW house!!!!
6. Blog more often
7. Finish up some projects that have been looming over me: hang art in T's room, hang collage pics, finish powder room, cookbook project.

Tylers first....earthquake????
Yep, that is right. Last Friday we had a 3.7 earthquake here in Maryland at 5:04AM. Of course, I was awake and my husband was, too. We can thank Tyler for that. :-) It wasn't scary at all, just strange. It lasted all of 15 seconds, you could hear the rumble of the ground and items shaking but nothing fell or broke. I wonder if Tyler could even feel it in my belly?
Checking In: 40 Weeks and a few days
How far along? 40 weeks and 3 days Here is a belly pic:
Total weight gain/loss: I've lost count and don't even care anymore. I just cant wait to loose it all.
Maternity clothes? definitely yes. Even some of them don't fit anymore. My maternity shirts don't cover the huge belly anymore.
Stretch marks? I think maybe a few small ones on my hips. I have been paying extra special attention to those spots when lotioning up in the AM and PM.
Sleep: Ever two hours at night in between waking up to pee and to turn over. Now I am up at 4AM for a few hours. At least I can catch the news.
Best moment this week: scheduling my induction. At least now there is light at the end of this tunnel. I'm still hoping he will come on his own in the next few days. If not, he will be here Friday.
Movement: yes, stretches and sticks his little bum out under my ribs. Makes it hard to breathe but is so darn cute!
Food cravings: Whole Fruit frozen bars
Gender: BOY!!!!
Labor Signs: I WISH!!
Belly Button in or out? still in, guess it's not coming out.
What I miss: being able to sleep straight through the night. My old body and agility.
What I am looking forward to: meeting my baby and getting back into shape!

Nursery Update: My Glider is here!!!
I am so excited that my glider is finally here. I have been waiting for over 2 months since they are made to order. It's so comfortable and I love that it's a slip cover so I can wash it if it gets dirty or change it out for a different color later on.
Here it is (you can also see the new black out curtains in the background):
Nursery is almost complete. We are just waiting on the lamp and the curtain rings.
On another note, below is a picture of the adorable baby booties that my mom knitted for Tyler. SO CUTE!!!
