Moving Along!

In case you missed it the first time, check out my second blog, Faith Hope Surrogacy, for some exciting updates! Things are about to get rolling!!

Me Too, Me Too!

When I get up in the morning, look back at the bed, and see this I want to jump right back in! I can't comprehend what it would feel like to sleep in and haven't been able to do such a glorious thing on a regular basis for quite some time. Years, in fact. Tim and I do take turns every other day getting up with Sam the Man who lately thinks 4:30 is a great time to start hanging out. Let's hope Sam starts appreciating sleep soon!!

Pinterest

I'm not going to sit here and rave on the crazy world of Pinterest, however it does pull on the heartstrings of the ultra organized mother, interior decorator, and fashionista I want to be when I grow up. It pretty much is a glorified in Google image search, but it helps me keep things in their place!

Anyway, I've had a stack of old picture frames in my garage since we moved eight months ago and one was lucky enough to find a home inside last month. A little spray paint and chalkboard paint and voilà! I'm hoping I find some more creative juices to erase what I have and end up with something else fun :)

Happy Monday!

One of these days I'll get around to showing you all the fun we had in the Outer Banks. Until then, here's a quick one to wish you a happy Monday from Grant and mommy!

The Last Hoorah

Well, it finally happened… Sam nursed for the last time earlier this week. You all know I have a little attachment to nursing my babies and I'm still a little emotional over it all being done with for good. I loved every stinkin minute of nursing my babies even on the tough days because it's time with them that I will never forget.

Now don't let me fool you, I'm glad to have my boobs back to myself but they're not much to look at anymore!! Let's just say the girls are not nearly the girls they used to be. They've been through a lot over the last few years! I'm having flashbacks to my prepubescent years waiting for anything to show up on my chest!! Oh well, that's what Victoria's Secret is for, right? Still wouldn't trade the time my babies for anything :)

It seems like tradition in my house to make one last donation of breast milk after the three have each weaned. They don't care for my breast milk in a sippy cup for some reason and I always seem to have so much left over. So, off to the milk bank I go. Over 250 ounces to hopefully help other families and their preterm babies get healthy!!

If you, or any moms you know, have extra breastmilk hanging around in their freezer, make sure to let them know that they can donate to a local milk bank before pouring it down the drain!

Need a Smile?

I have so much to update! In the meantime, here's a little something from Sammy :)

My Boys!

LOVE LOVE LOVE them :)

Spilt Milk

Pumping has been my part time job for about the last 11 months and I'm about ready to say bye bye! I thought this was hilarious after I saw it on FB this morning. I'm so sad to see the quiet with Sammy in my arms changing, but happy to see him growing into a little guy too :)

Driveway Snack

Yep, pretty sure they're all gone, Sammy. Good thing Pringles are cheap at Aldi!

Big Girl Camera

After fighting with my cheap, does-the-job, Sony digital camera for about 6 years I gave into a good sale at Best Buy and took the plunge. I have my first big girl camera!! I LOVE IT!!!!!!!! If every one of my pictures turn out half as clear as this one did it will have been worth every penny. And this was only after playing with the camera (no manual reading yet) for about 10 minutes. Yay! Totally excited!
