In-N-Out Win

By Ashley -
So today was... well not a win day. Let's start by saying that Zach is cutting at least 6 teeth. I think it could be 8, but he chomped down on my hand (breaking the skin) and I didn't try and check again. So he's been screaming since... Friday. And Michael, oh sweet Michael has decided to be really really feisty and mean lately. So there's that. On a normal day totally fine. Add to it the 20 days of rain we have received and the one day of sun (yesterday) and they have cabin fever. So today went fine except that Michael woke up SCREAMING at 6am and never really went back to sleep. Brian went up to get him calmed down and they both were a little bit cross. By 7 both kids were up, by 9 both were yawning and asking for naps, by 10 Michael went to school and Zach went down for a short lived nap. We tried naps after school but somehow bothering your brother is more fun and by 4 they had to be physically restrained from each other. Brian also had to work late, not normally a huge deal but today is wednesday which meant tball practice at 5:30 and swim lessons at 6:30. The trouble with these activities is that Zach likes to go to bed at 6:15. So Michael agreed to skip tball and just go for swim. We had planned to eat one thing for dinner, but in light of the fighting I went with the fast(er) option of breakfast for dinner. I went to help Michael with something (about 2 feet from the eggs on the counter) and Zach pulled all 18 on the floor. Only a few broke, but in the process of cleaning off the floor, the child, and everything he managed to smear, I burned the sausage. I promptly turned off the stove, told Michael we weren't going to swim lessons and we got in the car to go to In-N-Out. We got home (after screaming there and back) cried during dinner, took a shower where blood was shed, brushed teeth with a great deal of screaming, pulled them off each other (Zach was slapping Michael and Michael was kicking Zach in the stomach... yeah) and put them in their respective beds. Both had passed out by 6:29. Not a great day. Whew, well as Mr. Slinger says in Lily's Purple Plastic Purse "Today was a rough day, tomorrow will be better".  But the In-N-Out dinner was a win, not as great as the yummy food my sister in law keeps posting from her vacation (man we need to go on a kid free vacation!) but better than eggs scrambled with floor dirt so win overall.

Merry Christmas!

We are planning on having a very exciting Christmas at our house this year. We are super excited to announce (to all three people that read this that have already been told) that we are expecting another baby! Yay, the due date is December 22nd, so it is possible that we will actually have a very exciting Christmas, though in all honesty I am hoping for something more around the 16th than 25th.  We had an ultrasound today, and a few things. First off, I think this kid is going to give his/her older brother a run for his money. The ultrasound tech told us this was the most active baby she had ever seen, my response was pretty much, well you should have seen Michael 2 years ago. The baby is healthy, but... crazy. She had such a hard time taking measurements with all the flipping, flailing, and somersaulting. Pretty sure this kid is going to have to be so crazy to keep up with Mikey, but pretty sure that 2 years from now I am going to be exhausted. Even though it is a little b...

Baby Zach is Here!

Baby Zach is here! Zachary Henry December 16, 2013 8:41am 6lbs 14oz 20.5 inches Sweet guy, he seems so tiny compared to Michael, and so so tiny compared to how big Michael is now. I think he looks a little bit like Michael, especially his mouth. He has less hair and his eyelashes are lighter, but he is still adorable. I know he has the newborn grey eyes for now, but they look lighter than the pictures of Michael at the same age. I am curious to see what he ends up looking like in a few weeks! The three boys. I can't believe we have two boys! We have to have one token labor picture. And as there is only one this is the one that gets posted. More on the labor later, but let's just say I wasn't loving life at this moment, waiting for the doctor to arrive was the longest half hour of my life, but we made it so yay!  So these are out of order, but this is Zach right after he was born. He was very quiet. He cried initially, but after a minute he calme...

7 pounds

By Ashley -
I don't usually discuss weight on my blog, but I need to have a little discussion about it today. Let me preface by saying I am NOT pregnant, now that I have cleared that up, I need to gain 7 pounds... I do, 7 pounds, that's the goal. Here's the thing, I am not entirely sure how to go about doing that. I don't lead a totally unhealthy lifestyle but unlike many people I don't particularly enjoy exercise. I am a busy person, well I dont know that busy is the right word but I spend a good portion of my time chasing, lifting, spinning, or carrying a 19 month old around. I am never going to go for a run or go to the gym, might help my heart but aint gonna happen (sad that I spent so much time learning about health) I do walk with Mikey in the stroller (weather permitting) for about a mile each day at a brisk (ish) pace, and I do try and eat relatively healthy, but I will be the first to admit that two crunchy tacos are not a problem for me. I don't shy away from swee...
