New rooms for 'the boys'

New baby boy #2 will be moving into Asher's room. I think the stripes that are there already will fit nicely with the caterpillr theme. Now instead of it being a Dr. Seuss room, it'll be a storybook room. Asher will be moving to our spare bedroom, which already had 2 twin beds in it. We've chosen the sheets the boys will have! They were sold out online, but we were able to go to the store yesterday, grab one of the last vintage airplane sets there, then ordered a set at The Woodlands store to be mailed to us. Thank goodness because if they were sold out, we were scrambing to find a new idea for them that was similar, yet different.

Here is Asher's set: And baby boy #2 when he's old enough:

Here is an idea of some of the other contenders if we were not able to find our vintage train & airplane set at Pottery Barn. They're from Restoration Hardware and BOY was there a price difference!

Here's one we liked from Land of Nod:

32+ weeks!

I did the Monster Mash Fun Run (2 mile Zombie Walk) while Doug did the 15K. I pushed Asher and boy was it draining! I'm still waddling around at work. Everyone asks me "how long do you plan to work?" Well, I'd like to say as long as this baby will allow so I can take full advantage of the 12 weeks I get for FMLA. We'll see what 'baby #2 think'. Of course I have some swelling in my feet after my shift, but so would teachers, and anyone else whose job demands they're on their feet most their day.

On my 4 days off, I try to do at least one spinning class--since the absolute last place I will be is on a bike after delivery-- have one "Asher and Mommy day" as we've always had, then rest as much as possible. 'Rest'= a full day of housecleaning and still trying to get our spare bedroom cleared out so we can move Asher into it.

Fun with work friends!

Here are some of my co-workers and I at a Halloween Party. Can you believe 3 of the chicas in this photo are pregnant?! Fortunately only 2 of us will be on Maternity Leave when I'm out. One will start in November and I start in December. One of these girls will start in March and the other in May!

We're an example of something!

Our photographer is starting to add holiday cards to the services she offeres. I saw on her facebook site she chose us as one of the examples!

Family Photos: DONE

Yes, we finished them today! After scheduling these in July, we were still up late in the Galleria last night getting some last minute things for my boys--namely DOUG! Ha. I had Asher's stuff ordered, shipped here, and washed way before this weekend. Needless to say, Daddy and Mommy did get haircuts (mommy got her hair did as usual for these events...since she is clueless on how to use a blowdryer & straightener), mani/pedi, facial a couple weeks ago, and make-up done today at MAC (my first time using them).

We used our 'regulars', DW Photoz/DW Little Bitty Photography. We met up in the Hermann Park & Japanese Garden area. It was swarming with mosquitos! Disgusting. We eventually made it to downtown, but by then it was getting dark...thanks to the scattered showers that came down on us by the end of the night. Either way, I was very happy I could still fit into my wedding/engagement ring & heels.

Note: I feel very spoiled. I was just having some unwind time and saw our photographer put a preview up of one of Asher's photos! I'm so happy already :)

Did that count as my Babymoon?

My trip to NYC this past weekend is what I'm referring to...hmmm...

Happy 5th Birthday Brandon!
