It is so fun having a little parrot around the house.

Have you ever seen that Expedia commercial where the jingle ends with a group of people singing "dot com?" Well, apparently Little Man has heard the commercial enough that he has decided that everything warrants the "dot com" song addition. Here are some of the things we've heard him say/sing....oh and he always SINGS the "dot com" just like they do in the commercial.....

"Hi pop!.....dot com!"

"Daddy, I want milk!........dot com!"

Mommy, where daisy?.......dot com!"

"Oooh I want 'roni cheese too!.....dot com!"

"Night mommy!......dot com!"

At Home

My apologies to all of you (aka "both") who faithfully read my blog. It has been an eventful 2 weeks.
I am currently at home on bed rest after another, yes my third, stint in Labor and Delivery. I was quite surprised to show up for my regular appointment on Thursday and and find out I had made some significant strides towards 'being ready to deliver' and was sent to L&D for more tests, a couple of rounds of steroids (for the baby's lungs) and some anti-contraction medication. I was kept in L&D for just over 48 hours before I was discharged to full HOME bed rest. It has been an interesting couple of days and I am not thrilled about bed rest but I'll take home bed rest over hospital bed rest any day of the week. I'm also told that the goal is just to get me to 35 weeks, for now, so 2 weeks is really not that bad.

Little Man was such an angel and not at all afraid of the hospital. He was quite the flirt and spent most of his time working the nurses for candy and juice. Once he figured out that the "food room" was just down the hall he started asking me constantly, "Mommy, want juice? Want cracker? I get it!" and then he would run toward the door with daddy chasing him. Fortunately, he is perfectly happy with his "garage" of tiny cars and a large windowsill which allowed me a lot of quality time with my boys and helped stave off the boredom.
So for now I am just hanging out at home trying to keep this sweet little girl baking for 2 more weeks and am once again VERY grateful for a job that can be done offsite.

Our Little Man

Not real sure what's going on here.....
His latest fascination is with tunnels and mommy/daddy's bed is the "big tunnel"

A Day Off

Today I took a much needed day off from work to give my boys an entire day of my undivided attention. The three of us took a trip to Ft Worth to visit the Japanese Botanic Garden. Little Man l-o-v-e-d feeding the giant koi and running around the beautiful garden paths. Our trip was supposed to include the seasonal butterfly garden but since it was spring break the wait time was more than 3 hours and so we skipped it in favor of a leisurely lunch together. Tonight Trav is taking me out on a date to our favorite restaurant, The Melting Pot and I cannot wait! Here are the highlights of our day....

Not a bad $7.00 spent, if you ask me!

Lovey

21 weeks
25 weeksSo I've had quite the growth spurt in the past 4 weeks... explains the TEN POUND gain! Not being allowed to exercise can really do a number on your frame of mind as you pack on the pounds and I am definitely concerned that I have another 13 weeks left. YIKES!!!

On a different note, here is a really cute video of Little Man and his "Lovey". I especially like how he thanks himself AND says "your welcome" (also excuse the mess, I was working on a huge art project).
