The Last Few Days

OK, so there are productive things I should be doing right now (finish cleaning the bathrooms, pack up my bag, finish folding the laundry, etc) BUT my energy level is next to that of a sloth, sooooo I'll blog instead :)

Erik and I took advantage of our last date night for quite some time and went to Outback on Saturday.  Yummy!

I thought it was so cute when I saw Jackson giving Wyatt a ride on the back of the tricycle.  They were both loving it.  However, Erik (and me?) have insisted on a new "no tricycle in the house" rule . . . poor kids :) (By the way, I hate when I take a picture in a messy room-- oh well!)

Grammy sent a really cute St. Patrick's Day package for the kids.  They love the little St. Patrick's cups and plates.  Jackson immediately said it was time for a tea party.

I was treated to another surprise baby shower on Monday.  This one was at Erik's work (so I guess technically it was for Erik!).  Tory arranged for Andrea to watch the boys while I met Erik for lunch.  When I got to his office, they led me and Erik upstairs to a yummy potluck lunch.  It was nice to meet the rest of the people that Erik works with.  We got some more cute outfits for baby Nyholm and a rocking bassinet.  It was totally unnecessary, but totally appreciated!

Not sure if I should disclose this, but in the last couple of months I have been OBSESSED with the smell of Irish Spring soap.  Like I keep a few opened bars around the house so I always have one handy.  When I start to feel nauseous, I sniff them like crazy and it almost always makes me feel better!  Well, I think Erik was starting to worry about my "problem," but I stumbled upon a whole discussion thread of Irish Spring obsession on babycenter.com!!  It felt really good to know I'm not the only pregnant freak out there!  I wonder how I'll feel about the smell after tomorrow :)

The Irish Spring thing totally makes sense since you had Anna on St. Paddy's Day! I was obsessed with the smell of the gourmet coffee aisle at the grocery store with several of my pregnancies, even though I have never had even a sip of coffee! I have heard of women loving the smell of gasoline while they are pregnant as well, so no, you are not a freak!

I think this means congrats jenny and erik...so you had your baby girl yesterday ? and her name is Anna -- oh how sweet. i hope you are doing well and really get to enjoy your new little pink.

By the way since i was a 10th grader and you know that was a LONG time ago...i've been crazy about the smell of dial bar soap :) that's my only brand of bar soap all these years and I have NEVER opened one without sticking the paper wrap up to my nose and felt the happiness... but it never occurred to me to keep a bar around for some nice smelling time :) now that we are a liquid soap home...i miss it...so you have given me an idea.

One Weekend, Three Living Arraignments

So I don't have too much time to blog, but thought I would do a quick update of our moving weekend.  First of all I wanted to post this pic of Wyatt trying to drink the rain that came last week.  It was the first time it's really rained here since we came to Arizona, and it was so weird.  Hot, muggy, rain.  All packed up and ready to go.  Friday was our last night in the apt (hallelujah!) One last goodbye To avoid having to pay into the new month, Saturday and Sunday night we stayed in a hotel (it was a lot cheaper surprisingly).  Wyatt was having lots of fun jumping on the bed. So Monday morning, as I was showering, I felt like the conditioner was making my hair feel really weird.  Well, that's because I dumped a bottle of lotion on my hair . . . FYI, that doesn't work well. Monday we finally moved in!  I took these pictures after a full day of unpacking and cleaning if you can believe it.  They look really bad, but they give you a tas...

21 Weeks

OK, so I guess the consensus of the man giving me the flowers is creepy to everyone.  I think it's one of those times you had to have been there, because he really didn't seem creepy.  In any event the flowers still look pretty in the kitchen :) Wyatt just cracks me up these days.  I think this is just the funnest age when their personality really shows its true colors.  While we were playing in the backyard I tried to get a video of him using his "worker man voice"  It is the most hilarious thing.  He loves to do things to get me (and especially Erik) to laugh. While I was taking pictures of the boys, I decided I might as well get a shot of the baby tucked away (well not so tucked apparently) at 21 weeks.  I really am feeling so good these days, as long as I get some sleep.  Now that we are back on a normal schedule that's a lot easier to do! Jackson has reached to a new stage as well of keeping himself entertained (without the TV)...

Anna loves being by the fire.  It's actually the only time she doesn't fuss if she's set down.  This girl likes to be held! Our little Sumo wrestler A little dream smile :) We finally found some good bunk beds on Craig's List.  Jackson LOVES sleeping on the top.  I'm still keeping Wyatt in his crib, because he does so well in it.  I see no point in rocking the boat when I have a newborn to give me sleep troubles already.  We'll put Wyatt in bunk bed sometime this summer. Sweet girl.  This is one of my favorite outfits that I ordered for her, because it has my favorite color: yellow :) Jackson always wants to hold her.  Last night we had this sweet conversation: Jackson: "Mom, when are you going to wake up tomorrow morning?" (I've been able to sleep in while my parents have been here) Me: "I don't know Jackson it depends on how much Anna gets up during the night." Jackson: "Oh, I hope she doesn't need to nurse tonight...
