Baby news! (not mine)

For those of you who have been following my friend Kelsey's story of bedrest and pregnancy drama - she had her little boy last night! He's over 8 weeks early, I believe, but so far it sounds like he's doing really well. How cool that we'll both have baby boys this month...

Blizzard 08

3 posts in 3 days - it's like NaBloPoMo again!

The past 36 hours have brought record breaking snow to our area, and everything is closed and cancelled. Even though I'm completely ready for winter to be over, it's kind of nice that this one fell on a weekend when we didn't have many plans, so it was a good excuse to spend some time at home as a family.

Brian took Katy out this morning and found a group of kids playing on the next street over. They had made a really impressive tunnel and were doing some serious city sledding. He said they had such a blast - I wish I could've gone with them, but it's nice that Katy got some Daddy-time, too.

We've gotten some snow, and we're supposed to get a bunch more. The forecast actually says "Blizzard." Are you kidding me? When Brian got home from work, he went out to shovel and took Katy with him (for which I am thankful. She loves to play in the snow, but I cannot zip my coat or fasten my boots at this point, and I feel so badly that she's stuck inside with such a swollen mom). She came back inside crying because she didn't want to come in, even though her cheeks were as red as they come.

Watching a video while cuddling with baby. Lately she's been obsessed with her babies. We even took one of them to storytime this week (big mistake on my part, as baby caused a ruckus among the other toddlers). I'm hopeful that this means she'll at least be somewhat loving to New Baby. Until, of course, she realizes how much of mom's attention he demands. Then the honeymoon, I assume, will be over.
