saltine crackers are my new best friend

thanks for the baby love congratulations. :)


the kiddos have changed their tune for the most part and are currently jockeying for naming rights.
grayson's favorites today are either mark or maria.
arianna's favorites are tumson (?) or rosie.


mommy's favorite is week 13. that would be the week where this blessed sickness usually subsides.
but for now i fight the desire of hibernation every single moment of the day.


the exhaustion coupled with the nausea is enough to make me seriously wish i could climb under my covers with my saltines and wake up in about 6 weeks. ugh.


thank goodness for all of us that i have lovely pictures from the fall to talk about.
or else i would have to take pictures of the pajamas that i've been in for 2 days.
or maybe me eating toast by the light of my computer at 4 am.
or the breathing exercises that help quell the panic the moment i realize i'm ravenous but unfortunately food hates me.


5 weeeeeeeks.
but a baby :) a sweet little baby :)


let's just lose ourselves in autumn leaves shall we?

we only live about 3 blocks from this gem of a park. 

grayson has never found a sidewalk he hasn't liked.

autumn also brought the nana for a visit...

my mom was covered in babies from morning till night.

and that's how she likes it.

she even helped by sewing the toes on the baby elephant costume...

luci approved of her handwork.

the grand babies and the nana adore each other.
and that makes my heart happy. :)

i think i only have one more catch up post from fall left. 

then i will be forced to determine which would be more interesting to post about...

an in depth comparison study of regular saltines to whole wheat saltines

or

an expose into why runza closes at 10 pm but i crave their french fries at exactly 10:15 pm.

see.. now we're all hoping i feel better soon. :)
