I should be planning a birthday party. I should make sure the cake is made just right. It might be Paw Patrol one. It might be Thomas & Friends. I should have the numerous gifts picked out because although Christmas was just a short time ago, a birthday only comes once a year.
I should have local Mom friends who I regularly meet for coffee because we met at the

What a difference a year makes.
I'm typing this post with a semi-sleepy Yoda on my boob. I'm sure you wanted to know that but you can't deny I've been honest for this long so why hold back now?
A year ago, I found out I was pregnant and I remember I had a flurry of emotions go through me. The biggest emotion was relief. We were trying for a
You know, I really need to start being more timely with these posts. I'm totally slacking. :P
Those are my new (read: expensive) glasses. I haven't updated my glasses since high school (seriously) and my contacts in five years. Well, my vision hasn't changed that much in terms of my contacts, but I'm sure they've changed pretty drastically with my glasses. M calls me his hipster wife. I wear that
I'm a day late and dollar short but I didn't forget about this post. This one is special because it's my BARE belly. Yeah, BARE. Stretch marks, dirty mirror, and all.
How far along? 35 weeks, according to LMP.

Mood: Calm before the storm? I was feeling very overwhelmed for a while but now I'm fine, just prepared now.
Sleep: Not much. Been

So we pretty much have everything we need for Yoda's arrival. Well, everything but the tub. Finding a good tub is hard. We want a tub that's good quality and can last for at least a couple of years, well into toddlerdom. Though, we did receive this gem at the baby shower:

Today is my birthday. Two years ago, I was pregnant on my birthday and actually announced it the same day. It was easier to have people tell me Happy Birthday and wish me congratulations at the same time. Though I did announce to my Facebook friends and family a few weeks ago I was expecting and debuted a few of our maternity photos, I've been pretty quiet on Facebook.

This week's FBM post is another special one. It's a sneak peek from the maternity photo shoot. I'm really anxious to see the rest of the pictures. Our photographer (a high-school/longtime friend of mine) took 260 pics so I really can't wait to see which ones made the final cut!
This picture is pretty emotional for a number of reasons. You may have noticed our Molly Bear, Ethan, is centered
I just saw my MFM this past Friday and Yoda is measuring 35 weeks. Yeah, me thinks I'll be giving birth sooner than later. I will update on that in a later post. For now, let's check to see how Mr. Yoda Bear is doing.
According to babygaga.com:
For all the weight and bulk you’re lugging around these days, you’d think your little champ would weigh more than a mere 4

We saw our MFM this past Friday. I also received another NST. Yoda bear is doing fabulous and great! We got a great pic of him when he wasn't trying to cover his face with an arm. He officially has Mommy's lips. Oh dear. My son is going to be a heartbreaker. I need to get out the shovels and shotguns. Forget daddies being protective of their little girls;

This is a letter I wrote to my son after the baby shower last Sunday.
Dear Yoda,
Today was a big day. We had a baby shower in your honor. I finally revealed that I'm pregnant with you and received a lot of support and overwhelming love. I spoke of your brother and you. I decided that I really liked the name, Bogdan, and that will probably be your name when
