Selling my soul to Amazon

I hate crowds at the mall.  In fact, even during the non-holidays, I typically refuse to visit the mall.  The groups of people walking 5-deep down the hall, women pushing double-wide strollers and treating the stroller as a cart while the child either is carried/walked or is not even present.  Indeed.

Amazon, I love thee.

For real, there's little I love more than clicking and having boxes arrive at my doorstep a few days later.  Hello!  I live in Chicago, home of the 10.5% sales tax and I'll be honest, I don't really get why people come to Chicago to shop.  Especially when they frequent places that are available in their hometowns.  I get the high-end stores like Tiffanys & I will go to that kind of place in person.  Other stores?  Brush up those websites.

Don't get me wrong, I love to shop.  I just prefer to do it from my couch, in my pj's, possibly while eating a snack.

Until I have a stroller/child (apparently they can be separate), then I'll take on the malls.

Payback's a bitch.

Charlotte {9 months}

Let's just put this out there, we picked Charlotte before Charlotte was a princess.  ;)  And I'm not sure that the royal baby will ever be called Charlie or Charlie Bug and I'm even more certain that I don't care what they named their kid.  It's just about to be an amazingly popular baby name and we were TOTES ahead of that trend. Charlotte is 9 months old already! Stats Weight:  20 lbs, 12 oz (86.13 %ile) Length:  29.75 inches (98.75 %ile) Head circumference:  18.23 inches (96.69 %ile) This girl is perfect.  She is proportional and amazingly squishy. Teeth:  still just the 2 lower, but I'm confident she'll have a few top teeth soon.  She's been a drool machine lately and everything is back to being in her mouth. Charlotte likes... ... walking around the house (holding mama and daddy's fingers) ... Army crawling, especially when she can pull on the high pile carpet in her room ... those Gerber wheel treat things ... bath time ...

Charlotte's birth story

Thank goodness this isn't my 40 week update; I was really nervous that I'd have to write one of those and even possibly the dreaded 41 week update!  Today was her due date, but we got to meet her just a little early.  Charlotte Esther joined our family at 2:07am on Friday, August 8th... and changed our lives forever.  There's now a squishy baby who calls for us and loves nothing more than snuggling on our chests.  We are, in fact, living the dream.  A dream 4 years in the making and worth every moment.  My heart is so full of love for Charlotte and I am so excited to see how she grows and changes. I have always enjoyed reading the birth stories of my blogger friends' babies and felt it gave me hope as it was the final moment in the battle against infertility, the crossing of a finish line.  So today, in celebration of love and this chubby cheeked baby girl, I share with you the story of Charlotte's birth.

Momma K

It's true.  I love my mom.  She's my best source of advice & wisdom, even though it took me roughly 20 years to figure that out.  I just wanted to take a quick second and thank her for all that she's done for me and especially for the things she didn't do for me.  =)  I wouldn't be the person I am today without her. Love you mom! We're pretty fabulous, no?
