Babies Don't Grow on Trees

At least, not that I'm aware of; because if they did, we'd already have 2.5 and our nearest & dearest would stop asking "when are you guys gonna have a baby?" That's just plain mean. I mean, seriously, Barnabe can hear you.

Let the record show that Los Porchs currently are without tiny humans not because we're soul-less demon people who think that babies are evil; but because babies take a certain amount of magic. Let's be serious -- there's like a 15% chance of getting knocked up when you try and everything is in line. So factor in our work hours and stress levels and you can bet we're not in the best place for that magic. Alas, when there is something to brag about, I promise to tell family & friends...

I'm not keeping a big secret so kindly stop asking.

Oh, and yes, I realize that some of my younger cousins and friends have already started their families. That's amazing and I couldn't be happier for them. They aren't me. They aren't a part of Los Porchs. So it doesn't matter if they win the GD lottery. Won't change our lives (but seriously, if you win the lottery, I'd consider allowing you to be part of Los Porchs).

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. Charlotte's Birth Story... I woke up Thur...

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?
