Why I shouldn't have to buy Porch an anniversary or bday gift

"What do you want for your birthday/anniversary this year?" Mrs. Porch sweetly asked her darling husband.

"I really want ______.  And here's my Amazon wish list."

"Okay.  Cool."  Mrs. Porch begins to look at said Amazon wish list and straight up laughs.  Nothing on that list is a conventional gift.  75% or more of this list contains parts or equipment for the new Xterra.  Further, nothing on said list is less than let's say $100.  There's a Blu Ray player on this list for almost $500.  I love you, Porch, but seriously?  I work for Head Start.

I've been listening really carefully to his hints and had a few things maybe in mind.  This seems to be the only way to surprise someone like Porch.

Porch had an eye exam at Target Boutique Friday morning and upon his return, walked through our front door with one of the items he had been hinting at wanting.  Gimme a break here man!  Perhaps he doesn't know how this gifting thing works, but when you ask someone for something, you don't just go out and buy it for yourself, especially this close to our anniversary (July 24 if you were curious).  Sigh.

I'm about thisclose to just throwing money at him to get the surprise effect I'm looking for.

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?
