You're gonna miss this....

Porch returns to work on Friday... I'm now accepting bets as to when, on Friday, I lose my mind. I'm guessing there will be a point at which I strap Baby Porch into the Baby Bjorn and high tail it over to Starbucks (and I'm guessing it will be before noon).

Until then, Porch and I are tag-teaming this adventure and we rock as a team. We've been binge watching House of Cards on Netflix together. The only tears I've had so far were (1) when the Dr. called and ordered us to the ER at Children's immediately and (2) when Baby Porch refused to nurse and I had to let Porch give her a bottle. And I guess the moment I saw those chubby cheeks and realized she was ours! Not too shabby for a chick with raging hormones!

Maybe you've heard this song, You're Gonna Miss This, by Trace Adkins. It's kind of become my theme song as I spend late nights and early mornings with Baby Porch rocking and nursing... I know there will be a day when these moments are gone and she's big. Even now, I look at her and see her changing & it makes me miss those chubby chubby cheeks that greeted me in the delivery room. The days pass slowly, but the years will fly by. I'm trying to savor all of these little moments.

So -- go ahead and leave your guess of when my imminent breakdown begins! ;)

The neighborhood gem

We have lived in our current place for about 2.5 years. Sunday marked the first time EVER that we walked to the neighborhood park and participated in open swim at the pool. I don't know why it took so long... maybe because we're not usually here on the weekends? Not sure. But Sunday was such a gorgeous day that we couldn't resist the urge to be outside but this preggo needed to be cool. I mentioned the pool and called to find out deets (hours, type of swim, fee, etc) and we slipped on our suits & were out the door in no time! We had been working all morning to assemble baby gear and catch up on laundry so we welcomed the break. We spent about an hour soaking up the sun and floating around in the water. We really aren't going anywhere (no more trips to the cabin or Green Bay for me) between now and the baby's arrival so I suspect that if the weather is nice, we'll be more likely to consider the pool. Hey, it's clean, free, and close to home. Can...

Maternity Pictures

I let out the biggest squeal of joy when I went to get the mail today and found this package waiting for me! Seriously, I've been stalking Bobbi's life and seeing everyone's amazing teasers was making me so much more excited to get our pictures! I'm so happy to share the amazing work done by Bobbi at The Salty Peanut. I highly recommend her to all of my Wisconsinite friends, particularly those in the Madison area, though she's willing to travel. Check out the website here and let her know that Mrs. Porch sent you her way! Her work speaks for itself so I won't gush too much...... I seriously cannot pick a favorite. So I'm not going to. But you can! :) Just 19 days until Baby Porch is predicted to arrive! I'm so happy we got these back before she arrived; it's such a fun way to remember this exciting time in our lives. And soon, we won't look nearly as well-rested, but we'll have ...

I suppose this kid's gonna need somewhere to sleep...

As an avid blog stalker reader, I have been following several stories of other families who have struggled with infertility and am actually just days separated from Liz & her hubby at Wishing on a Snowflak e who adopted embryos and actually had her transfer the same week I did and we both got positive results. I read her blog today and saw the amazing nursery they're putting together for their daughter and I realized something kind of important... Holy shit. This kid is going to need somewhere to sleep. And we're already almost 14 weeks deep. I suspect it's much like the wedding. I was never really the girl who dreamed about her wedding day in great detail. I was too busy hoping to find the right person, the details didn't matter. I feel like I've been so busy wishing, hoping, praying, stabbing myself with needles, etc to give this some real deep thought. Remember when we moved in to our apartment and Porch was all like " We could raise some...
