we call him gus

and he is perfect

7lbs 5oz

20in

muah!

i've been feeling nostalgic lately 

(i can't imagine why!?)

browsing through a few photos of henry tonight

i came across this one from his two year shoot 

(we are big smoochers around here and i  could smooch this boy till the cows come home)

i miss how little he was when this photo was taken

his face seems so much more boyish now

that baby roundness is starting to go away 

i guess people are right when they say being a mother is heartbreakingly wonderful 

i'm so thankful my sweet boy is healthy and growing

but it is not without a little heartbreak that i gaze at these photos 

favorite 'henry word' of the moment

'yesterweek'

as in.....

'i got my hair cut yesterweek!'

breathe

at night

when i feel the kick kick kick of this little one growing inside me

i feel peace

my fears ease

fears about being the mother of two

fears for how henry is going to adjust

sadness over our time as three coming to a close

will i love two as i have loved one?

will henry know it is because of him we are bringing this new life into the world?

he brought us so much joy how could we not give him a forever friend? 

so many questions 

and then.....

kick kick kick

(photo by hrw photo)

so i threw a fit....

you know that scene in the movie 'this is 40'

when the daughter is in her closet screaming because nothing fits her?

that was me today

it wasn't pretty

and i'm not proud of it

thankfully target came to the rescue with a cute pair of leggings

you know what else i'm not proud of?

changing in to said leggings whilst parked in front of my friend's house before going inside for a baby shower

pregnant belly + steering wheel = super awkward wardrobe change

make me smile

our new chair/stool for the kitchen

henry can reach the counter and help me cook

tomatoes from my brother's garden

they taste like sunshine and summer

stone and henry at dinner last night

'honk! honk!'

(thank you kitty for snapping this gem)

30 weeks

snagged this free people night gown at nordstrom rack for $1

yes, $1

i don't even care that it is big!  

it was a $1!!!!

flat hank

henry's gaga and babs

(aka: our best friends)

have been traveling the great US of A for the past year

it's been sad without them here

especially on our walks....

when we walk past their house (they live two blocks from us)

henry says 'that's gaga and babs house...they on a loooong twip'

following their blog cruzingandboozing.blogspot.com

has helped make us feel not so far from our friends

and every once in awhile a little man known as 'flat hank' makes an appearance on their trip.....

and it's down right funny to see what that little man has been up to!

recently he stopped by the town of forks

home of sexy vampires
