Hi......

........and goodbye to Blog This!!

This is the official last blog entry of Blog This!

I have decided that my daughter's new life is way more interesting than my own so therefore I will be putting my time and creative measures towards her blog.

Come and check it out at hboehnlein.blogspot.com! Thank you!

It's been too long......

......since I've posted!

Well, a lot has changed since I was last on.
We had our baby girl Heidi.
Man, is she the center of our universe right now. Everything we do revolves around this little bitty person.
We just love her to death!
She is getting bigger and stronger. (she'll be driving the car pretty soon since she's already supporting her head really well. And boy does she have strong legs and one hell of a grip.)

Maternity leave is going well. It's weird not working or having a fixed schedule. Some days, well most days, I have no idea what day it is. I have so many Ellen episodes to catch up on since around that time in the morning is either nursing, pooping, or napping together time.
I'm gonna dread my first full day back. Until then, I am going to enjoy every minute, even in the wee early hours of the morning with her!

The animals are doing well.....they would probably tell you differently though!!
I often wonder what is going through their minds. Something like this.... "who the hell invited her?" "what's with all the damn screaming?" " where's my food already?" " can we go for a walk, ALONE?" " I just wanna lick her sooooo bad"

As most of you already know, Heidi has her own blog. Please check in from time to time for there will be plenty of updates with stories and pictures. Daddy is quite comical with the stories and often makes me laugh my ass off. Gotta love poop stories, or not?

Baby B Belly

Zoey giving the belly some loving! Too cute! I think she got kicked in the face a few times.

Baby's crib

So begins the putting together of the crib. What was nice is that we got it from a friend of ours, Pam and Ken, who already had the majority of it put together (Thank God) and we just had to set up the sides, bottom and the drawer.
Here you will see Libby was the only family member who really gave a crap about the directions.
Zoey's just making sure Mike is putting all the screws in the right place.

Libby was soooooo tired from reading all the directions in all 40 languages.
Yup, she's still under there, making sure the blankets don't move.
Our blanket theme is called Enchanted Forest.

Painting baby's Room

Dad and Zoey, relaxing in between rolling on the paint. Of course Zoey wasn't paining, she was keeping those who were on break, toasty warm in the recliner.

Before and after shots of the room. The blue before hand was a bitch to cover up. Mom, who I know will thank me for putting these on my blog, did a great job with the trimming!!!

Preggo Pix so far......

So tomorrow is the start of my 32nd week of pregnancy.
That's right, I have 8 weeks left to go, or however long it is little B here wants to cook.

So far things have been great, but I have noticed that she is taking up more room and making me a little uncomfortable.
OH and today I almost couldn't get my wedding ring off my finger I was so swollen. Yeah, I had to suck my finger to lube it up in order to get the sucker off. That was lovely!!

It's about time.......

So I have decided to update my blog, once I figured out my user name and password that is, because it's be FOREVER since I posted.

So let's see....mmmm.....where to begin....
I'm sure all of my devoted readers (HA!) get informed on Mikey's blog with what's up with our lives here.
But I will fill you on the small details he may have missed....being a guy and all, they are bound to do that from time to time.

*With baby, everything is still going very well and I feel pretty good. I am starting my 6th month now. That went fast, huh?? We had an appointment last week and everything is on schedule and measuring out right where it should.
*I have to say that I am proud of myself and have to pat my own back for not eating for two, literally. That's a bunch of crap anyways, and I think way too many women take that seriously and then hate the end results. Now don't get me wrong, I splurge just like the rest of them, but not in mass quantities.
*OK, so enough about me. I swear, baby is going to be either a karate kid, a kung fu master or an interior designer/remodel person. Holy cow!! She really gets crazy in there.
*The nursery is coming along, slowly. We should be getting our crib bedding set this thursday and I can't wait!! Then it will be painting, again.
*We went on a tour Monday night of the birth place at the hospital. It makes things less scary when you've seen them and can say, "oh, that's where it will happen, that's where we go, that's what we do, blah blah blah" So check that off the list.
*I finally broke down yesterday and went to the maternity store to buy some jeans. So far I have been in my regular pants/shirts, but I'm starting to show and need a little more room.

*OK, speaking of painting, again. We just got done, a few weeks ago, with updating our bedroom.
*We purchased a KING size bed....Ah YEAH!!! It's amazing! I highly recommend them. We also painted too. Bye, bye red wall, it's been fun. Now we have toned things down a bit by staying in the brown family, and it looks really good.
*We also got a new, funky patterned chair/ottoman for the living room. It really opens the space a lot. We have found a new home for the love seat and recliner. They were just too big for our smaller living room.
*Hopefully Mikey will be starting soon on the granite counter tops and my new kitchen sink (once we pick one out)...I can't wait for that either.

All for now.....
