Hendrix's First Year Scrapbook!



Well, I did it. I finally finished Henry's scrapbook. I kept it pretty simple in hopes that it wouldn't take me long, but boy did it ever. However, the last few months, it's been GAME ON with my procrastination. With this next little one on the way, I knew this scrapbook would end up on my "list of unfinished things." I wasn't having it. So, I buckled down at every nap time I could and made it happen.


I plan on starting Roscoe's (Yes, this lil' babe's name!!! I'm keeping it off Facebook for now. The peanut gallery gave us too much commentary over Hendrix :) in January. Hopefully, I can have the bare bones done before he pops out! That way, I can keep up with it as we go. WOULDN'T THAT BE IDEAL? After that, I plan on making "A Year in Our Lives" picture books online. I figure I'll stick with the month by month idea and do special pages for holidays... That means, I'm behind already. I need to get on that. :)


It's all about Christmas time here. I'm so glad I don't have this still hanging over my head! What did you do to chronicle your babes when they were babes? Is is on your unfinished list? Any ideas for future documenting?

27 weeks, baby!



Things are in full swing here. Christmas is around the corner, and then this little guy follows soon after. We are working on quite a few (probably too many) DIY projects, washing and folding baby clothes and snuggling Hendo like crazy. I am carrying MUCH lower this time around, and already I am finding myself almost unable to pick Henry up. I'm having to sit down to do a lot more. I'm trying SO HARD to be conscious of taking it easy, but it's not easy this time of year, is it?

So, I'm forcing myself to SLOW DOWN. To sit. To lay on the floor in Henry's room while he plays. This little one will be here so soon. I am already aching to hold him. Oh, boy. I'm in trouble! :)
