Free tip: if the water is FULL of oyster shells, taking your shoes off is a poor choice.

Skeptical of the lobster rolls. Probably switched at birth.

Couch nap twinsies

High jumper

Don’t tell her that’s not a horse.

You can almost see the ball under my giant belly (Last belly appearance!!)

This is what the sky looked like at 6 am when we went to the hospital because my water broke.

This is what my husband looked like while we waited ALL DAY for my labor to pick up.

This is what I looked like while I was HATING EVERYONE because my epidural stopped working.

Father of THREE

Beautiful day

There are like 300 versions of this exact photo on my phone

More sleeping

She insisted on coming to pick us up

Pink bouncy seat, Linc don’t care

Looking a little yellow

Napping with daddy in his fancy outfit

LOOK AT ME I’M STILL CUTE TOO WHAT’S ON MY FACE

Doing the hokey pokey, because that really is what it’s all about.

These are all gone now.

He loved the lights. I did not love the hospital, but he loved the lights.

Mommy I’m a walrus! A turkey walrus!

Obsessed with the new bathmat

The kids are enjoying the clean, newly made-over bathroom too

I want to buy everything too, buddy

Princess Grumpypants

Well, that explains the grumpy pants

Ikea is fun for everyone

Finishing up errands I NEVER thought I would get done before the baby came

OK MY TOES LOOK NICE I CAN GIVE BIRTH

Evening aquarium visit

3.5 hours in L&D for tests, NO BABY

To the pond for some fish-catching (we caught no fish)

I enjoy sunsets and long walks on the curb trying to get the baby to FALL OUT

Infant seats are useful, even without an infant

Trapped in my seat by bins of baby clothes that are ALL ORGANIZED now

Toys on the porch are more fun than toys in the house

Cuddles. Very grainy cuddles.

NOBODY MOVE, THEY’RE QUIET AND HAPPY.

Swim lessons are the best day of the week

Who can possibly feel that depressed in the shoe aisle at Target?

She’s a fish

At least it makes a good shelf for dessert?

More fish-like behavior

Fort time

Naps

I woke up and was STILL PREGNANT

The princess accompanied me to my growth ultrasound

Summer means letting them stay up until they ask to go to bed

When it is too hot to do ANYTHING, buckets of water on the porch are good enough

My hero

Maybe some day I’ll need some baby clothes

It’s was a little humid

That drink is 150% sugar.

Showing off her floating skills

That is not the baby I was hoping would appear while I was at L&D

I made a giant pasta salad that no one else in my family eats. I am a selfish pregnant lady.

My cat says: For real, are you ever going to have that kid?

I LOVE MY BEAR MOMMY!

It was a really long, really hot week and by the end she wasn’t super excited about the fireworks

Obligatory blurry firework picture to prove we made the effort to go see them.

I don’t actually know what time she got up, but she was asleep by 11 am.

My secret apple orchard

Too lazy to grill our own food means 5 Guys takeout on the patio

A long week finally caught up with him

She’s obsessed with the rhododendrons

She looks really happy because…

…BOUNCE HOUSE. We love birthday parties.
