Your baby is as big as a Papaya?

May 29, 2013

So a couple of things here…I still think its a little weird that all these baby sites compare the size of your baby to fruits and vegetables especially since half the time you aren’t exactly sure what size that fruit/vegetable is. Take for an example, Papaya…i’m sure there are around 3 different sizes at the grocery store and honestly I don’t even ever recalling holding a papaya in my hand?

On to my second topic, crazy names. I still don’t get naming your kids after fruits? Did you really run out of name choices that you decided to go down the produce aisle and debate name choices? If you are one of these parents, I would love to hear your logic? I mean maybe there is a great reason behind it? Enjoy the comic in the meantime, see you next post!

Pregnancy Nesting…

May 24, 2013

So there are some typical questions that people ask when your pregnant and the latest one has been, “So do you have the baby room done yet?” and well….the funny part is that we recently moved into a new house and you would think you would just leave the  “baby room” empty and honestly if it was empty I would feel alot better about the situation. But it is currently a second closet/storage space for my husband, which I thought was pretty funny because he could have used the spare room for those type of things….and I know what you are going to say, “wait, there are paintings in there too Diane?” and yes three paintings which I can easily move compared to the garbage bags of other fun stuff….

See picture:

anyway….he assures me that it will be clean “very soon”….I just hope it’s before this “nesting” period is suppose to take place. Which brings me to the next common question people seem to be asking lately which is, “have you started nesting yet?” and the answer to that currently is no, however it has been on my mind…. 🙂
