i'm back... for a minute

so, ok, i am a big ol slacker

or at least that's what i thought

and i thought i was the wimpiest pregnant lady ever

until these crazy ladies started measuring my giant baby every other week

latest weigh in... 8 lbs 14 oz with 4 more weeks to go

need i say more?

well, i'm going to :)

that being said, i am going to do a little catch up post

then i'm going back on hiatus until giant baby is born and

i am bored to tears on maternity leave :)

by the way, can i just share how entertaining my boys are...

they recently found the free karoake channel On Demand

every friday night they sing and dance for me

the little one's favorite is the freaks come out at night

remember that song?  it's great

and right now as i type this

the little guy asked mister for grape juice

mister gives him pickle juice instead

so glad i have them here to keep me entertained

word(y) wednesday

so forgive me...

but i have a few things to say about this SUPER cute photo collage

this is puppy

yes, puppy is his name

because if i allow him to have a "real" name

he will live here with us forever

and really, i am about to have a monstrous baby...

i can not take care of a puppy right now :(

SO

although it makes me sad...

if you know anyone who is looking to give a sweet puppy a loving home

let me know

he is getting shots monday and will be ready for a family to love him

I found this poor guy in the woods while working

he was in bad shape

after 3 visits to the vet and lots of love and play at our house

he is doing great...

his fur is growing back and he's putting on weight

he is ready to be a member of someone's family
