Lets avoid some Rochelle drama and have a look at some pictures, just for the fun of it.
Here Echo is planking. If you don't know what planking is, you aren't alone. (Its a stupid trend where people lay flat across surfaces, I don't get it either). I didn't know what it was until recently, and I honestly think its one of the stupidest things I've ever heard of, but Echo was being silly and looked like she was trying to be hip by planking, so I took a picture.
Here's my cute Ivy girl "breastfeeding" her baby (affectionately named helmet baby). Its so cute because I remember doing this when I was little.
Trying to snap a picture of Echo's scrunchie-nosed smile. Its hard because she's so wiggly. Sorry its blurry.
Corbin lost his two front teeth about twelve hours apart about a week ago. If you look closely you can see that one of the new ones was already growing in and pushed the baby one out of the way!
This is a picture of some seriously DELICIOUS corn chowder. It makes me so happy. Its my absolute favorite meal right now! Of course all my kids hate it, but that just means more for me. Oh man, just looking at the picture makes my mouth water! Did I mention I got it out of a dieter's cookbook? Its good for you! Although, the recipe didn't call for cheese, I added that because I gotta have cheese! So freakin' good!
This is Dexy and Corbin by their new reading lamps (Thanks Grandma Marde). This pic is actually from Christmas time, when Grandma was still in town, but I forgot to post it. I love seeing these little guys reading in their beds like little grown ups!
And finally, my saving grace. Delicious, nutritious, nausea-relieving grapefruit. For the last 10 days or so my morning sickness has taken over my life and forced me to neglect many of my regular duties. I forced my green-faced self to the grocery store to buy diapers on Thursday and as I passed the produce I could smell the grapefruit, and it is the ONE AND ONLY thing that sounded good to my raging pregnancy hormones. I bought a bag of them. When I got home I peeled one (instead of going the more traditional slicing-in-half route) and ate the whole thing. It made me happier than I had been in days. I've had one everyday since. Grapefruit relieving morning sickness! Who would've thunk it?!

Yay I am so glad that you found some morning sickness relief. I have never been a fan of grapefruit, but that picture looks mighty yummy. That corn chowder sounds yummy. Mind sending the recipe my way ;) My email is jan279@gmail.com. I looked up that planking and I have never heard of such a silly waste of time in my life... I might get hate email for saying that YIKES!
I wish I could have found something to relieve my morning sickness. Good for you. I have been on a big citrus kick lately, I could eat 5 little cute mandarin oranges a day. I also think you need to share your Corn Chowder recipe.
Loved the pictures! I don't think grapefruit would have helped me with morning sickness,I absolutely can't eat that stuff. I don't think I've ever eaten corn chowder. Oh well I liked the post, I'm glad you are feeling a little better.
I think we all want the recipe for the chowder. Will you post it? Or email it to me. I have a yummy corn chowder I make but it is quite complicated and I don't make it very often. Cute pics. Love the Ivy nursing. My girls did that too.
Yay for grapefruit! You call me if you are ever feeling sick and need something!
I love love cheese too. I bet if I could quit eating it, I'd lose 5 lbs! But then I wouldn't have cheese. :(
My mom totally has a picture of me trying to breastfeed my dollie as a little girl. I'm glad I'm not (that) weird!
Your kids are too cute and are growing up so fast! I love the picture of Ivy "breastfeeding"...classic!
