from where I sit :: 5 weeks to baby!

the countdown has begun!

okay. truth-be-told. the countdown {for ME} began at about 20 weeks. this 2nd pregnancy has hit me like a {ton} of bricks. but alas, the finish line is in sight!

enter {mo} the monkey....



katie was quick to decide that the one thing {dylan} will need upon his arrival is his own {monkey}. which she has -- with sheer delight -- christened as {mo}. she sleeps with him every night to keep him company until {baby brother} arrives. she also decided on which poses he should be in the pics above....

"mom, that's what a monkey would do."

gottcha. :)

only second to her love-of-the-moment, {mo}, is sneaking into my office first thing in the morning. working from home -- while a {huge} blessing -- is also sometimes its own kind of {curse}. but one of my {favorite} perks is that sweet smiling face that peeks around the corner with her blanket ready for some {bed head} love.
