Tuesday Truths

1. The truth is... I feel terrible that I've been slacking at writing on my blog. I haven't even written about Christmas yet and it's the end of January. Ugh!

2. The truth is... Two of my sisters, my mom, and I are going to make some frozen meals next week on Friday. I can't wait to stock up for when the baby arrives.

3. The truth is... Josh may take my birthday off of work next month. I'm excited. If he can't get it off I will probably go to Tucson and see my sister.

4. The truth is... When Josh talks about computer stuff I try to listen and pay attention but its hard for me to understand the language. He understands but he still talks and I still listen. At least I'm trying, right?

5. The truth is... Tori is going to be allergy tested on Thursday. I can't wait to see what she is allergic too, although I'm scared because I don't know what the process is. Thankfully my mom is going to try to come and be with me.

Tuesday Truths

1. The truth is... Tori is sick. Go figure, right? She has a really bad cold and is having a hard time breathing because of it.

2. The truth is... I'm sick of being stuck at home. I never really noticed how much I would miss doing things. Yep, I'm going stir crazy. I think Tori is as well.

3. The truth is... Thursday afternoon Tori is going to go see a pulmonary specialist for her breathing. Every time she gets a cold she has breathing issues. The doctor is getting a little concerned. I'm just glad we got in so fast!

4. The truth is... Josh started his normal work/school schedule last week. Wow! It really stinks.

5. The truth is... My parents watched Tori Saturday night while Josh and I went and saw The Hobbit. It was great to be able to go out on a date with him, it has been a very long time.

Birthday Zoo Visit

Josh was so awesome and took Tori's first birthday off so we could spend time as a family. Josh really wanted to get a zoo membership so for Tori's birthday we packed a lunch and went to the zoo. We had a lot of fun taking her around to see all the animals. She really liked the tiger, lion, and gophers (my parents would love that). We walked around for awhile and then ate the lunch that we packed. We also took some cute pictures of Tori on the animals at the Little People playground. We thought about going to the petting zoo part but decided against it since Tori was getting a little tired. It was a great day, especially since we got to spend Tori's first birthday together as a family!

Me trying to be a praying mantis, but Josh made it look as though he is about to eat me.

Eating a cracker and getting messy!

Josh's favorite, the otter.

meeting Olloch (see the book Fablehaven for the reference.) He is mine and Josh's favorite part of the zoo. We always have to stop and make a visit when we go.

Petting a chicken at the little people playground. Tori thought it was so silly.

Tuesday Truths

1. The truth is... I've been totally slacking on the blog lately. I've been busy trying to get Tori's new room up and ready so we can move her in BEFORE baby arrives. I want her to think of it as her new room so that way she doesn't think the baby is taking over everything.

2. The truth is... Tori's room is going buggy! Hopefully she isn't scared of bugs later in life. It is turning out so cute so far, and we've only painted and put up the "fence". Pictures to come when we are finished.

3. The truth is... Josh has to go back to school this week. Tori and I have been totally spoiled having him home for dinner every night the last 2 weeks. Oh well, life always has to resume back to normal sometime.

4. The truth is... In about another week and a half I'll be entering into my third trimester. That's a little scary to think about. I'm SO not ready for baby to arrive, although I'm excited to meet him or her.

5. The truth is... Jack Jack is really afraid of the heater. It's really annoying because whenever if comes on he starts to freak out. Changing the air filter has helped. It's most annoying when he comes into our room at night and whines when we are trying to sleep. He hasn't done it for the past few nights. Hopefully it stays that way.
