Sleep Deprivation Preparation

Is natures way of being a nasty hooch! Not only do I feel like the michelin man, but then now I am starting to look like death with sunken eyes and a perma grump scowl.

So much to do before this kiddo makes his appearance....and I just don't seem to have the time or energy to do it. Especially at this rate with my exhaustion.

New Baby Jax!

Colby's brother Roman and his wife Kate gave birth to a healthy baby boy on July 12th!! He was a bit early and we were both surprised and happy! We got to see baby Kenneth Jaxon Roman III last Sunday for the first time, and he is a cutie with lots of hair!

Looks like Baby V and Jax will be good playmates! It will be exciting to see them together.
