Our child the carnivore...cannibal!

We put up our Christmas tree last week. We decided to put kid-friendly ornaments on the bottom of the tree so Little T (aka Little Tiger) could play with them without us having to worry that she would break them. Little did we know that our daughter was cannibalistic...

That's right, she bit the face off of the tiger ornament.

Starbucks Date

So I am sitting at Starbucks writing and witnessing what I believe is a first date. So interesting...

The Scare

So on top of being sick this week, I was late...that is right 3 days late (I've been late once and that is when I was pregnant with Little T) and all I could think about was the fact that I was pregnant. Don't get me wrong, we want more kids, but we are not quite ready. However, when my period finally came I was a little disappointed. I am really enjoying Little T and didn't want anything to take away from all of her awesomeness. Plus, I would love to have the bulk of my dissertation research done before we have another kid. Plus, 2 kids under 2 (or really close to be under 2) is a scary - multiple diaper changes! But, I started thinking about being pregnant, the way Little T would probably love a baby being around to play with (she would probably be jealous too since I'm not sure she would really understand), the snuggles of a newborn and the smells of baby and all those baby things that Little T has grown out of. I was surprised at my feelings. We've talked about it and would love to be pregnant this time next year so yes, I'm starting to get baby fever.

Post Titles

I have a really hard time coming up with post titles...that is all.

Better?

I am starting to feel better! YAY! I was able to get a bit of dissertation work done yesterday (finding research and outlining and filling in holes for my lit review) so that is good. Other than that my week has consisted of me catching up on a few small things (family blog, wrapping a handful of presents, and so on) and sleeping and resting.

I've felt a bit useless (and very grateful) as Mr. T has run the household completely for a week. With me being home this feels weird since we distribute things pretty equally in our house. But I am really grateful that he is home this week to help.
