lately

st. patricks fun. green breakfast and a leprechaun trap before bed.



malcom lost his first tooth just before church two weeks ago! the tooth fairy was extra creative/generous... so obviously i wasn't involved at all. i fell asleep on the couch and completely forgot. whew.

dying eggs for FHE-- getting a head start just in case things get hectic real soon...






ready to wrap this mother up. on monday dilated to 4 and 80% effaced. tomorrow night i'm going start jumping on the tramp in preparation for an april fools baby, please.
