Life With Livy

Matt is starting a movie of little randomness of Livy. This is just the start but it's so freakin cute. I can't wait to see the whole thing when it's done. He has big plans for his first film. Actually, this is his second, if you recall the one he made for Drewbee when he was first on his mish.

My horn can pierce the sky!

That would be an Office reference FYI. Also, Livy started recording this video by herself, which is why it's so hilarious to us. And this has been her outfit of choice lately. Thank you Costco for providing us with HILARIOUS entertainment for only $10. Also, I wish you could be on this end watching Livy watch herself. Everytime she watches it she laughs SO HARD. She thinks she's HILARIOUS. I love it.

The baby is a...

BLOB! A total blob. But I wasn't expecting to see it today and it was a pleasant surprise to find out I was. Although, it was not quite a pleasant surprise to find out we had to do a VAGINAL ultrasound to see the little sucker... (I hope that made Jefferson puke.)

Also, I got too lazy to use the scanner and I just took a picture of the picture in photobooth - but yeah the head is at the bottom, the white part is the face (I think). And the bum is at the top. Can I just tell you how reassuring it was to see the baby? Matt thinks I'm crazy, but this whole time waiting for this appointment - I kept thinking - what if there's no baby and something CRAZY is happening to me or the baby isn't doing too well in there and I'm about to miscarry... ANYWAY, all of these crazy thoughts are racing through my mind until she pulled the little blob up and there was this teeny tiny thing in there beating! I loved it! Matt and I were pretty speechless even though it's our second time around. I broke the silence by asking him if he wanted to cry. He said no, but I think he was ready to shed a tear.

Anywho, I love love love my new doctor - Dr. Haskins. She's hilarious! And not like trying to make a joke every second, she's just way sarcastic. She's trying to help me have a successful VBAC but she's not afraid to tell me all of the risks and is ready to talk some sense into me if it becomes too dangerous.

Also, crazy fact: Your brain shrinks when you're pregnant! What?!?! Totally true, it was confirmed by the doc today. After her whole presentation of the information overload, she asked if I had any questions that I brought with me today. I sat there for a second and I was like, "Yeah! Does your brain shrink?" And she laughed and said yes! Then she told me to read Expecting Adam - she said preggos are capable of some creepy stuff!

Oh yeah, the kid... so it's measuring right on time. It looks like our due date is Feb. 26, 2010. It's so crazy that I'm about to become a legit mommy!

In other news...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, KY!!! My littlest bro. turned 13 today, woo!!!!! So each sticker has a reason.

• The tiara: an ongoing joke between Kyler and Matt (something about Ky catching gay in the womb...).
• The kiss: because Livy wishes she could give him a big open mouthed slobbery kiss for his b-day.
• The danger sign: teenagers are dangerous and crazy.
• The present: represents the present that we got for him that is "in the mail."
• The 13: pretty self-explanatory.
  

I love this picture, but it really doesn't describe their relationship. Livy adores this kid. I made him be the acting parent when he came out here. He was responsible for getting her in and out of her carseat and for taking care of her pretty much the whole week. Livy absolutely loved it! She get's super excited every time she sees him on video chat.

Long post, the end! Hail Doofania!

Happy happy happy happy happy anniversary!

Celebrate good times, come on!

It's official! We have been married for 3 years. Congratulations everyone. A lot of things have changed over the last 3 years, but most of the time we still feel like these little kids just playing house.

It has been a great ride and we are so lucky to have this crazy kid to keep things interesting.

Dear Alexis,

I love you so much! Thanks for everything you do for me and Livy and future baby. I have loved these last 3 years and I look forward to at least 3 more! Woo!

Love,
Matthew Edward Wiseman I

Livy lives to eat, she doesn't eat to live...

The last couple weeks have been CRAZY around here. Everything has seemed to be non-stop. But, good news! We're in our duplex and it's GINORMOUS! Pictures will follow soon, I'm just lacking in the motivation department - this baby is really taking everything out of me. Hopefully that will change soon since I'm freaking in the second trimester!! I'm not bitter...

Anyway, our little bugger is 16 months old! ONLY TWO MORE MONTHS UNTIL NURSERY! Woo! I've been wanting to catch this crazy kid eating on camera. She has started to make crazy faces when she get's excited - it's so cute!

Livy's First Braids! Oo Oooooo! (Amy Pohler Style)

Today I set out to french braid Livy's hair, which I know, was quite a lofty goal - but it was an S-U-C-C-E-S-S!!! I was so freaking excited! It took quite the tricks to get her to stay still - Carmex, weird lotion, a cup of water (?), an otter pop, and Tigger and Pooh playing in front of her. It was definitely a group effort, but she did really well! And I was pulling tight! I figure I'll get her use to the abuse now so that she doesn't cry about it at like 5. They were so cute though! It made her look so old! Ah! My baby is totally getting huge.

So after I did her hair I doused it with hair spray about once ever 10 minutes, for about 2 hours. Unfortunately, right before chuch she pulled one of them, but we were able to recover. And they actually lasted through church! Woo!
