TTLY Blake’s debut

To conclude the TTLY series, it was at this exact moment one year ago that Stu took this, the first, video of Blake.  He weighed 8lb 11oz.  He had the biggest mouth I’ve ever seen when he screamed.  And still, to this day when he smiles, he opens that mouth up huge.  It’s the greatest, most … Continue reading »

TTLY Blake’s 1st Birthday!

This is what a person can turn into after almost 4 hours of trying to push a baby out and no painkillers.  If you think I’m bragging, I am.  I totally earned that right, even though none of this was on purpose.  It was a terrifying night, and talking about it this morning, we both … Continue reading »

TTLY Labor Day 3

If you’re only reading sporadically and not really keeping up (RUSSELL RANSBARGER), here’s an explanation for TTLY. This is the last video we took because we didn’t know that things were about to get ugly.  So so so so ugly.  I believe it was about 2 hours from this video that I was in full … Continue reading »

TTLY Labor Day 2

More waiting.  I saved you a couple videos of us discussing contractions.  Blahblahblah.  This one is funny because we thought the epidural would be here soon and we would get to…wait for it…SLEEP!  hahahahaha!  whew.  funny.  I was actually asking Daina to bring my pillow and blanket.  Silly silly parents to be.

TTLY Labor Day 1

Stu and I got nostalgic this morning.  This day last year, I went into labor with this big ‘ol hunk that is trying to eat leaves off my patio right now.  Mom and Daina had gotten in the night before, and little did we know how grateful we would be to have them!  Stu and … Continue reading »

TTLY

Getting away from ranting and debating, we return to our previous theme, TTLY.  We didn’t video every single day, so we have some breaks every now and then.  This one is especially flattering of me.  Pregnancy tends to lose it’s “glow” sometime around the 39th week.

My hero TTLY

If you haven’t been keeping up, look a few blogs back to see the explanation for this rash of videos.  Besides that we were different emtionally, this time last year I was 9 months pregnant and my feet were 3 times their normal size.  Stu is pretty mortified by this one, when really, it’s me … Continue reading »

TTLY

Wow, this one’s pretty dull, but keeping with the theme, this is what we were doing this time last year.  On yesterday’s, I thought it was funny that I was all offended that Brenda bet I would have Blake on October 18th (he was born on the 17th).  In every one, I’m sure that I’m … Continue reading »

TTLY

Not talk to ya later.  The title stands for “this time last year”.  In one of my insomniac nights, I found the videos we took when we first got our video camera last year in anitcipation for Blake’s birth.  Because the whole thing was new and novel (the camera and the pregnancy), we took some … Continue reading »
