My Bitter Sweet Symphony....

    When I came up with the idea of having a Baby Week here on my blog I had envisioned beautiful, organized fun posts everyday but it has now turned into an emotional journey for me which is not as fun anymore. The mistake I made was to incorporate my personal journey which has been very treacherous into my posts and viewing all those photos of yesteryear brings a flood of mixed emotions..

 As many of you know, this blog started off because I wanted to get out of my sometimes stagnant role of being JUST a mom and finally taking care of myself, indulging in things that I like, but strangely enough, it always come back to being a mom... What can I say? It truly is a significant part of my life.. I have learned to live my life as authentic as I possibly can and that sometimes means taking a halt when I feel like things may be a little off balance, regrouping then returning...

I am also going through the "self healing' process of freeing from self blame of autism and because I am feeling so much better about our situation with our boys, I have also found myself trying to push too hard and too fast as if I was told a secret that the world was coming to an end by the end of this year. However, what I fail to understand is that 8 years of sadness can not be over come in one year.. I have to slow down, be less of a "Mary Katherine Gallagher" and more of a "Maya Angelou"...(hope you caught that analogy) ...hehehe.. So occasionally I may take little breaks from the baby depot and speak of other cool stuff then return to the baby talk.....Please be patient with me....Hey.. it should quite frankly take nine months to finish "Baby Week" ..right..hahaha.. Ok.. now that I have gotten this off my chest, I could proceed....

                                                      
                                                                  OK

GASP!!!! I can't believe I forgot to mention this.... one of the first things that you should do after you have confirmed you are pregnant and given a possible due date by your doctor, the minute you get home and the shock begins to wear out, you should create an account on one or if you have OCD all of those websites like I did.. :-)

Cute little Alligators..

My Logi Bear (Logan) is outgrowing his 2nd pair of Crocs..

Brandy (Brandon) is now wearing Dylan's outgrown pair..

and
Dy-Dy ( Dylan) needs a new pair..

It should be illegal for adults to wear bright colored Crocs (Sorry Chef Batali)

.... but they are the cutest on kids... Best Shoe invention for kids EVER. ( I am a Reef girl though). They rarely, if ever wear out, don't pop, are quick to slip on, great in water, cleans easily...
I went to purchase for the boys and found the most adorable new styles..

Too cute!!

The Shower without Water....

... I have never had a baby shower... Never ....ever..... It's either no one loved me or perhaps were intimidated by how picky I am when it comes to what I buy for myself, kids or how hard it is to surprise me because I am nosey and always want to know "why"(you could ask my poor husband).. Like Oprah, I hate surprises but love surprising people....So when it came time to shop for my first, I had pages and pages and magazines and magazines of STUFF... I went crazy.. he had to have the best... best stroller, best car seat, best diaper bag.. best clothes... best bottles etc..
But before I get to the list of my favorite baby items of all times. One thing I think I am fairly o.k at is throwing a party.... under my circumstances with my children, I think I do a decent job at decorating and setting up, so I would love to show you some ideas and photos of the most beautiful baby showers ever. Whether you are throwing your own shower of perhaps you are going to throw one for someone, you could gather some inspiration from the proceedings...

GEEEESSSS!!!!!!... I think I have morning sickness after creating this post..... My tummy is fluttery at all those "pweety" shower themes... I need to do this for a living... Hope you enjoyed..:-)
