A Couple of Bellies, and THE NAME!


I realize these pictures are nearly the same, but I like the first one a little better, and the second one shows the bottom of my cute new dress.
I'm not overly fond of these pics, I look fatter and puffier than I did getting ready this morning. I'll blame it squinting and cocking my head. Not my passion for Little Debbie's Nutty Bars. It took me awhile to decide to do a new photo, since I didn't think I looked a whole lot different from the first one I took over the summer. But looking at them now, I guess I am bigger. (Boy I look awful)

My sister was wrangled into taking these when the kids and I went for a Let-someone- else-chase-them-around-outside visit. We would go out at home but A. we have a nest of yellow jackets right under the porch. Yellow jackets seem to sting/bite for the pure joy of it, so we are avoiding them.
And B. a certain little boy is faster at covering large expanses of land then his lumbering Mama, and he enjoys a good game of chase, so in we unfortunately stay. Unless Daddy is home, which he will be tomorrow.
And (drum roll please....) The Name is: Muffin.
Being an Anne Of Green Gables junkie, the name kinda makes me chuckle. So now you know, unless B. changes his mind. There are quite a few names I would have been happy with, but this is what he settled on, so he can be the one to come up with something else if he wants, I'm tired of thinking. (though I will give my opinion- can't risk it.)
That's it from the homestead, next week is going to be crazy busy, but I should be able to post, Dr's appt, ANOTHER ultrasound, my brothers wedding, yeah, I'll sleep good.
Tootles for now!
Bonnie
P.S. The more I look at these pictures I realized that what looks like a second (and third) chin is really just a shadow. Whew, a bit of relief.

Oh stop stop stop! You look WONDERFUL. Beautiful. And glowing! I wish we two could hang out together, what a pair we would make! ;-)

Sooooo...little bitty baby Rachel. That is lovely, as I am sure the girl will be too. I can't wait to 'meet' your Rachel! It won't be long now!

PS> I LOVE nutty bars. But-shhhh-don't tell anyone. ;-)

Um, you do not look awful, you look awesome! That is a cute dress. :-)

Looks like I may be done with the ultrasounds now, so enjoy seeing your little princess again!

See ya next week...

Davene said...

EJ said...

Bonnie! Wow, it's been so long, it looks like much has changed with your life since I last saw you!
And you look wonderful! I gotta ask this...did you make the dress? :)
Either way, it's cute...but does look like something you'd make as well!

New Mom said...

Adorable dress, you look so pretty! The part about giving your opinion-- "can't risk it" gave me a good laugh. I don't blame you-- what if he came up with Nellie Mae or something!

EJ said...

Btw, this is that long lost person you used to hang out with...like 10 years ago ;)
I just realized you might not know that E in EJ is Erica ;)

Bonnie said...

Thanks Chickies! I still think I look awful, but I'll swallow all your compliments cheerfully!

Rebecca- Me too!

Sarah- Woohoo- should we get an all dressed up picture?

Davene- I like it, though it took me a bit to warm up to it.

New Mom -EXACTLY!!!!!

Oh my goodness, Erica! How the heck are ya? Yeah things have changed just a bit since I last saw you. (How long has it been?)
I'm so glad you re-posted, I don't know if I would have figured it out. And thanks for stopping by!
Oh, and no I didn't make this dress.

I found Anna on Facebook, and was reading her blog and...then saw she had linked yours! I was like Woo hoo! BONNIE!

I'm not terribly surprised by how things have changed for you though! I'm doing well, living in No. VA now. Still in "computers", but volunteer with a fire department here. So, I stay pretty busy, not married, no kids (HA! probably not surprisingly!), but I do have a dog!
Unfortunately, I've pretty much lost contact with everybody but Sharon. Anyway, you should email me sometime ;)
