Decapitated Duck And A Mother's Dream

The other day I am reading my friend Liz's blog, Designing Domesticity. She is showing us just how easy it is to put together a gorgeous succulent display and she places it right on her coffee table. It looks great. What does this have to do with a duck and his poor head you ask? 

For most of you, without small children, placing something on your coffee table wouldn't give you a second thought. But for me I have been dreaming of the day when this will be possible. And Liz, I know has a three year old little girl. 

Maybe I have miss judged my boys. Maybe I should just give it a try. Ok, so I go and find this little wooden duck. It isn't a plant but let's start slowly. Even if they pick it up it is sturdy enough, right? 

Wrong.

The duck only survived an hour in my house. Poor duck. 

I glued his head back on and now he is on the top of the bookcase with everything else.  

A girl can dream.

Baby and Life Updates

So this is me at 20 weeks along... I'm now at almost 23 weeks and pretty much looking the same. Baby Josiah is kicking around like crazy. I swear he thinks he's a ninja and he's trying to kick his way out! This baby seems to be a lot more active in my belly than the last 2.... Or maybe I've just forgotten what it was like when they still have lots of room to swim around.

As far as weight gain
