Bad mom ALERT!!

Umm who took their 6 week old baby to see Kings of Leon at Jazz Fest this year?? Opps.
Being here with the baby I feel judged on a daily basis. A woman the other day said "wow you're brave bringing a tiny baby to New Orleans." Last week we walked down Bourbon street on a Saturday while everyone was partying it up...stroller on Borubon Street, bad mom alert :(

NOLA

How I love New Orleans!!! I'm living here with little Harlow and Jason till the end of June and this really is one of my favorite cities now. The food is incredible, the history and scenery are very entertaining.

Saturday we toured the aquarium, the Gulf fish were awesome, big sharks and humongous sea turtles. I could stand there and watch them swim by for hours. We pet the stingrays they were so sweet and easily frightened. I still cant believe Steve Irwin was killed by one.

We spent Sunday at the zoo in the pouring rain. We were both wearing flip flops and I was in a long tank dress, needless to say we were drenched and very muddy. But it was an adventure and the zoo was very charming, almost like a giant garden with exotic animals.

Harlow is 10 weeks as of yesterday, I still can believe how fast she's growing. I need to update this blog with some older pictures from her birth.

My little love bug is smiling away now.

30 weeks

Almost there...
I've spent the last two days writing thank you cards from my first shower up in northern california. Who knew it would be so much work just to write a little card

30 weeks

Almost there...
I've spent the last two days writing thank you cards from my first shower up in northern california. Who knew it would be so much work just to write a little card? Perhaps I'm over thinking each one, needless to say it's taking me forever.

Harlow's room is almost done, the bedding should arrive Friday. I can't wait to see it all put together.

My doctor's appointment is next Tuesday, I'm hoping to find out exactly which birth plan the doctor recommends. Most likely a c-section due to my back injury, but you never know he could still say yes to a natural birth.

My belly keeps growing, stretching, and pulling. I'm wondering how its possible it can stretch anymore then it already has and there's still two months to go.
