sweating and timelines


We came home from our trip to find a house that's practically finished! It just needs appliances, carpet upstairs, brown paint on the front door and touchup paint inside. We're closing on August 11th, 22 days! Carter and I went to see it today. The heat outside is miserable.

I started using a different camera lens - which clearly (or not so clearly) needs practice. But I like those focused stones.

Matt likes this baby maple they planted in front. I'm kinda undecided. I feel like it looks a little raggedy/hairy-ish. Does that make any sense?

There are pretty, dark wood floors underneath that protective paper he's standing on. But who cares about floors when you have a face like that looking up at you?

As for IVF, ordering the drugs got all screwed up since I didn't have a phone in France, and apparently email fell through. So the start date for the shots is next Thursday. You know you have a crazy life when you're excited to stick a needle in your stomach fat!

For anyone wondering, I did shut down my Formspring account yesterday. It was getting to be a dumping ground for anonymous, obnoxious comments; I got tired of reading it. I did love the kindness though! Always feel free to leave comments here or email me questions rMeghann@me.com.

Here's my current fav cell phone photo from yesterday - two obsessions in one shot!

  10. Hey Meghann. The house is looking great. I bet you can't wait to move in now! I'd be so excited knowing I was the only person to ever live in a house. The new ones they build over here are usually tiny or mega bucks!!
    Very exciting about the IVF but a shame you have had to leave it another week.
    As for Formspring, I did wonder. It's a shame you had some mean comments on there and I don't blame you for closing it. x

  12. Hey Meghann,
    Love your videos and your blog, I check it almost every day.

    I was clicking ads online and found this one clothing/nik-nak website and a couple of the dresses remind me of your style and the pics I have seen of you. Maybe you will like it! (I don't work for them or anything so if you dont...it's all good, lol)

    The website is:

    Good luck with your new house and your growing family!!

  18. @Glitterbug thanks! yeah not only was formspring getting too negative, but i was feeling guilty not having the time to answer all the questions & didn't want anyone feeling like their questions didn't matter to me.

  19. @Amy W. he's been doing all kinds of new stuff since my mom gave him back to us, i think it's good for him to spend time with another person & have a different way of learning :)
