I'm seeing spots!

So I designed this room back in October but didn't actually do it until a month before Cohen was born.  But I love how it turned out and of course the girls do to!!!  Dan used his projector up on the walls to get the circles exactly in place and sized right.  And everything else I just free handed.  

There are supposed to be pink shelves hung above each bed, but clearly they are not put up yet.
And in case you don't know...the 'H' is for Haven and the 'M' is for Myah!!
Thanks Aunt Pam for their lovely tutu's.  Also, there is a theme of polka dots in the room, even their sheets are polka dotted.
So I saw something sort of like this at Pottery Barn with the fun kids art.  So I pulled out my canvas and went to work and did some painting and fun decoupage!  My favorite were the lady bugs I made out of old sheet music.
I was really excited about this wall for the girls.  I made this circle especially large to fit all the girls artwork on it.  They painted the center one, and then I got picture frames for them to put their favorite art pieces in there.  And the cool thing is that they can change them out when they want!
I loved the tree idea.  I had a really hard time deciding on the right colors but it turned out sweet!  I have a few ideas of what to do with the curtains but have yet to touch them.  
Yeah!!! I am so glad to see it actually on the walls and not in my head or on paper.  It is fun to see it turn out the way it did.

I love my little MAN child!!!

Cohen at 7 weeks old at Grandmas
Myah, Cohen (5 weeks) and Haven on the kitchen counter, just a usual spot for all three of them!
Sleeping on the kitchen counter. (7 weeks)

I love Cohen, he just makes me so happy!  Now that he is doing SOOO much better with his colic, he is like a regular baby, you know just cries when he is hungry, sleepy, and poopy.  I can't believe it has been two months already that's just crazy!  He is huge. YEAH.  He is only 2 months and weighs 13 1/2 lbs!  the girls didn't weigh that till they were 5 months old.  I've always wanted a big baby.  The girls do really good helping out too. Haven walks around the house with him. I know that seems really strange seeing a little person holding a much smaller person.  I feel like I am getting a hang of the 3 kids thing.  Some days I feel I've lost my mind but most of the time we are doing awesome!

Another CLEANSE....NOT!!

Okay so if you don't remember about my last cleanse, it was almost a year ago.  It was a liver cleanse for 8 weeks, basically I was Vegan and no sugars as well!  I know crazy but I felt great afterwards.  Well, now I have a son who started getting colic at 3 weeks.  So I did lots of research and come to find out that it has to do with the mother's diet (if you're breastfeeding).  So now I am back to eating like a bird for however long I plan to nurse the little dude.  Let me just tell you what I can't have...

DAIRY (none, zilch, nada, ZERO)!!
STRAWBERRIES
ORANGES
NUTS
SOY PRODUCTS
BROCCOLI
ANY OF THE PEPPER FAMILY (includes bell and regular old black pepper too!)
TOMATOES
RAW ONIONS (cooked or sauteed seem to be okay)
BEANS!

So great, for a Mexican food lover...there goes that out the door.  So then you ask yourself...what else is there to eat?  Well lucky for me I found a website www.drmelaniebee.org She is a natural path, and wrote a cookbook for moms with fussy babies!  YEAH ME! Still, you can only have so much rice milk and smoothies and cereal.  I also have to up my protein so I hunt for my meat right out back there are deer that are always back there anyway.  No, but I eat a lot of meat.  WEIRD.  Eggs are sort of fun, but no sauteing any thing in YUMMY butter or dumping on the cheese for my omelets.  

But I obviously really see the benefit in breastfeeding, and love the time I get to sit and relax and bond with my baby.  So if you are feeling like you have nothing in your cupboards or you are just hungry for something else...YA RIGHT.  I can list a gazillion things you CAN eat!  J/K, call me up and I can help you out.
