Wow. I can’t believe my maternity leave is up. 12 weeks on paper seems like a long time. If you told me that my next vacation was in 12 weeks, I’d think it was forever away! 12 weeks from the date of this blog is just before Christmas. I can’t decide if I should start…
What exactly DO you do on Maternity Leave?
I’m about to enter my last week of maternity leave and I can’t help but be sad about it. Can’t I just sit and watch Oscar all day until he’s like 10 months old and getting into everything? My sister, Michelle, and I were were agreeing how babies are so fun from about 3 –…
The Bruns’ Boys in Moving Picture Form
I realized it’s been a while since I’ve posted some vids of the boys. Come to think of it, Oscar has yet to make his moving picture debut on the blog. So, I am sharing two of the boys’ favorite things. Walt is quite the little golfer. So much so, that he is distracted from…
Oscar’s Room
Nothing like posting pics of Oscar’s nursery 2.5 months after he’s born 🙂 In truth, his room was actually 95% complete before he was born (miraculous, I know). Chris and I were literally hanging pictures just days before I went into labor. Probably the reason the nursery got back burnered for the blog was that…
My Little Allergy Man
As many know, we found out last summer that Walt is highly allergic to peanuts. While the incident that gave us the indication was super scary, I have to say it’s been a relatively easy thing to handle. Luckily food allergies seem to be more prominent (maybe we are just more educated??) so everyone around…
Oscar’s 2-Month Stats
This morning when I was getting ready, there was a spider in my bathroom. Not uncommon given we’re in a developing neighborhood and there’s farmland on one side of us. It doesn’t matter how many spiders I see. I am really ooged out by them and ALWAYS ask Chris to come to the rescue. I’m…
Oscar is Two Months Old!
Here we are. Already at another month milestone. This is my last “month birthday” while on Maternity Leave. I’m having a hard time believing this is coming to an end. We’ll truly be a busy little family of four in just a few short weeks. But, enough about that. Let’s talk about our little Oscar…
Walt at 2.5 Years Old
Walt’s half birthday came and went (it was a mere 2 weeks after Oscar was born). With all the monthly updates for him as a baby (and now all the Oscar updates), it’s only right to talk about what Walt is doing. While his milestones aren’t quite as monumental, I see him turning into a…
Oscar’s Sip n See
About 18 months ago we moved into a new house. The new neighborhood is just up the street from our old neighborhood. We really loved our old neighborhood (very family friendly, world’s best next-door neighbors, old neighborhood with mature trees (in Frisco, which is unheard of), excellent location, etc). But, we needed a bigger abode…
Oscar – One Month
I feel like Oscar and I deserve a medal. We have survived the first month, which is undoubtedly the toughest in terms of lack of sleep, schedule, idiosyncrasies, constantly feeding, etc. For as absolutely adorable as babies are, they don’t do a whole lot. So, the steady beat of feeding and not sleeping tends to…
