St. Louis wedding photographer Nicole Welch

1. Last week, Aidan had to bring in Valentine’s cards for his class. And he had to write his own name. This would have been fine, except Aidan goes for extended day, too, so he had to have enough for 2 classes. That means 32 cards. That means writing his name 32 times. We tried REALLY hard to start early, and we did. We went with 3 a day – that was all he could handle until he got bored. Mommy confession of the week: I filled out many of them myself. Don’t judge me. Please?!

2. If you didn’t already catch this in another post, I have decided to cloth diaper baby Welch #2. I’m not sure when that decision came about. Probably just in the last 2 months. Anyway, my favorite cloth diapering store, Cotton Babies, (which is local for all you STL people) has a really great campaign going called Change 3 Things: A Cloth Diaper Revolution. Basically it’s a challenge to ALL parents to commit to 3 cloth diapers per day, saving the environment from a bazillion disposables in the landfill and keeping a little moolah in your pocket. Win-win.

3. Found this in my Google Reader today. Totally made me feel better about myself. Hooray for keeping things real.

4. Albums have started to come in this week. I’ll have a blog post in the next day or 2! I love showing off beautiful albums.

5. About 6.5 weeks until my due date. FREAKING. OUT.

6. Aidan is obsessed with superheros and My Little Pony. Great combination, if I do say so myself…Although I’m partial to MLP.

7. I’m thinking about starting a weekly wedding tips post…If there’s anything you would like a photographer’s perspective on, please shoot me an email!

8. My sister is having baby #7 next week. EEEEEEKKKK. Another boy. So many boys everywhere!

9. I’m really hoping the Cardinals wrap up this Pujols deal. The Cards would NOT be the same without him.

10. Loving this warmer weather. Enough said.

And because a blog post is more fun with a photo: here’s Aidan’s surprised face. Love that guy.
