12 on 12

I follow a blog who did this on the 10th. (10 on 10)

And I thought it was such a cool idea!!

Apparently other bloggers do this (on the 10th) but I have never seen it before.

I wanted to join in on the fun but I knew that if I waited until next month, 

it would be a long lost idea!

"The object is to take a picture for ten twelve consecutive hours on the tenth twelfth of the month.

The purpose is to find the beauty in ordinary moments in our life."

So here we go!

(my pictures were taken within the hour rather than on it, starting around 9ish-- with my phone) 

Breakfast:

Oatmeal, jellied toast, a banana, and of course-- chocolate milk.

Playing around:

in his monkey hat

Bath time:

but mostly play!

Nap time:

on the way to Dr Deem's office

 

 Drinking my glucose:

for my 26 week appointment.

[In a pair of glasses that my husband and mom absolutely hate!]

I had gained another 7lbs (I gained 8 at this one with Maddox)

...bringing my total weight gain to 19lbs. 

(the EXACT same total weight gain at this point with Maddox)

Lets cross our fingers that I only gain 5 more and then lose 4 before birth just like I did with Maddox too!

...Or I'll gain another 19-- who knows!!! 

My blood pressure was perfect and my baby's heart rate was 142.

Lunch:

at Chilis

Maddox woke up after my appointment and the first thing out of his mouth was 

"Chili's is my favorite!"

He kind of trumped my craving for a Potbellies sandwich or Mimi's quiche and buttermilk spiced muffin.

 Academy:

There was a line going out the door and along the sidewalk in the freezing temperatures.

Apparently the TX Rangers were there signing autographs.

I was thankful that Maddox is only 2 and couldn't ask to wait in that line.

(just yet anyway!)

This is a picture of "Handy Manny and his gril", and where they waited while mommy pottied!

 

 Radio Shack:

Where I (once again) traded in my old Iphones for credit!

Last time I went in to make the trade, I was on call that night.  I found out that I could only buy a new phone through our government agent so I would have had to drive an hour home, find a phone that worked well enough to use that night-- and for the next 3-5 days-- until my new phone came in the mail.

So I had them refund me, and I went home.

Today, he originally gave me $160 for both (just like the other man did last time) and then a "helpful" co-worker decided that it fell into another category, due to a tiny crack where you plug in the charger, decreasing its value to $6.

I just kept the second phone.

But not without resentment!

Birthday card to my father-in-law:

Inside we officially shared our baby's name, as a birthday present to him.

Beckham Harold Erwin

(he was given my FIL's middle name)

Dinner:

At Dos Chili's with my husband's side of the family.

And these yummy cupcakes that my SIL brought from Brownie Points as dessert!

(Lance vomited in the parking lot before we went in, hopefully because his stomach hurt and not because he is thinking about changing the name on me once again!!)

8:00

When I typically go on call on Wednesday nights.

Thankful, that this month my partner Chanda picked up a few more days of call.

Meaning, that tonight --- I am off!

12th hour::  

Logging onto Blogger, ready to post this blog.

EXCITED to see that part of my New Year goal is coming true!
A new blogger friend-- within a community of blogging buddies!!

Nice to meet you Nicolle!

I've read through a few of your blogs and I can't wait to follow your blogging journey! 

(If I didn't scare you away by making you the highlight of hour 12?!!)
