14 days! That’s only 2 weeks. That’s only 2 weekends. Holy moly … we’ve got a baby coming!My husband is the greatest … especially on the weekends. Last night, as I was rattling off our weekend to do list he said, “Wow, my weekends are busier than my work week.” Luckily, he said it with […]
Some of my coworkers are betting that I won’t come back to work on Monday. With 16 days still to go … I’m pretty sure I will, but tonight is a full moon. So who really knows!?!?! During my junior year of high school I went on a trip with church to Brazil. I specifically […]
Someday. Someday I hope to get my craft on like Indiana Adams. Oh my word, this girl has crazy talent! Help us reach the first page on … it only takes 2 clicks and you can vote once each day! Baby (and mama) send lots of love and thanks your way :)
Almost to the 1/2 way mark … 17 days into 30 Days to Baby. Wowser. Words aren’t quite flowing today. We had a dear family friend pass away and I feel a bit wrecked. So, these are the few random updates that come to mind: I ate a buffalo burger for dinner last night. First time […]

Ah, yes. The joy of weekly appointments. You know what that means? Baby will be here sooner rather than later :) No real news to report. Still growing (both baby and I). Blood pressure, pulse, baby’s heartbeat and placement (left occiput anterior to be exact) all look good. Left Occiput Anterior PositionPhoto credit Only tragedy […]
