At the end of Dr. Hoffmann-Smith’s vaccination class he gave parents 8 questions to help prevent vaccine reactions. I felt like this was really helpful information since I think we’ll end up pursuing some of the recommended vaccines.

This has nothing to do with pregnancy. You know why? I’m feeling a touch tired of being pregnant. Definitely ready to meet this little one. Not that I am rushing things. I want the bun to be done and will somehow convince myself to be patient. But still, can’t time pick up a bit?I found […]
Lots of countdowns happening … baby and my birthday! 23 days to baby which made me think, I’m not going to be 23 for very much longer. Also, I might be a 23 year old mom or a 24 year old mom … all depends on when baby decides to arrives in relation to October […]

Only 25 days to go! Is that really possible? This morning as our alarms went off Dominic rolled over and said, “Soon our alarm will be a baby and we won’t have to listen to these crazy alarm songs.” OMG, he’s right! It is really easy to get tied up in all the little things when […]

Recently I found … She Breathes Deeply and The Mommyhood Memos They are now part of my daily reads. Good stuff … check them out :) She Breathes Deeply recently answered […]
Five days into my 30 Days Until Baby posts. That is 1/6 of the month. Time doesn’t have breaks! Dominic is chomping at the bit … he is ready for this baby to be here! For example … Friday night … well, Saturday morning … 3 am. He starts patting the bed all around me. […]
