finding beauty, confidence, and rest in motherhood
I met with Lucina yesterday for my monthly appointment. It went smooth as butter … baby is growing, I’m healthy, and we’re gearing up for the next milestone – OUR ULTRASOUND! Highlights of my appointment: I was scolded for wearing such high heels … they were just wedges, but I was encouraged to make the […]
My sister, M’Lissa, has been a mom for a little over a year now to my sweet nephew, Bishop. This girl has done her research and knows what she is talking about when it comes to baby necessities. So, naturally, I’m thrilled about her recommendation of Baby Bliss Gripe Water. Gripe Water is a herbal […]
I’m pretty tickled by all of you awesome advice about baby necessities. I would much rather rely on your mama wisdom instead of the registry recommendations. Keep the ideas coming as I’m going to start a “Mama Must Haves” section to feature things you suggest. If you have an idea, just e-mail me here!
Minus the random giraffe, isn’t this a super sweet nursery set? In the very least I might order the changing table cover.
See the orange and purple “ExpectNet.com” button to the right?You should click it … you can enter your guess on boy/girl, birthday, weight, height, and birth time. After the birth you just might be announced the winner! How cool would that be?
Ok, that might be going a bit far, but in the very least the stuff related to having a baby is simple. For a good part of my childhood I believed I was born in the wrong century. I truly thought I was meant to be a pioneer. I lived in the woods and had […]
I’m becoming quite forgetful. I have resorted to e-mailing myself reminders … Oh my!
For Mother’s Day we met up with JanMom and MarlonDad for church and lunch … afterwards we rallied at the Lacamas Creek Trail Head for a Morris Clan walk/hike. As we all know, I am not an outdoorsy girl. It was rough to don my hiking gear (AKA – the only pair of shorts I […]
Little reality check here … I’M GOING TO BE A MOM!!! Nothing like trying to grasp my pending motherhood. Today was one of the days that helped to piece it all together. I was told “Happy Mother’s Day” over and over and I’m sure I responded with some puzzled looks. Then I realized, wow, they […]
I’m not a very patient person. It makes you wonder how on earth I am sticking with this whole “we’re not finding out the baby’s gender”. I know, I don’t get it either. Back to the story of my non-patience … we’re bidding on an UppaBaby stroller on eBay. I’m trying not to think about […]
Yesterday we drove out to Beaverton to check out the highly recommended baby store, Segal’s. They had an amazing showroom of nursery furniture, bedding, supplies, clothes, strollers, and our sought after item … carseats. We got a great amount of info on Graco, Peg Perego, and Chicco carseats. These have been our focus since they […]
