How far along: 25 weeks, 2 days Gender: A little man, and I think we’ve narrowed down a very top name pick! Jemma has owned it so much that she is announcing it to everyone … our grocery checker, Awanas leader, midwife. Weight gain: I gained 7 pounds in the last month :/ I’m blaming the Costco box of Lucky […]
I’m slow to process meaningful events in my life. Molasses slow. Breastfeeding is one such event, well, experience. Hence, this post has been in my drafts since late Winter when I first started to night wean Max. He had just turned 2 1/2 and I felt like it was time. For him and for me. Not […]
This past weekend Dominic and I went out on a movie date (Owen Wilson’s No Escape, totally not a normal Owen film I might add). After, we found ourselves at Applebee’s. We haven’t been in ages, but it holds fond memories for us because late nights at “The Bee’s” were a regular occurrence during our […]

How far along: 21 weeks, 4 days Gender: It’s a boy! I have officially guessed wrong with every child! Weight gain: Plus 10 pounds. Works for me. Sleep: I finally got consistent with taking my mag calm and it’s doin’ wonders for me in the sleep department. Best moment this week: A healthy as pie ultrasound! So relieved to hear […]
Yes! It’s true … a healthy BABY BOY is on his way to our family!
My first son and darling mama’s boy turned three yesterday. THREE! He woke up with a beaming smile and requests for snuggles as he always does, but still, he looked bigger, more mature and somehow it seemed his vocabulary had grown. For him, three must mean an increase in words, emotions and, of course, love. Multiple […]
We didn’t find out what we were having when I was pregnant with Jemma. I honestly don’t know how I kept myself from finding out! With Max, we were in the middle of moving so we found out he was a boy so I would know if I needed to take Jemma’s baby clothes to […]
