finding beauty, confidence, and rest in motherhood
So, this is a week late which means I might not remember much, but hey … I’m doing my best to keep up with this whole pregnancy journal thing :)Last Monday was our 25(ish) week appointment at Andaluz. We met with Lucina and her apprentice, Lindsey who will both be attending our birth. Lucina is […]
I’m sensing that I am quickly falling into the crunchy mama category :) Crunchy like granola which is a good thing, right? Check out the other Crunchy Mamas this week with Wonder and Wander’s Crunch Hop!
I’m attacking the bear that is vaccines. Unchartered territory for this mama! So far I plan to read The Vaccine Book by Dr. Sears. Haven’t started yet, but it is high on my list of things to do. Review the Danish Childhood Vaccination Schedule which my sister recommended. Attend a vaccination education class being offered […]
It has been quite a busy week off of work … here is a picture recap. We celebrated Mom’s birthday with a fabulous dinner and homemade red velvet cupcakes from the family chef. We love holiday meals (in actuality we love every meal) with Hannah! Hannie made the best BBQ corn with veggie steak quinoa […]

I’m part of a Yahoo! group specific for the moms who have babies at Andaluz. It has been such a great resource for product reviews, ailments and everything else mama/baby related. I started an e-mail folder for things I think I might need to know down the road (kind of vague, but you know those […]
Baby has been kicking around for quite some time now. I think I felt the first flutters around 16 weeks. Now, baby has quite the legs and is kicking like crazy! In honor of the World Cup, Dominic felt our little one’s movement for the first time last week (at 24 weeks). Baby must have […]
After a long weekend of making our house a home we are finally putting on the finishing touches. We have a sweet, little cradle camping out in the corner of the living room … just waiting for our baby’s arrival.
Baby’s Uncle Anton has been on the safety watch. This morning he forwarded a crib recall announcement to Dominic so we could make sure our crib was safe. Before we got our crib I checked all the recall notices and we were good to go. Unfortunately, 2 days ago our Simmons crib was recalled :( […]
