Biggest surprise … Seeing the “yes” on January 30th. Biggest stress … If I had to choose just one it would be the move. Favorite foods … Applesauce and cereal. Worst symptom … Tiredness which led to grumpiness. Best event … Easter in Olympia; a RoBo event. Books read … Pregnancy, Childbirth, and the Newborn, […]

This is the plan … Nigella Silhouettes by Amy Butler Designs But with these animal shapes from the Friendly Forest at Michaels What do you think?
Study: C-Section Rate Reaches New Record
32 percent! That’s a 1 in 3 chance of a c-section (which is considered a major surgery). The highest rate ever reported. This baffles me on so many levels … so I’ll let the article speak for itself. The article is originally from the New York Times report summarized on FitPregnancy this week. DISCLAIMER – […]
Spring Fashion
Between the bouts of sun and rainfall I’m beginning to get the drift … Spring is on the way. What better way to prepare for a new season than a wardrobe update! According to Yahoo! this morning there are officially a “top 6” every gal needs this season in the accessory category. Lucky for this […]
Easter Sunday
Mom, Dad, and Baby – Easter 2010
Before the World Knew
When my doctor confirmed our little one was on the way we decided to keep it kind of hush hush. I wanted to hear the heartbeat before Baby Bossio became public knowledge.

Since the gender won’t be revealed until baby’s birthday we have decided to be wide open with name ideas. Today we searched through 2 baby name books, front to back. Some of these are oldies we’ve been hanging on to, others we discovered just today! Feel free to comment on your favorite (or least favorite); […]
Shop ‘n Swap
Mom and I survived Baby Sale #1 … THE SHOP ‘N SWAP! It was last Saturday at the Great Wolf Lodge and we arrived at 7:30 am. You know, to get in line before the doors opened at 8 :) Upon entering we were a bit disappointed; I think we had imagined a smorgasbord of […]
Back Home
Dominic is back home after 6 months of spending 4 days/week in Olympia for work. He might not have a job because of it, but at least he is home where he belongs. Let’s pray he finds something new (and much less evil) before baby arrives. In the meantime, he’ll be packing our home and […]
