Day #6 – The Bigger Picture

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 […]

Vaccines, Part 4: Thoughts on Each Vaccine

It took me awhile to finish up these posts on vaccinations .. shame on me. What can I say? I got a little preoccupied with baby clothes, bedding and other fun stuff :)– We’ve yet to make our decision about vaccines. It seems that one moment I’m super confident that we aren’t going to vaccinate, […]

Day #5 – Daddy’s Ready

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. […]

Day #4 – Naptime

I adore the weekends for one particular reason … naptime. I’ve always loved naps, but truly, WHO HAS THE TIME? But, in an effort to slow down and physically/mentally prepare for baby I have tried to incorporate a few here and there. This Saturday and Sunday were prime examples. Both days I stopped the madness […]

Day #3 – First Comes Love, Then Comes Marriage

Watch that ticker go! Only 27(ish) days until baby arrives! Here is Day #3 of 30 Days to Baby … All this planning for baby has me reflecting on the previous Big Day in my life. My extraordinary, special, fantabulous wedding. You know, the day where I married my very own Prince Charming. I think […]

Day #2 – Who’s Boobs Are These?

It’s Day #2 in 30 Days to Baby! I’m sensing that these last few pregnancy posts are going to fly by … just like the last 9 months. My oh my! The last few weeks have been a whirlwind of emotion surrounding breastfeeding. I know alot of this comes from my OUT OF CONTROL pregnancy hormones, but […]

Day #1 – Overflowing with Hope

Have you noticed the ticker up top? The one counting down the moments until I hold my baby? Well, today kicks off “30 Days to Baby”! I am a big believer in the “GUESS DATE” instead of a due date, so 30 days is just an estimate, it could be 10 days … or 40! […]

Our Baby Mobile

Our baby mobile is finally ours!!! After much Craigslist searching on Dominic’s part and anguish on my part (I mean, we are mere days away from having a child and only had a 2-seater car until today) our family has a family-size car. I am brimming with excitment! It’s a 1999 Honda CRV. It is an […]

The Webster Technique: Pregnancy Chiropractic

I started seeing a chiropractor 3 weeks ago. I was pretty sure I was having sciatic nerve pain (no fun) and thought a chiro might be my best route in adjusting to my bigger pregnant self. I was absolutely right! There is no doubt I am bigger and the bump is more uncomfortable to move around, […]

Baby Gear, My oh my

I’ve tried to be a minimalist with baby “stuff”. Unfortunately, I don’t think I’m doing a very good job :( In the beginning I had planned to just get a large purse for my and baby’s things. But seeing how full my own purse gets I can’t imagine fitting in baby’s things too. So, yes, […]

New Name …

Dominic and I were near the State Capitol today for some of our maternity photo shoot. While there we passed by the Korean War Memorial. As with any list of names (movie credits, authors, event programs, etc.) I told Dominic, “Look for boy name options.” So he did. He scrolled the names of those we […]
