Nursery Inspiration

With Gwyn and Cal, we had their rooms complete by this time in the pregnancy, so not having done ANYTHING in this baby’s nursery has me feeling a little anxiety and guilt. But, because I have two very different visions for the room depending on whether we have a boy or a girl, I just […]

Those First Day of School Mama Tears

I didn’t think it would happen to me. I thought we’d be bouncing into her classroom with all smiles and giggles and she’d be asking us to leave. We were READY! But that’s not how it went. On the morning of Gwyneth’s first day of Kindergarten she was excited, compliant, and excited to get all […]

Bumpdate: Week 30

How Far Along: 30 weeks. That feels SO…. far along. I am in my 30’s. Wow. Symptoms: I actually feel like I am further along, physically. My jogs have turned into fast walks and even those I am thinking may need to cease. I was on one the other day and my whole belly started cramping. Kind-of […]

Life Lately

After The Hubby was gone for 17 days… YES… I SAID 17, I was just about done-in for. But counting down the days to his return kept me going, as did watching the full series of One Tree Hill. I am embarrassed to admit this. But yes, my evenings were filled with teenage drama which […]

Bumpdate: Week 28- Hello 3rd Trimester!

How Far Along: 28 Weeks! HOW am I already in my third trimester? Time is flying! Symptoms: I am starting to get a little sore on my morning jogs. I shouldn’t even call them jogs anymore. They are more like wobbles. Imagine a big, I dunno, gorilla trying to run carrying her baby on her tummy at […]
