Comparing Doctor Visits and A SURPRISE From Cal!

Before Gwyneth’s first doctor appointment where she was to receive shots, I was a nervous wreck. I did as much research on reactions to vaccines and pain relief as I could, and I pretty much planned the whole day around this horrible event. I also had a very sick feeling in my stomach. I dressed […]

Baby Cal Turns Two… Months!

Already two months old! And I LOOOOOOVE these smiles!!! They make waking up in the night worth it. Okay, no. They don’t. I lied. Yes, they’re very cute… but I would prefer sleep right about now. “Posing for these pics makes me want to hurl.” “Hiya!” “Peek-a-boo!” “What, not cute!?” “Two months… no big whoop.” […]

Happy 2nd Birthday, Sweet Gwyneth!

Our baby girl is two. TWO! Looking back at her journey through life, I choke down a lump in the back of my throat as the tears well in my eyes. Every time. It almost kindof hurts. Granted I have just had a (nother) baby and am still extremely emotional, but my goodness, these tears […]

This Mama Needs a New Set of Wheels!

The Hubby and I went car shopping last weekend because two carseats, a diaper bag, and a double stroller just leave NO extra room in our Altima for anything else. Adding in groceries, especially dog food into that mix, was quite the puzzle. We knew we wanted a small SUV going into the day’s adventure, […]
