Gwyneth’s Birth Video :)

This was one of the best gifts I have ever received. I cherish nothing more than memories…. and since I have a HORRIBLE memory myself, pictures and videos rock my world. There is nothing graphic, I promise. 🙂 While Gwyneth’s birth is still so fresh in my mind, I have (slightly) forgotten the work it […]

Boy, I am one emotional pregnant lady. This is the second time this week that I have broken down. And this time it was from a dang TV show! And I am a little embarrassed to admit that the TV show was Desperate Housewives. One of the housewives’ husbands, who was an all-around great husband, […]

Strange Eating Habits

My eating habits have changed dramatically since having a child. First, I used to sit down for a meal. Like, at an actual table with CHAIRS. Second, all parts to my meal would be on the plate at once, and I would even have a coordinating beverage. Lastly, I would eat my meal, uninterrupted, until […]

Hormones and Sister Wives

I sit here in a puddle of tears as my darling daughter naps in her bed, trying to compose myself. I don’t exactly know what sparked these emotions, but I can’t get them to stop.

Our Mommy-Daughter Weekend

I tend to create scenarios in my mind, and then become incredibly disappointed when they don’t pan out as planned. Something I need to work on. The last couple months have been pretty busy with baby showers, mini trips, visiting family, check lists, etc., but this past weekend was free until I marked it down […]

But then we found out we were having a boy, and the possibility that this could be my last pregnancy crossed our minds, and I suddenly wanted to remember. Remember what it was like to carry around our children for 9 (Really 10!) months at a time. […]

The To-Do List

I haven’t packed my “bag” yet. You know, the one you’re supposed to have packed a month before your due date? It has been on my “to-do” list for weeks… and now it’s one of the last four things on my list. I think I have waited so long to do it because I feel […]

Little Man’s Completed Nursery!!!

We are finally done with Little Man’s room! Honestly, it’s been done for a few weeks now, but I didn’t feel like it was truly “done” until all clothes were washed and every little detail was in place. What makes this room so special to us are all of the family ties throughout the whole […]

Little Man’s Nursery Projects

These are a few finished DIY projects that I, or people that love me, have either made because I couldn’t find what I was envisioning, or because I didn’t want to pay for it! I purchased wooden crates and an AWESOME old window pane at an antique store with the intention of using them as […]

The Perfect Babymoon

We made it back from Seattle sans Baby Boy. Hooray! I did get quite a few Braxton Hicks contractions on the drive home and had to lay my seat back, but that was it as far as baby excitement. Whew! Our Babymoon was an absolute blast. We did everything on my hope list, and then […]
