This pregnancy has gone by extremely fast. Too fast. I feel like my husband and I just found out that we were pregnant and now I am approximately three weeks away from welcoming our precious son into this world.

The Claws Came Out

The claws came out on this Angry Bear Mama Saturday night. After a long day, I FINALLY got to bed at about 11:00 that night. Woo hoo, partier, right? Uhhh no. The only partying this mama does these days is with imaginary tea, plastic cookies, an almost two year old and sweats. I was in […]
