I get so overwhelmed with the thought of writing this birth story that I’ve started and stopped (in my head, at least) half a dozen times or more. Do I make it funny? Heartfelt? Serious? All of the above? Can I adequately encompass all the emotions I went through on Monday? Have gone through during […]
What We Did This Week, Week 1
Since Dan bought me a new camera, I figured the least I can do is use it. I may not know HOW to use it–yet–but I can certainly turn the thing on and take some pictures in Auto and then use Picasa to do light color correcting, right? Sometimes we do interesting things during the […]
A morning with my boy
I always struggle with whether or not I should send Joshua to daycare when I’m home on a break. I feel like such a slacker mom, but I know that he loves his school and his friends and I do love being able to sleep and get things done. Last night as we were driving […]
The first of many countdowns
My Fridays are dotted with emails and iPhone notifications that New Girl is growing. And in doing that growing, we’re all growing closer to her arrival. Fridays are my “turn days” where I advance from one week of pregnancy to the next. Today, I’m 24 weeks pregnant. In so many ways I feel completely unprepared […]
Already?
Here’s a smattering of the goings on in our house lately: Shoes. In the middle of the floor. Because that’s where Joshua is when he wants to take them off and that’s where they stay when he DOES take them off. As well as socks. And speaking of shoes, the child has an opinion about […]
Going back
The day that test came up positive, I formed a bullet list in my mind of the things I wanted to do before the new baby arrived. Things we should’ve done as a family of three and either couldn’t afford or didn’t take time to do. Now that we’re on a short supply of time […]
A Small Moment
Last week I got an email from Nichole at In These Small Moments (seriously? how good is that About Me page, people??) asking me to guest post in her Small Moment Mondays series. I was giddy. I did not know that Nichole reads this blog! So to find out that she reads AND wanted to […]
Blogcation
Hi! Hope y’all don’t mind that I took the weekend to have a little Blogcation. I mean, I figure if there’s ever a time for me to take a blogcation is a long weekend where people are more interested in blowing things up and celebrating our freedom than, say, some random other time. (Though, if […]
That peaceful, easy feeling
I sat down in front of the computer twice yesterday evening to write about my day. To talk about how much I enjoyed it. How much I needed it. And every time I couldn’t find the right words. I kind of don’t think they exist in the English language. And the only phrases I know […]
Happy Father’s Day
Dear Dan, Today is the day to celebrate you as a father and somehow I was the one to sleep in. Which is a tribute to your caring nature as much as it is to my inability to function first thing in the morning. Thank you for loving me not only as your wife but […]
