Lacking Direction, Motivation and Discipline
My son is an hour into his two hour nap. I’ve done a tiny spot of work (deleted a single relationship from my database), folded two pieces of clothing, talking to my mom and ate about half a canteloupe. I am super stressed about work. (Don’t ever say you are dropping down to part-time work […]

I had an appointment with my regular OB yesterday. Sadly, it was a boring visit, i.e. no sonogram. And Fran had actually missed the gender discovery visit (but Grandma, her mom, went with me!) so I felt particularly bad that it was boring visit for her. We did heard a steady heartbeat and that’s always soothing and […]

I can hardly believe that I am one week away from being at the half way mark! It seems amazingly unreal. Each morning, I feel my belly and thank God for placing us here.
Unfortunately, I just found out this weekend that one of our neighbors recently miscarried. I instantly had chills all over my […]

Friday afternoon, Elijah and I were doing our usual cleaning. I decided to throw a load in the washing machine and I was surprised when it turned off suddenly. Did the large load usually take longer than that?! Hmph! I went and thought may be I forgot to push the button. So I pushed it […]

This weekend I had our largest garage sale ever planned. It’s been in the works since April. I had boxes of items that I had been setting aside and diligently putting price tags on each item for sale and creating (suprise, suprise!) a spreadsheet to itemize the merchandise. I estimated that if we sold everything […]

Alright, alright, if I don’t sit down and type something this very minute, I fear I shall never get back!
Yesterday I was in a super moody/sappy place. We’ve tried so hard to get here, that I told myself I was not going to be moody or complain a lot (worrying about spotting and bleeding doesn’t […]
The First Day… For Real
Okay, okay… Today for real is the first day of Elijah and Mama at home together. Thus far, we’ve had a great day.
Elijah had two eggs with two slices of cheddar cheese and about 10 or so green beans and his V8 fruit/veggie juice and milk. Earlier in the morning he snuck snips of our […]
16 Week Sentiments
Overall, I feel that I have had very mild pregnancy symptoms. Luckily I never faced morning sickness, unless I waited a minute too long to eat. My exhaustion/energy level and quickly growing breasts were the only things that seemed truly apparent. Within the last week though my emotions are running high and my ability to eat […]

Monday was my first day as a WAHM. It was in a word: AWESOME! I know not every day will be that way, but I am so grateful that my first day was good.
Now a disclaimer - I didn’t have the baby with me… So I was super productive
I set my alarm for […]
Busted on the 4th
As any holiday goes for us, we were busy bouncing between events and family functions all day. Perhaps our most eventful memory was a small parade for kids to decorate their bikes, wagons, scooters, or selves and march around the lake that’s 1/3 of a mile from the house. We were so excited […]

I do believe it has happened! Sunday evening Fran and I were on our way to a little outing, just the two of us, and I just felt this light sort of tapping in my lower abdomen. It crossed my mind that it might have been quickening, but I thought it a bit […]

Once again, the longer I stay away, the harder it is to come back! So here’s a core dump :)
Things are going swimmingly! Our son is just growing by leaps and bounds every day! It’s just so incredible to see it happening. He carries on his little conversations with us with a combination of sign and […]
