These days, it’s funny the things that will entertain us. We’ll watch entire shows about house hunting or redecorating. We get excited to see tomatoes growing in our garden. We are giddy about an Amazon delivery that contains a new cooking utensil, diapers, and some toilet paper. We are domesticated! So, when our neighbors invited…

Baby is the size of a large zucchiniHow far along: 24 weeksTotal weight gain: I’m done answering this question.Maternity clothes: Still yes. I foresee maternity clothes in my future into September.Sleep: Still sleeping pretty good and I’m just rolling with it. I realize that terrible sleep is coming and certainly will only get worse before it gets better.Best moment…

Boy, do we love this city. A few months ago it was determined that a big work meeting that I plan would happen in NYC. I immediately began making plans for Chris to join me. I saw it as a last opportunity for the two of us to sneak away before baby girl (and while…

One of our favorite spring-time activities is getting our garden set up. Chris made us this perfect raised flower bed a couple years ago and we love changing out the vegetation each spring and fall.  But, we definitely have better luck with spring. We tried onions and garlic in the fall and had the cutest…

For as slow as the beginning of pregnancy is, the rest of it seems to be a high-speed train. I can’t believe we are already halfway to meeting our baby girl! Baby is the size of a banana How far along: 20 weeksTotal weight gain: 12-ish pounds? +/- 3lbs 🙂Maternity clothes: Oh hell yes. Nothing else. Lots of…

I think this all started years ago when we first took Walt to the dentist. He’s totally fascinated with losing his teeth! He goes to a Montessori school where they put 3-, 4-, and 5-year olds in one class together (it’s so the little ones learn from the big ones and the big ones help…

I sure do love this time of year and do we ever love us some baseball!  Walt is very excited to be back on the Bulls playing his last season of Tball before we graduate to coaches pitch.  I’m anxious to see how the team improves. They have come so far in just a year!…

I’m so excited that it’s almost spring. But, then again, it’s been “spring-y” for a while now since we somehow skipped winter. I realize this probably means a zombie apocalypse or global warming will zap us all in a matter of days, but for now I am not complaining. I can do without winter weather!…

Sometimes I feel like the worst mom in the world. I blame Facebook. I see all these things these awesome mommies do with their kids and wonder how I can fit it all in!  Sometimes sanity for us is popcorn and a movie.  But, then I think about all the awesome experiences we have had…

I haven’t historically been great at documenting my pregnancies. I did pretty good with Walt because it was new and exciting, but I had nothing else to blog about. Poor Oscar received only a few entries prior to birth.  The 2nd pregnancies was not nearly as glamorous as the first.  My goal this time is…
