Yay! It's my birthday! Or, at least it was last week... I had my parents in town from out of state to not only help me celebrate my birthday as well as Red's birthday (our celebrations are 8 days apart) but also help finish moving us into the house and hanging pictures, painting and setting up … [Read more...]

3 Hour Pregnancy Glucose Test… a live blog
Welcome to my 3 hour pregnancy glucose test. It was much different than last time I took it, and certainly more intense than my one hour glucose test from last week. I've never been one to "live blog" or "live tweet" an event, although I've seen so many people do it across the years at … [Read more...]
The Dreaded Pregnancy Glucose Test
For anyone that has never been pregnant, or never had to endure the overnight-fasting grump-fest that is a pregnancy glucose test, it's not very fun. In fact, I hate it.

I Needed Support as a New Mom
I remember becoming a mother for the first time. It was years ago that Red was born, but I remember those first few minutes like they were yesterday. The nurse placed Red in my arms after an incredibly traumatic birth and emergency surgery, and I almost didn't know what to do. I had been … [Read more...]
Knocking It Off When Knocked Up
I really need to knock off. I am wiped out lately, and it's because I'm still taking on a non-pregnant lady work-load on as I approach my 7 month mark. My noted lack of ab muscles make getting off the couch a chore and frankly, sitting in a normal chair for more than 10 minutes absolutely throws … [Read more...]
Kid’s Bedroom Decorating Ideas, Tips, and Inspiration
Since our big move to a new home, I'm eager to decorate our new spaces! Complete with a "big bed," Red's new room needs a little help to finally find it's way from a baby's room to a big kid space. I'm eating up tons of photos and inspiration to figure out what we need and how to complete it. I'm … [Read more...]
