Right now she is upstairs in her crib. I haven't heard any screaming for at least 30 seconds so it either means that she isn't getting any oxygen or maybe, just maybe, she will really fall asleep somewhere other than my arms. I'm crossing my fingers but I'm typing fast just in case i...

I did it. I gave up my DINK (Dual Income No Kids) car for a new Mommy Wagon. Let' face it, the Audi was awesome. And some will question why I gave up a beautiful (paid off) Audi for a Mazda CX-7. I'm sure there will be days I question it as well, like when it rains and I no longer hav...

On top of my visit to Urgent Care this past Thursday I took a trip to labor & delivery yesterday morning. Everything is fine, but seriously I think I am being told to just slow things down. We woke yesterday morning to 77 degrees with a beautiful cloud cover in the morning so I took advantage of...

July 10,2008 Dear Hayley, My dearest little girl (you are no longer a little baby), it feels like ages since I have written you a love note. You keep us running, all the time. You are about twenty months old right now and we have to stop and remind ourselves that you are ONLY twenty months old. Some...

I, for one, would like to know why my toddler who used to be the perfect sleeper has turned into holy terror whenever it comes time for a nap or bed. Seriously. It used to be that we would turn on the "sleepy" cd, rock together in the chair for the first song (usually about six minutes) an...

The title says it all, really, need I say more? We went to my sisters wedding in Dallas. So let me start off by saying, it was beautiful. She was beautiful. I cried when I saw her coming through the arch at the end of the aisle. She looked like a princess. But everything leading up to that moment an...

I have read those blogs where people disappear for long periods of time only to pop back in and tell everyone they are still there but I never thought I would be one. So I am. Sorry. I will definitely try to get better. It isn't even that I am pregnant, it is that I am working so much I have no time...

I think I've said it before, and if you have a mother then you can likely identify- there are so many things we have probably told ourselves that our mothers do that we never would when we became a mother. There is a saying I once found in an old tole-painting magazine and I swear one day I will buy...

You know the old adage "every pregnancy is different"? It's true. I didn't really believe it, but then again, I don't usually believe anything that anyone has to say about pregnancy- I must discover it for myself and generally it must be done the hard way. At any rate, I was looking back t...

So I'm dying to tell the entire world that I am approximately three weeks four days pregnant but I am exercising every ounce of self restraint that I have. Instead I am going to blog about it but not publish it until we have made it through what I would consider the critical phase. Or at least until...
