It has been ten years since my last trip to labor and delivery. Twelve the time before that. So... I decided to ask around and get a few tips on what to take to the hospital with me that I might have forgotten. I figure in ten years there might even be something new and exciting that I need to add t...

"Whoooo doesn't love a baby?" That was my baby shower theme. These are the photos from yesterday's festivities - and YES, I got my cupcake... but was not impressed with the fact that it didn't start my labor like I had hoped. See that little finger indentation on the icing? That's my friend Ammie's ...

Here's a little glimpse of how homeschool goes while mom is supposed to be resting with her feet up and gestating baby number three..... (don't ever say I haven't gotten nitty-gritty with the blogosphere, baby - this is the real deal): This is the mama 'nest'. Complete with lots of back support, lap...

Remember the LIST? And the Monthly BREAKDOWN of goals for January? Then the progress report for January? I never got around to breaking down the February goals for this year, but I have still been hard at work (big pregnant belly and all). I figure I'll go ahead and do my February progress report ea...

I'm in one of those seasons where blogging is on my mind, but I can't seem to find the time or energy to get to it. I'm constantly thinking about sharing tidbits of what is going on in these busy days, but somehow it just doesn't ever get blogged. Hate to miss these thoughts, events, and funny momen...

Welcome to the February 10, 2009 edition of carnival of homeschooling - the '9 Month Journey' episode in honor of human development in the womb. If you are a frequent visitor to my blog, you might know that I'm nearing the end of this journey (currently week 33 give or take a few...) and expecting a...

Dawn at My Home Sweet Home (who I wish was my neighbor) tagged me for this meme about blogging a long time ago and it got burried in my nearly 1,000 emails for months. I'm one of those people who's email program asks me if I want to archive every time I open it. And you just don't want to know how m...

Well, I guess I pushed it a little too hard yesterday. We ran errands, did carschooling, and went to choir class from 9am until nearly 4pm. Then after we ate cereal for dinner (I was way too tired to cook), my mom and I decided to tackle the boy's room. We sorted a box of Legos and arranged all of h...

Last time I did a belly shot I was barely 6 months, I guess? It was early December. Now I'm barely 8 months... give or take a few weeks. This photo was taken at 31 weeks, but the baby was measuring 33 or 34 at my sonogram/doctor appointment. So... either he's a Viking, like I suspected... or the due...

Almost a whole week without blogging. Wow. That's a record for me. I don't know what's wrong with me, but I just can't sit here and blog. My pregnant brain is melting or something. Help! So... to make it up to you, I'm giving away THREE WHOLE BOXES of Little Debbie's 100 Calorie Snacks. Because you ...
