Identity.
[Note: This one took me a four days to write. I still don’t know if I am quite expressing myself in the way I intend to, but I’ve wasted four days and need to move on.] I am in that weird place where I am trying to figure out who I am as a mom. […]

NOTE: I started this post six weeks ago, when Zachary was five weeks old. I have long wanted to do posts of The Adventures of Zach and Zoe but kept putting it off.

Man, this is my third video post in a row and I have one more for tomorrow or Saturday. Having a baby has made me lazy, lol. Since Zach loves to sit up or be held up to look around and has been able to hold his head up on his own for a while now, […]

Man, it’s hard to believe that it’s been a week since Zach’s entrance into the world. Here’s what happened: My water broke at 5:45 p.m. on Thursday, June 12.

Well, another week, and yup, I’m still pregnant! I know four gals who had their babies over the last four days. It feels like everyone is having babies but me. Meh, mine must take after his father, because he is still hanging out, in no rush to join us out here. I was born at 34 weeks and Jay […]

Jay & I have made even more progress on Baby G’s nursery! We still have a few things left to do, but this is pretty much the finalized look. We got the shelving from IKEA and the wall art/mobile/bedding from Babies R Us. A word of caution to anyone considering buying bedding from Babies R […]

Well, not much to update this week. Had my 38 week appointment this morning, but there was no change. Still have a soft cervix, still not dilated. I know the cervix checks mean absolutely nothing, but when you’re waiting impatiently, it just sucks to not know what’s going on. I feel like every week, I […]
