We have had family portraits, a reunion, company, and a baby shower, all in the last four weeks since Baby’s birth. We will find out officially on Thursday, but I am pretty sure she is putting on roughly a pound every week. If the get togethers were to continue, Hubby and I probably would keep [...]
This may be a super fast post, ‘cos I still don’t have a good office chair and my bum is telling me to type like the wind! That said, I haven’t had to cook much for the last couple of weeks thanks to some awesome friends and a fantastic Hubby. One meal that came just [...]
It is always amazing to me how much bodies (and lives) can change over a relatively short amount of time. Those photos were taken just days apart. In fact, the pregnant picture was taken just hours before Little Bean was born- and I had no idea it was happening. From conception to birth and postpartum, [...]
While I never really got to the point where I thought I’d be pregnant forever, I do have to admit that it feels a bit weird not being pregnant right now. I think it had become my new normal. Wednesday afternoon, after making light of my twelfth day past the due date, I realized I [...]
Inspired by a youtube video about large families, I found it appropriate to make my own rendition of “The Twelve Days of Christmas” as we trudge through my 12th day overdue. Plus, it’s probably safer for me to get this snark out here instead of all at once to the next person who says something [...]
Yes, we are still here. Lovely back rolls and all. Really, they are pretty symmetrical back rolls. I can live with them if there is some symmetry. Anyway, I’m pretty sure that no one is looking at my back at this point. The waddle cannot be tamed. I tried. I thought I had it down [...]
Well, we’ve made it. It has been nine months since we first saw that little pink line and everything changed. Nine months of Fuzzy waiting to catch the baby. Nine months of changes and growth for Iz. Nine months of furiously cleaning, crafting and cooking. Nine months of learning to let go…and the process isn’t [...]
A few weeks ago, I threw a fit shared my feelings about maternity clothes. That same day, my call for maternity clothes for real women was answered by BOBA- Baby On Board Apparel. Founder Ali McEwen has a heart for expecting mothers and has directed her fashion expertise toward them. BOBA was started when she [...]
I do realize that I’m a bit late in posting. If you follow me on facebook, you know I took a complete hiatus over the past few days. I had family coming up Wednesday, and Hubby was off from Thursday until Sunday. Rather than stress about a trip to a Thanksgiving gathering or the work [...]
If you missed the Crazy Birth Junkie Disclaimer, you might want to go back to it and check it out (and put in a guess on baby’s stats, too). The bottom line is that not all of us fear “pushing a watermelon out of our nostril.” It’s just not like that. Some of us relish [...]
