That’s right. On May 23, 2013, we welcomed our little girl, our Pixie Baby to the fold. She was 6 pounds, 6 ounces and 18.5 inches long. Not only was she 2 weeks and a day early, she is significantly smaller and fairer than any of the other children born in recent family history. Even … Continue reading
Well, the good news (I think) is Baby Girl isn’t here yet. She managed to hang out and get herself to full term–a huge answer to prayers. The slow switch in thinking came this weekend. Now that she’s full-term, it’s just a matter of waiting, right? Well…maybe. I know full-term is cause for celebration, but … Continue reading
Months ago, the ItzBeen Pocket Nanny came to my attention via Pinterest. Immediately, I wanted it! Now, almost 8 months later, this wonderful little invention has shown up everywhere from Mom magazines to People’s list of cool mom gadgets. Here’s my personal review and experience with the Pocket Nanny in all it’s glory! First of … Continue reading
Now that we have come through an unsettling, anxiety-riddled week with Baby Girl, my brain is functioning again. I am able to concentrate on things like: buying last minute necessities, preparing a few frozen meals for the weeks after birth, and FINALLY getting my music together for the delivery room. The importance of music is … Continue reading
When the house was full of kiddos, the Moby wrap saved my life. Chasing after two 2-year-olds is nearly impossible when there’s a newborn needing to be held and you’re, oh 34+ weeks pregnant. So I wrapped. And so did they It doesn’t get much cuter. Continue reading
So much has been happening lately, that I’m finding it hard to put into words. Trust me, being lost for words is new for me. Still, I find myself sitting here in the early morning trying to get some of these feelings onto the screen…mostly so they are out of my head. I realize that … Continue reading
I have to be careful with my words here, and I’ve never been terribly good at being careful. I have to be willing to trust–in God, in people, in my instincts…and I’m terrible at trusting. I have to take one day, sometimes one hour at a time. I have to believe that everything will work … Continue reading
My first attempt at making my own nursing top was so easy and successful, that I felt completely empowered to try another project: the nursing dress. Again, one of my biggest concerns when it comes to nursing is modesty. If I’m being honest, though, another concern is having to totally change my wardrobe to accommodate breastfeeding. Every post … Continue reading
The more pregnant I get, the more I crave a long, relaxing bath. However, the more pregnant I get, the more frequently I have to pee. A 20 minute bath isn’t really relaxing when I have to leave the warm water twice to go to the bathroom…even though I went before I got in. So, … Continue reading
I’ve been wanting to write (and rave) about my beautiful baby shower, but I’ve been waiting for pictures. They still haven’t made their way to me, but I can’t wait any more. Here’s the only picture I do have. I have to start by saying that I don’t really know the details of who set … Continue reading
