Feather Your Nest – Preparing for a Healthy Baby #FeatherYourNest

It’s always been said that baby’s run on their own time, so for an expectant mother eagerly awaiting their newborns arrival, the excitement of waiting and guessing for labor needs an outlet. The best an expectant mother can do is to keep her home and body prepared so that when the baby finally makes his/her debut, mom can go into the delivery room relaxed and ready. When it comes to making preparations, it’s a good idea to start with the {Read More}

BabyMed.com – An online Pregnancy and Fertility Community for Women

I remember the first few months of my pregnancy with Jackson so well. I was depressed, really depressed. I kept myself isolated from everyone and I slept all the time. I just didn’t feel like anyone could relate to what I was going through, so I kept myself distant from others and suffered silently most days. Then I found an amazing community of women online – on blogs, forums, message boards and the like…and I suddenly realized I was anything {Read More}

Go Speed Racer!

After several false alarms… my newest nephew Luke finally decided that yesterday was the day he would enter the world. He was 5 days over due…and we were all dying to meet him. Alicia wanted me to be there to take pictures and tweet the birth…but it was not to be. Even though she called me as soon as she was in active labor I was not able to get to them in time. We live a little more than {Read More}

First Look

So apparently I’m totally uncool and out the loop in the scrapbooking world because I didn’t know about 52 Sketches, 52 Weeks. But now I do, and so I joined in this week with my rendering of sketch #38. I’m glad I did this too, because those Ultrasound photos had just been sitting in an envelope in my photo box for sometime now. The scrappy bug has bitten me hard this week, and I’ve been working on various projects. Be {Read More}

Why Blogging Saved my Life

So I know it must sound a little dramatic…almost like something from a cheap grocery store tabloid… “BLOGGING SAVED MY LIFE!!” I can just see it now plastered across the front page of The National Inquirer. But seriously, I feel like that in a way it has genuinely helped me away from something that held me captive for almost 2 months. First off I will say that this is a bit more serious than my normal posts, and parts of {Read More}

Because it’s the biggest thing that’s happened lately!

Alicia, my sis-in-law,posted her birth story today. You can read it here. I mainly am directing you to this post because while the story is pretty funny, there is a picture of her with my husband at the hospital that I think is totally hilarious! Dave is the biggest kidder ever….plain and simple.

You won’t hear me argue about this one!

A pre-cursor for a post to come later (I hope)

I hate being away form everyone…it’s just been to long, and I feel bad for leaving YOU out of the loop! So! I promise to come back later and post pictures from the last week or so. (See my last post if you don’t know what I’m talking about.) I’ll also have a meal plan ready and discuss the LOAD of housework that I am (grudgingly) about to begin. This week I’m not only meal planning for myself, but also {Read More}
