Tuesday morning, around 10 a.m, I started having really bad abdominal pains. It felt more like a stomach ache rather than cramps. There was no explanation; I didn’t do anything unusual. At about this time I started feeling guilty about everything… what if it was the deli meat I snuck at my baby shower, what [...]

After the absolutely perfect baby shower my momma Cheryl hosted I think we’re all set for Lizzy to arrive. We received all the necessities from our friends and family and tons of the cute stuff too. For everyone that was able to make it, thank you for sharing a very special day with us. And [...]

On a recent trip to Utah my Blackberry was fried by an unruly outlet. I’ve been a loyal “Crackberry”  user/abuser since I was a teen. I never thought another smartphone would outdo it’s capabilities, until the iPhone came on scene. However, my wireless provider is Verizon and I’m happy with their service and coverage, but [...]

I was really looking forward to my doctor’s appointment today. I quit drinking soda approximately three weeks ago and I was sure he’d be singing my praises. Unfortunately, things didn’t go as planned. I stepped onto the scale, that I thought was my friend, and the nurse kept scooting its bar to the right… further [...]

The first year of their lives is captured on film, which gives [...]

The Bump has the cutest tickers to countdown your little one’s arrival. My favorite is the Size ticker. Since the very beginning I’ve been informing my husband of Lizzy’s size in relation to random fruit. I miss saying, “This week she’s a large raspberry.” However, her squash resemblance means she’s even closer to being welcomed [...]
