Lizzy has been full-term for almost two weeks and I just can’t wait for her to arrive! Everyday I’m contacted by friends and family who are curious to know her status. I’m curious to know it too! I wish she could just turn some of her kung-fu kicks into morse code and communicate a date. [...]

It’s 37 weeks and Lizzy is full-term. Here’s a video of her reaction after I served her an eviction notice! Whoever said babies move around less as labor approaches hasn’t met Lizzy yet. She still seems to have plenty of room to do as she pleases.

Last week I finally got educated on breastfeeding. It’s about time too, because Lizzy and her appetite will be arriving shortly. I signed up for two different classes and read all the literature I could get my hands on. After attending the classes I’ve come to two conclusions: women’s bodies are absolutely amazing and “breast [...]

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 [...]

Countdown to the Baby-Shower Today I went to lunch with some very close friends that will not be able to make it to my upcoming baby-shower. I’m really sad that they won’t be able to attend, but seeing them and receiving their gifts early has made me even more excited about the shower. It’s going [...]

My third and final trimester has been the best thus far. I’m no longer getting sick and I’ve come to terms with my belly growing by leaps and bounds. I used to complain a lot to my hubby about everything, but there’s really no point because it just gets worse. For instance, I remember complaining [...]

Day One: Last night, my sister-in-law and I decided that we were going to kick our caffeine addictions to the curb. We’re lovers of all things carbonated. She prefers Mt. Dew or Dr. Pepper, with its 23-bubbly-flavors, and I can’t get enough of Diet Coke with an icy-cold splash of Barq’s Root Beer on the [...]
