I’m still pregnant.
That, and the whole “she’ll come when she’s ready” thing? It’s getting old. Like a geezer in plaid pants and suspenders old.
That’s all for now. I’m going to go sit on a ball and read now.
Welcome back!
I remember my very first car-ride as a new mom - we were on our way home from the hospital, and it was one of the most terrifying experiences of my life. For the first time, my baby was not only outside of me, but we were leaving the confines of a well-protected area and [...]
There’s a little known fact that I tend to keep from people about myself and my husband, and that is that we don’t really answer our door much. We live out in the middle of nowhere and pretty much NEVER get people knocking on our door. So, we figure if someone comes knocking [...]
No baby yet. *Sigh*
This week at my appointment, I’d really hoped they would’ve told me I had progressed SOMEHOW, that I was either dilated more (I’ve been 1 cm dilated since last week) or effaced. Something. But, there was no change. Steven will be going out of town soon and it scares me that I [...]
Soon, we’ll have a brand new baby around and we’re trying to implement small changes to help Lorelei cope when her new sister is here. From a brand new “big girl bed” to some awesome toys we’ve stowed away (so they’ll seem new), we’ve been making little changes. In addition, we’ve given her [...]
My sweet and wonderful daughter has been overtaken by gremlins. Or something…
Maybe it’s just the terrible twos, but oh-my-freakin-gosh.
In .3 seconds, she goes from running around the house, playing and laughing like a little cute insane person to
AGGGGHHHH!!!! Screaming her lungs out, throwing herself to the floor (even off steps)..and the [...]
This year, the population of mosquitoes and ticks promises to be even WORSE than last year in our area. Unfortunately, that leaves almost no place to hide since we live in a very wooded area - which is beautiful, save for the crawlies that my daughter and I happen to be allergic to!
Every year [...]

It started Sunday night as a rash about the size of a frosting can lid. It looked like she’d been bitten and then had an allergic reaction (like how my body reacts). We did the tylenol and benadryl thing and bathed her and made a paste out of baking soda to take the heat out [...]
It’s crazy to not have a doctor appointment today. I’ve had my appointments on Tuesdays right after lunch pretty much since I became pregnant! I thought for sure I’d have trouble remembering the appointment, but then there’s the whole I DON’T GET OUT MUCH thing, so this is like my big outing. Yeh, sad, I [...]
