Almost There

February 15, 2012
"Yesterday marked 37 weeks of pregnancy for me and Grayson. It is exciting to know that we are in a good place if he decides to come early. But mostly it is nice to know there is an end in sight. Sometime in the next three weeks (or, I suppose, five weeks ..."

Teaching a Toddler About a New Baby

February 07, 2012
"Hubby and I have been trying for the past few months to prepare Bink for the impending arrival of his new little brother. As you can imagine with a two-year-old, that's mostly been falling on deaf ears. Then about a month ago, Bink has suddenly become all about Grayson. I think it started when he [...]"

Overwhelmed

January 31, 2012
"I'll let you all in on a little secret... I don't handle change well. Those who know me probably aren't shocked by the revelation, but it's true. I do well in routines. I plan my day, my meals, my outfits. And when something big is sitting on the horizon, I panic. Most of that panic [...]"

Our Week Through Instagram

January 18, 2012
"I wrote a post last week that illustrated our week through Instagram and I kind of loved it. It was fun to go back through my phone pictures to see what I'd snapped, especially since it is what I grab to get a quick shot of Bink when I know I don't have time to [...]"

Goals

January 04, 2012
"This time last year, I set 52 pretty lofty goals to accomplish during 2011. They seemed pretty achievable at the time What I did manage to accomplish (or at least got pretty close): Photography Goals 6. Take a picture every day (Project 365)--almost. I did really well, only missing a few days up until December. [...]"

Pregnancy Update

December 22, 2011
"{First and foremost, everything is fine.} I've mentioned before how different pregnancy is this time around. No time to sit still, let alone worry too much. In many ways, being so busy with Bink and K has been a blessing during this pregnancy. I think if I had had my miscarriage during my first pregnancy [...]"

Nesting

December 08, 2011
"So, yeah. Um. Grayson is due in less than three months. I'm not really sure how this realization snuck up on me, but it did. I've been so wrapped up in daily life that this pregnancy has moved at warp speed. Once we get through Christmas, meaning: the first time I might have a minute [...]"

The Big Reveal

October 06, 2011
"{No, you are not finding out in this post if we having a boy or a girl.} Early in this pregnancy my Mom told me about a cute idea that she'd seen on the news--a gender reveal cake. While I immediately thought it was adorable, Hubby took a little convincing. He got on board pretty [...]"

Pregnancy This Time Around

September 27, 2011
"So, hey, I'm like 17 weeks along already. Funny how time just keeps moving along. Hubby asked me the other day how big the baby was...and, uh, I had no idea. I had to look online to find out (answer in actual units of measurement: about 5 inches, answer in fruit/vegetable units of measurement: onion). [...]"

The Best Sound Ever

September 21, 2011
"First, my apologies that I couldn't find a cooler way to share this. I've tried and tried to find an embeddable audio player, but no luck. So, in it's humble glory, here is the audio that Hubby took during our last doctor's appointment. (In theory, if you click the link, it should take you to [...]"

Too Ficey!

September 13, 2011
"When Bink eats something that's too spicy, he'll stick out his tongue and shout "Too ficey! Too ficey!" until I either wipe off his tongue with a napkin or convince him to drink something. Luckily for Bink, he has a pretty high "fice" tolerance. The last time he complained about it, he'd eaten some salsa [...]"

Vacation: Part Two

September 02, 2011
"Monday-Las Vegas We left early Monday to make the drive to Las Vegas. Bink and Kirsten occupied themselves with individual DVD players. I occupied myself by repeatedly having to "fix" Bink's headphones for him (after he took them off his ears to look at them, throw them at me and said "Mommy, fick it!") We [...]"

Vacation

August 31, 2011
"I figured since today is the last day of August I should get with it already and tell you about the vacation we took way back at the beginning of the month. Although that feels like years ago right now. Most of these pictures are straight out of my camera or phone, because let's be [...]"
