Date Night

Yesterday was a bit of a rough day for me.  It was my turn to be the co-op mom at the preschool and it was the children’s last day in the classroom for the year.  Originally I wasn’t scheduled to co-op (and was thankful for that because Becca has a cold and I’ve been recovering from mine [...]

Blessings

I am loving this weather.  I am loving the rain and the sunshine that is helping my garden grow and become beautiful.  I’m feeling blessed beyond belief at the beauty that I see each time I step out my back door.  I had to run out to the store quickly tonight and when I came [...]

midwife visit #2

I went and had my second appointment last night at the birth center.  Everything seems to be going well.  I’ve gained 8 pounds which is good.  I guess at least 10 pounds is what’s supposed to be gained by 20 weeks and I’m 17 weeks - so I’m right on track for a healthy weight gain [...]

Love it!

So Becca woke up around 1:30 in the night and she was slightly fussy – no full blown crying so I figured I’d just leave her.  I was contemplating getting her some water though.  Water usually helps her go back to sleep if she ever wakes up.  So I’m laying there thinking about all this [...]

Recipe

Here’s a new favorite recipe of mine that my friend gave me recently.  I made this dish for dinner last night when my Mom and Gramma came over.  It was a pretty big hit which is a big deal for me since I’m not always successful when it comes to making a new meal.  haha.  [...]

sleep! i need sleep!

I’ve been a little tired these past few days.  My poor Becca hasn’t been feeling well and was up most of the night two different nights this week.  She’s had an external yeast infection which is getting better s l o w l y and also has outdoor allergies.  With those tow ailments combined, it [...]

Simplicity

I’m seriously going to miss how easy it is to get out of the house with just two kids.  I don’t need a huge diaper bag anymore or changes of clothing for Becca… it’s usually very simple: my purse/bag with one diaper, wipes, and wallet.  That’s it.  I remember when Becca was born how it would [...]

baby andrews 3

I am 4 months pregnant today…. only 5 more to go!  October still seems so far away, but I know that 5 months really isn’t a lot of time at all.  I’m sure it will go by rather quickly especially since I do have more energy now and have been busier and more active since [...]

what is it?

To be kind and considerate to the person, I will not say a name.  Someone I know just had a lesion on the liver discovered during a cat scan that was originally prescribed to look at another part of the body for an issue that was being explored.  I’m pretty upset even though it isn’t known [...]
