Things have been much more hectic than I imagined they’d be since Joshua was born. I am taking advantage of some rare quiet time right now while he naps (it’s a nice long one, too — I was even able to pay the bills before blogging). My days have been filled with feedings, diaper changes, […]
Two Months… Already! Read More »
As you all probably know by now, Joshua Roger has finally arrived! He was born on his due date, December 29, after putting his mama through 3 days of painful contractions (from sometime Friday afternoon until Monday afternoon when he was born). He was well worth it, though! And while I started out wanting an
Woah, Mama. Someone’s getting big: It feels like the baby could be here any day now; his head is in position and very low at this point. I have a lot of pressure in my lower abdomen/pelvis/back, and it can be hard to walk sometimes, especially when I first get up from sitting. I wouldn’t

Kevin and I welcomed two new additions to the house on Saturday — a couch and a loveseat. Our living room has never felt cozier. I’m sure we’ll be sitting on these super-comfortable seats a lot with the baby. We did some Christmas decorating last night, as well. There will be more once we pick
With less than five weeks to go, it feels like my belly is getting bigger everyday. Carrying this baby is getting less comfortable, but it won’t be much longer until this journey is done and we’re on to our next adventure — raising the child! Kevin is making some good progress on the nursery and

I can’t believe that there are only 8 more weeks left until the baby is due. It seems like just yesterday we found out I was pregnant. Time is flying! Sorry to be slacking with the updates. There hasn’t been anything too exciting to report, and I have been really tired since going into my

Things have been busy in our household these days, preparing for the baby’s arrival. We’ve been trying to get things more organized, and to throw out all of the extra junk we don’t need, to make room for baby supplies. I can’t believe we only have about three months left to go. The pressure is

Kevin and I went for another ultrasound on Thursday (August 21). The baby was much more cooperative this time — wide awake and moving the legs as well as the arms. Perhaps it was Kara’s suggestion that I drink orange juice before I went for the exam? Or maybe the baby wanted to give his

On Wednesday, July 23, we went for another ultrasound. We were hoping to be able to find out the gender, but the baby did not want to cooperate. Instead, he/she decided to sleep, even after some prodding by the nurse! There’s no doubt this child belongs to me and Kevin. 🙂 Because the baby was

It’s hard to believe, but I have already been pregnant for 15 weeks. There’s not too much to report — “Junior” has been quiet so far — but I thought I would share some of baby’s first photos: Week 7 Week 9 And my super-flattering belly pic from week 14: I am glad to finally
