A Birthday Story

Sitting here with Dillon sleeping peacefully on my chest and the world’s most incredible husband behind me at his computer. It has truly been an incredible couple of days, each moment filled to the brim with every emotion possible. Tears of joy well up each time I see Christopher holding his son, tears […]

It’s a Boy!!

Dillon Patrick arrived Sunday January 23rd at 6:59 am…and so marks the beginning of an entirely new world for our new family. Story and details will be available as soon as possible. Until then, pictures.

D-Day +3

After expressing so much concern over the possibility of me delivering too early, my doctor was quite surprised that I showed up for my regularly scheduled appointment yesterday morning and still had shown any big signs of delivering soon.
Everything checked out fine, the baby seems happy, healthy and not under any stress. I wish […]

D-Day +1

Still no signs of the baby this morning, the day after my due date. Although I am experiencing some very early signs of labor, it’s been over the course of the past few days and nothing to get too excited about just yet.

Dear Baby,

Enjoing what could very possibly be our last weekend (god willing) sans children, Christopher and I are sitting in our office at our respective computers, tinkering away with our various activities.
We’ve got an acapella album playing and the group just did a version of “Stand By Me”. I was reminded of hearing the same […]

I Love Friday

Chris is on his way home and I’m just so excited for the weekend. We’re suppose to have some wet weather (go figure), but it will be the first weekend in over a month where we haven’t tackled some big house project.
We talked about trying to get down to the Market for one last […]

SPAM Subjects

Hysterical!! Got turned onto a great blog, Dooce. So her friend labels pictures with subject lines from her spam inbox. Brilliant!

Are We There Yet?!?

I’d give almost anything to go into labor tonight. I’m ready. Oh, I’m so very ready. I can’t take this much longer. I can’t remember the last time I slept through the night without having to get up and pee at least twice, or the last time I could sleep on […]

ARGGG!!

For nearly a month we’ve been awaiting the arrival of our IKEA Karlanda sectional. I should preface this rant by saying that although I understand IKEA to be a value option and have never expected the quality that I might expect from higher-end retailers, I have been absolutely thrilled with IKEA’s quality and service […]
