Baby Watch: Week 22

The ultrasound was great and the previa had resolved, so I don’t have restrictions and don’t have to go back to Maternal Fetal Medicine anymore.  We had a great visit home with my family.  In talking with my sisters, I realized that 5 (and possibly 

Baby Watch: Week 21

(This was last week…I’m behind…again). We had a really busy week and weekend, which included an all-day trip to Ikea, visit with friends, and then walking around the Zoo all day on Sunday with those friends.  I ended up having some spotting on Sunday night 

Happy Father’s Day!

We went to my parents’ house for the weekend and got to spend Father’s Day with most of the family.  We cooked out Saturday and Sunday, and just hung out. The first thing that people say when I say I have 5 sisters (and no 

Sunday Social: Pet Peeves and more

It’s Sunday Social day where Ashley and Neely post questions each week for people to answer on their blogs and a linkup. 1. What is your biggest driving pet peeve? Just one, lol?  Probably people not using their turn signal – whether turning or switching

Fitness Friday: Whomp-whomp (in the tune of Debbie Downer)

I have no Fitness Friday to report, sadly.  Other than walking around at Ikea on Saturday, and the Zoo all day on Sunday, I’ve got nothing. See…I had some spotting on Sunday/Monday which I always think isn’t a big deal, however I’m supposed to call 

New “To Do” before Baby

So we have our list of things we want to get done over the next year, but now that we are having a baby, certain things need to be moved to more important on the list and others won’t really matter so much.  I put 

May Cotton Booty Box

Despite many people claiming that we are crazy, we intend to attempt cloth diapering with our baby.  The fact that disposable diapers take 100’s of years to biodegrade has always swayed me towards cloth.  I can be a bit of a hippy about things, (though 

Menu Monday: Freezer Food and Dining out

Linking up for Menu Monday again. I didn’t take any pictures for some reason, but nothing was thrilling.  It was mostly food from the freezer and dining out, along with a cookout. Monday:  Lasagna from the freezer that Lo made awhile ago.  We were going
