Letting Go of August

I left off on a sour note, didn’t I? I’ve been thinking about that, but really realized it today when a friend called to make sure I hadn’t fallen into some dark pit and disappeared.
So, I had a bad day. Immediately after that I took off again to Georgia to support some friends for a [...]

It’s bad. Very Bad.

Have you ever read that book, Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day?
That would be today for me.
Have I mentioned that the last 10 weeks of my pregnancies are the very hardest for me? I sail through the first trimester with very little “sickness”. I groove through the second trimester with lots [...]

This is what happens when I get up early…

I check my email and find out about a new doll that has got parents, medical professionals, and everybody in between all riled up.
Straight from the headlines:
A controversial new doll is leaving some parents wishing for the good old Cabbage Patch days.
…and may even promote early pregnancy….
Dr. Manny Alvarez, managing health editor of FOXNews.com, said [...]

Because I had time to think

By Thursday of last week I knew that I needed some rest and my kids needed some fresh people to play with and love on them. So, given my perceptive Mommy Logic, I decided we should just take a tiny road trip to the next state over. I had plenty of time to think, on [...]

Pregnancy Menu- Week 32 31

What happens when I go away for the weekend? I miss my email that tells me how many weeks I am and I get ahead of myself. I was happily chugging along to the tune of “32 weeks” all weekend until I read my email just now. Only 31. Not that it makes much difference [...]

Happy Birthday, Arwen!

She had about five million requests for the day, and this Mamma did the best I could to keep up with all of them. =)
Our first big stop of the afternoon was the McWane Science Museum in B’ham. Daddy bought her (and all of us) a membership so we can go back whenever we like.

My [...]

In the Beginning…I had no idea

Five years ago, at this very moment (8:40 pm) I was beginning my journey to Motherhood. I was approximately 9 hours into a 26 hour labor. Good thing I didn’t know at that moment that it was going to go on for so long!
I had returned “home”- to my parent’s house- a place [...]

Pooties and Palm Trees

This happened weeks ago. Forgive me for holding out on you.
Charis had a mild obsession with Palm Trees that lasted for about 6 months after we went to the beach last September. On the way there, I had told the girls that they’d know we were getting close to the beach when they started seeing [...]
