It’s snowing right now. Granted it isn’t snowing enough and won’t snow enough today to have any accumulation on the ground but it does make the realization hit that winter is here. Before we do get some snow on the ground though I do need to get Abbi some snow pants and boots. I should [...]

I did it. I got up this morning at 5:30am and was shopping by 6am. I tried to prepare myself for the madness and chaos and masses of people, but really, could anyone be prepared for this? I swear those women could sense that I was new to this whole thing. They could tell that [...]

What am I thankful for this Thanksgiving? A very healthy toddler and a healthy baby growing inside of me. We had our ultrasound this morning and it went really well. This was a different ultrasound tech than who did our ultrasound with Abbi. She pointed out everything to us and told us all of the [...]

I believe in my last post I mentioned that I was not crazy brave enough to venture out for the Black Friday sales. Well, blame it on the pregnancy hormones or my NEED to find a good deal or pure insanity, but I’m going to do it. I’m going to join the masses of crazy [...]

Is anyone else getting into the Christmas spirit? I’m not sure what it is — the radio stations playing non-stop Christmas music, everyone putting out Christmas decorations, being bombarded by Christmas the minute I walk into each and every store — but I’m shamefully getting into the Christmas spirit and Thanksgiving isn’t even here yet. [...]

Apparently Abbi believes this baby is going to be a girl as well. Actually she has no idea about this baby. No idea that in less than 21 weeks a new child will be coming into this house and life as she knows it will be flipped upside-down. And yet she has taken to phrase [...]

Not the greatest start to the week. The weather is grey and rainy and cold. The kid is super whiny which drives me crazy. And we’re still pushing forward on the potty training. So, why not play with the new camera and take pictures of my little fashion victim (Abbi).

And so the potty training begins. It is so hard to tell if she’s actually ready for it or not, but all signs pointed to the positive so we thought we would give it a shot. We’ve had the potty for a while now so Abbi’s pretty comfortable with having it around and even just [...]

Is Thanksgiving really only 2 weeks away? Does anyone else feel like this Fall is flying by? I cannot believe that in less than 2 weeks we will be having our ultrasound and finding out if WeeOne #2 is a boy or girl. Tim and I are both pretty confident that this one is going [...]

Tonight I had a minor freak-out moment. I walked into our bathroom and caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror. A glimpse of my pregnant-self. And I realized, ummm, we’re having another baby. As in, baby #2. Don’t get me wrong, I am happy about the arrival of another little one. It was just [...]
