Abbi has really been using her imagination lately, which I love! I think it has also helped her to begin playing by herself a little more, something I was really hoping would happen before the baby came. I want her to be able to play by herself and not always depend on me, as I [...]

With the weather being absolutely depressing today (rain, rain and more rain), I thought I would share this video of Abbi. Tim recorded his video chat with Abbi on Friday when she decided to sing him songs and nursery rhymes. It’s a little long (just under 3 minutes) but it really is cute. She has [...]

Ahh, week 39. One week until the due date. I had a doctor appointment yesterday and the nurse said, encouraged, that I was at a “solid 2cm” now. Ummm, thanks. I was kind of hoping for a solid 4cm or maybe even a 5! I guess I’ll take what I can get at this point. [...]

I am EXHAUSTED! So very exhausted. This week has worn me out. I have been cleaning, doing laundry, making & freezing meals for after the baby is born, and getting stuff ready for Easter. And did I mention that my babysitter is gone on Spring Break this week? We are all super excited to have [...]

Yesterday was the first day of Spring, which was super exciting because I’m very ready for Winter to be over with. I loved seeing the snow melt this past week and the birds return (which Abbi really loves). Then today happened and my yard is now covered in snow. Michigan weather, like it or not, [...]

Today was the day during my pregnancy with Abbi that I went into labor — the day after I hit my 37 week mark. I don’t foresee going into labor tonight but you never know Since I wasn’t in labor today I treated myself to some pregnant pampering — haircut, color, brow wax, and pedicure. [...]

I completely forgot to mention the incident that happened while I was at the doctor yesterday. I was at the doctor this week by myself because, well, I really didn’t want to subject Abbi to my pelvic exam. So, I scheduled the appointment while Angela was here babysitting. Abbi already likes to come home (after [...]

I had my an appointment with my OB this morning where she did a pelvic exam to determine how I’m progressing. (Sorry, I should have warned you that this post could get graphic.) Apparently the baby has dropped, I am 30% effaced, and the baby is at the -2 station. All that to say, the [...]

Staying at home 90% of my time with a toddler (and soon to add an infant to that mix) makes me really enjoy my time that I get to play around on the web. A good portion of that time is spent in social networking. Yes, I have a MySpace page (although I have moved [...]

With officially 4 weeks left until my due date, we had another ultrasound done yesterday. My OB wants to check the current size of the baby to make sure a natural delivery would be feasible for me. She apparently has doubts regarding me pushing out a 9+ pound baby. I must say, I’m right there [...]
