I love getting good deals. Even more, I love free stuff! So I was super psyched when I read about this deal on another blog (can’t remember which blog). Here’s the scoop: This is a little case for your iPod (or any MP3 player) that is a small portable speaker. The case is small yet [...]

Tim is gone most of this week at a conference down in Indy. Was I completely out of my mind when I said, “Of course you can go to the conference. Zoe will be three weeks old by then. I should be fine taking care of the girls by myself for a few days.”? I [...]

A few weeks ago I posted on Twitter that I had created some t-shirts for the girls. Well, they finally got to wear them and below are some pictures. The story behind them: I bought Tim a DiggNation t-shirt (something he’s been wanting) as a “woo hoo, we’re having another kid” gift. I wanted to [...]

So, the chances of me winning “Mother of the Year” anytime soon is pretty much laughable! The combination of adjusting hormones, lack of sleep, and nonexistent nutrition leaves me cranky and short-tempered most days. My worst time is during those late night/early morning feedings. I know you’re probably saying, “treasure those feedings and that time [...]

Throughout the pregnancy I was a little concerned how Abbi was going to do when Zoe actually arrived. She’s had mom and dad all to herself for the past 2 years. Was she actually going to let another little being come in and take some of the spotlight? Would she act out? Regress? Want to [...]

I only have a minute to write but I didn’t want to totally neglect the blog, which I have shamefully been doing. Right now Abbi is outside playing with Miss Angela and Zoe is just waking up from her nap. We have Zoe’s 2 week check-up this morning so I need to get her fed [...]

I was very fortunate not to experience any postpartum depression with Abbi and, so far, I’m not feeling any depression this time around either. I count myself very fortunate regarding this because I know that it does plague some women in a very bad way. I did, however, experience quite a bit of guilt after [...]

I finally updated Zoe’s page with the story of her birth. However, that would be the ‘G’ rated version. Here is the ‘not so G’ rated version.Even though this is my second child it really felt like my first time giving birth. Abbi’s birth lasted 36+ hours (my first born). It was a long and [...]

That’s right!! I am no longer pregnant! We gave birth to Zoe Grace this morning at 2:03. You can see pictures and read the details here.Nineteen hours later and we’re all doing well. Tim is wonderful and has been doing everything. He really is amazing. Abbi likes her new sister, so far, but is not [...]

Here is a quick update from my OB appointment this morning. First let me tell you that my husband is absolutely wonderful because he stayed home from work today so he could go to the appointment with me. I wasn’t sure if my OB would tell me today at the appointment that I would be [...]
