Abbi’s imagination and ability to grasp ideas sometimes astounds me. And how she is able to remember things. I wish I had her memory. Despite the fact that she is pushing boundaries and experimenting with having a “say-so” in life (aka. sassing and talking back), I am loving this stage. She loves to make up [...]

Well, I went through with the three-hour glucose test that my OB wanted. I was really dreading having to sit in the clinic waiting room for three hours in uncomfortable chairs, bored out of my mind, not being able to leave. However, it pleasantly turned out better than I had thought. The nurse was super [...]

After that depressing post I thought I would give some happy news about the third (and FINAL) trimester! After all, this is going to be my last pregnancy and I do want to revel in the amazing and wonderful moments as well.This child is so active. I remember Abbi being active but just shoving her [...]

Some days I feel like a really bad mom.

Could be partially that I’m still fighting this cold/sinus stuff and that I just have no energy. I cannot wait to go see my chiropractor next week. He always seems [...]

Since Saturday night Tim and I have both been dealing with jacked up sinus. Every few minutes one of us sniffles or tries to clear our throats. And, of course, Abbi decides to mimic it every time. I that is partially why I am so tired and feeling run down lately. Not because I have [...]

We had a pretty low key New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day. NYE we hung out with Tim’s parents, had dinner, played the Wii, and played a game. I finally kicked them out at 11:30pm so I could get ready for bed, kiss my husband at midnight and go to sleep. Being pregnant, one [...]
