For all practical purposes, we are done having babies. Yes, I know that things can happen. I’ve heard the stories about your friend’s neighbor’s sister who got pregnant 10 years after they ‘thought’ they were done. But it would take an act of God or a big mistake on the urologist’s part for us to get [...]

I feel very lucky that, through all three kids, we never had a problem with Tummy Time. All three of my kids actually liked Tummy Time. But I realize this is not always the case! I’ve heard the horror stories. It then becomes a catch-22. Baby hates it and cries the whole time but you [...]

While I’m learning and networking with some oh-so-fabulous women this weekend at Gleek Retreat, check out some of these great posts…

When we found out I was pregnant with Talon (wow, it’s been almost a year since I took that test), I was so thankful we kept all of our baby stuff from the girls.  Most of our baby stuff was in pretty good shape and could certainly handle going through one more kid. That is, [...]

In the 40 weeks from conception to birth, your child-carrying body goes through an amazing amount of changes.  Some good — hello, thick luscious hair! — and some not so good — damn you, stretch marks!

Let’s clear the air. I am currently not pregnant and have no intention of getting pregnant.  As things stand right now we are not planning on adding to our family.  We are happily a (tired) family of five.  Plus one dog.  As a matter of fact, I have “schedule husband’s vasectomy” on my t0-do list. [...]

In the grand scheme of life, five years does not seem that long. At least it doesn’t feel that long. It was just over five years between when I gave birth to my first baby and this baby. And yet I’m amazed at how much has changed in the “child-rearing” realm in those five short [...]

Due to me having a C-section and Talon loosing more weight than the doctors thought was acceptable, we ended up staying in the hospital for three long and painful nights.  Most people would have looked at this as a little vacation (no extra kids running around, people bringing you your meals and cleaning up after [...]

As I sit and write this it has been 2 weeks, almost to the minute, since Talon was born.  Earlier this week I shared with you my thoughts and fears after hearing I would be having another C-section.  Today I want to share with you the reality of my C-section and the recovery. I was [...]
