Making my kids hate me one post at a time.
This past week was a time of milestones for my boys. Meyer hit 33 weeks gestation (even though he’s gestating in an incubator now) and according to BabyCenter, became a pineapple weighing in at 4 pounds. He’s starting to look more like a baby and less like some skinny, wrinkly old man alien. When I […]
A few days ago, I was caught up in yet another game of what I like to call Hide(ish) and Seek(ish) with Asher. Playing this game is not hard, depending upon what you consider hard. Finding him is hard only in the sense that I have to waste some time pretending not to see him […]
On Thanksgiving morning, I came down the back stairs at my in-laws house to find my mother-in-law frosting cupcakes in the kitchen.

I love […]
Now that I’m at almost 15 weeks along, I’m in that stage where my stomach is just big enough to be poochey but not big enough that people will think I’m pregnant. Also there are the other ten pounds I’ve gained just because being pregnant makes me really, really hungry. In other words, I just […]
