Good This month has been blessedly busy. I'm so glad I've had stuff to do to keep me from focusing too much on the fact that I'm waiting for a baby. Ben had his spring break last week and it was so nice to have him home. I feel like I got a ton of … Continue reading March 2018
Belly: I'm huge. Well, technically I'm measuring right where I should be. But I feel huge. Exercise: I'm still running! Which is a huge miracle! Okay, and "running" is certainly not the most accurate term for what happens after I strap on my Sauconies. It's more of a waddle/jog (a joggle?). I don't go far and I walk if … Continue reading Third Trimester: 37 Weeks
Good This month has been really chill. When I started brainstorming my GBomb, I thought, "What did happen in February?" And I'm just going to count that in and of itself a good thing. So Wendy has been saying words for awhile now, but pretty much only if she's prompted. But the other day she finished … Continue reading February 2018
Good Ben didn't start school until after MLK Jr. Day so we had a few weeks to just kind of relax and spend time more time with each other than normal. We took advantage by going to the Out of Africa Park and on hikes and just taking it easy. It was really nice. We … Continue reading January 2018

I mentioned it in my last post, but I just feel the need to say it again: I am no professional in sewing, pattern drafting or teaching! I dabble and … Continue reading DIY Wrap Dress: Sewing

Somehow I'm already 27 weeks which means that, come Saturday, I will officially be in the third trimester! Super crazy! Here's how Trimester Two went: Belly? I mentioned it last time, but I seriously feel super huge this time around (which I think is directly related to my lack of belly pics this trimester). On instagram … Continue reading Second Trimester: 27 Weeks
Sorry, guys, about the hiatus in posting! It seems like I'm most consistent with posting when Ben is in school...but when he has breaks, I just can't be trusted to post regularly! In any case, here's how our December went: Good Ben presented/defended his thesis at the beginning of the month which means that he … Continue reading December in Review
Good I had 2 doctor appointments this month (just check-ups) and both were great-baby seems to be healthy and growing. We also had our ultrasound this week and we were shocked to find out that we are having another GIRL! I was 99.8% sure that it was a boy. We are totally excited and I'm … Continue reading November
Well, guys...we have some big and exciting news... I'm pregnant! I know what you are thinking and the answer is that we are straight up crazy because this pregnancy was planned. I repeat: this was not an accident. Ha! I will say, though, that planning to get pregnant and actually getting pregnant are two very different things. … Continue reading Something New…
