Respected. Knowledgable. Partner.
Baby makes four. Whew! I don’t get worked up about the pregnancy or having a newborn by Christmas. It’s changing the number of people in our household that feels very real to me. Doubling the number of children in the house. Man-to-man defense. Yikes! We’re pretty laid-back at our house. Naturally, we haven’t spent a lot of … Continue reading Adding to the family
Week 23 Thursday, August 30 work outfit: Skirt (Motherhood), T-shirt (Not In Our Town), cardigan (Gap) It was a bit of a casual day for me. I participated in a community anti-bullying campaign called Not In Our Town. We were allowed to wear the shirts all day, but couldn’t wear jeans. Being that it was … Continue reading Maternity Monday
Some days it feels like a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day. No matter where you live. Yesterday appeared to be another normal day.

While being uber productive during my early morning hours, I scheduled a long overdue vet appointment for The … Continue reading My terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day

And I haven’t cleaned the mirror recently so you’ll notice toddler residue at that level. Tuesday, August 28 work outfit: Dress (Gap), Cardigan (Gap), … Continue reading Maternity clothes: Day 2
I decided long ago that if I ever got pregnant again I would spend some money on maternity clothes. The first time I didn’t want to. Essentially, I wore all the same shirts out of my normal wardrobe. Towards the end I was a little limited and I considered it a success every day I … Continue reading Adventures with maternity clothes
I am 16 weeks into this pregnancy and part of me feels like it just begun. I’m stunned and amazed that I have a pregnant belly and don’t understand how four months have gone so fast. I know it has a lot to do with the toddler who is two weeks shy of two years … Continue reading 16 weeks of pregnancy complete
It’s our first Maximus and baby story! He was laying on the floor with his feet propped up on the couch that Bryan was on. I couldn’t see anything besides his feet, but he kept saying “baybee,” over and over again. I asked Bryan why he was saying that and he pointed to the wall … Continue reading Maximus (the) baby
