When I was pregnant with my first child I had so many expectations. I spent several hours reading “What to Expect When You’re Expecting”, the book that most mothers who see those two pink lines for the first time, consider the pregnancy Bible. I eagerly anticipated the emails that entered my inbox every week, comparing…
Baby Love – Rockin’ the Baby
We went to church with our friends this morning, while here in Texas. (Did I tell you the kids and I drove over for the week, without the Daddy part of our family? Yeah, we did…) As we sat down I noticed the tiny newborn in the baby carrier in the pew in front of us. She…
My 6 Month Sweetie
To my Katie-Boo, Tweety Bird, Sweet Sweet- This morning your Daddy brought you to me in bed. As we laid next to each other, face to face, you “talking” to me, I studied your baby face. I kissed your sweet button nose and stared into your sweetest of sweet blue eyes. I lightly touched your…
WW – Reality
Some days it’s as if I dreamed her. But no, she’s really here, she’s really mine, she’s really so wonderful. What a fabulous reality check. Already five months old (as of yesterday). “My beauty.”
4 Months, 6 and Half Days & Some Hours and Minutes
As I hold my 14lb. 2 oz. baby girl or when she stretches out her 25.25″ inch little body, it’s a kinda hard to believe that 4 months (and then some) has already passed. In some ways it feels like less time since she became part of our family and it’s like we are still…
You Capture – Faces
My Favorite Faces… I love them all but this last one is my favorite. I was in awe that he was still for that long for me to take this beautiful picture. P.S. I LOVE my camera. P.P.S. Yes, I know two of the pics are cut off on the sides. I tried the new…
38 Weeks is a LONG Time
I kinda felt like just hiding in the shadows yesterday. The only reasons I left the house was to pick The B Man up from school and return a DVD from the library, all in one trip. I showered late and didn’t eat very much. There’s not that much room left. My body is tired…
Just A Reminder
This is a little video of The B Man (my first baby who is now almost through with 2 weeks of Kindergarten) when he was a day old. It has no sound so don’t think that you are losing it (your ability to hear, that is) when you don’t hear anything. I just had to…
Messy Independence
Little G has always been an independent eater. When he was an infant I tried feeding him baby food with a spoon and that lasted maybe 2 weeks. Let’s just say I was tired of washing it off of and out of everything. Including my own hair. So…. by 7 or 8 months I was…
Mother’s Day, Every Day
Right now it seems like every day is Mother’s Day, or at least “Mothering” day. Oh, and it is and… even though it can have it’s moments of craziness and disorganization and true tiredness (is that a word?), it’s all worth it and simply makes my life more joyous and full! Tim is such a…
