This is Where I Now Spend My Time

The past five weeks have gone by in a flash.  It’s amazing to me just how much time each day is spent taking care of this little one.  Truly, from the time I wake up until I go to bed my world revolves around this baby.  Which is why I’m glad that before he arrived, [...]

My Birth Story

It’s taken me three weeks to write this.  I think it has something to do with the sleepless nights, the hours spent holding a fussy baby, and the limited amount of time I have to do the basics (such as shower or use the bathroom).  But right this minute I have a little one snuggled [...]

Allow Me to Introduce…

Allow me to introduce the newest addition to our little family:  Henry Grant. He arrived Monday, February 8th (which was my actual due date) at 3:41 pm. Weighing in at 10.1 lbs. and measuring 22 inches, he is perfect in every way possible. The CPA got to hold him first. Then it was my turn. It was love at first [...]

The Quiet Book

I think it’s safe to say that most everyone has a special memory or keepsake from his/her childhood.   Mine is my Quiet Book.  It’s a book that my mother made for me before I was born so it’s technically older than I am (and that’s pretty old).  Considering that, it’s still in pretty good [...]

My Bags Are Packed, I’m Ready to Go…

Cause I’m leavin’, on a jet plane, don’t know when I’ll be back again… Oh wait, wrong song. I got confused for a moment because that is how I’ve felt this past week as I’ve packed my bags for the hospital.  It feels kind of like I’m getting ready for a trip, although it will be a [...]

I’m So Tired

Today I am 38 weeks pregnant.  9 1/2 months, 266 days, 95.0% through.  In other words, I could give birth at any moment now. That’s really good to know considering I’m tired.  Tired of getting up four times a night while I experience contractions and think “this is it!” (only to have the pains go away [...]

Beyond the Red Doors

Have you ever wondered what’s behind the red doors?  I’m referring to the red doors of the Elizabeth Arden Luxury Spa and Hair Salon, of course. I’ve heard of the famous red doors before and I’ve often passed them in various high-end shopping centers, but before yesterday, I had never glimpsed what lay behind them. Thanks to [...]

What Will Our Boy Look Like?

While putting together my baby shower a couple of months ago, my sister asked me if I had any baby pictures of the CPA and me.  I had plenty of me – no problem.  But it wasn’t until that moment that I realized I didn’t know what my husband looked like as a little boy. And [...]

Nursery Preparations

We live in a tiny, tiny house.   But we’re also very fortunate we have a second bedroom in this tiny house which, up until now, has been used as a guest room.  Actually, it’s been a lot more than that – it’s been home to my cat, and then our dog, and even to [...]

Saying Goodbye to 2009

Well my friends, it’s that time again – time to look at the year and see what has taken place.  This is actually one of my favorite posts because it gives me a chance to see that what, if anything, I accomplished during the year.  So here goes: January - The CPA and I were on [...]
