Missing: My Lap
Yesterday, Olivia asked me, \”Did the baby take away your lap?\” Yep. I know both kids can\’t wait until there is some room for them to sit on my lap again:) Bookmark on Delicious Recommend on Facebook Share on Linkedin Share with Stumblers Tweet about it Subscribe to the comments on this post Tell a [...]
Evenflo's "Brand" of Customer Support
Sticky fingers won and suddenly I have a magician or two that can make the irreplaceable, forever disappear. A small metal piece from an Evenflo highchair was lost in the process of cleaning the seat cover and straps. I contacted Evenflo for a replacement part. It turns out that one cannot replace much with Evenflo. [...]
Boy or Girl???
I wonder… My friend came over yesterday and gave me a foot massage and pedicure. We decided to put a blue flower one one toe and a pink flower on the other. What will it be??? I notice that those who know me/my family think it will be a girl. Those I meet out-n-about think [...]
Goodness…
I have been so blessed lately by the goodness and love of friends. I have made it no secret that this pregnancy has brought a significant amount of pain and discomfort. I think I\’ve been a bit too vocal, thus whiny, but my my friends have taken it and have blessed me with rest and [...]
Breathe!
Contractions. Irregular. Uncomfortable. Saw my doc today, and she said I\’m dilated to 1.5. I thought I\’d be closer to a 7, given the past few days! Not so much!

Olivia the Inductive Reasoner
You are only a few months away from your third birthday, and are as sharp as a tack. You talk or sing almost ALL OF THE TIME. Joel often asks why you talk all the time:) You regularly refer to yourself as a princess and ofetn say things are \”pretty for me\”. You love to [...]
Shift of Focus
Just awhile ago I created a whining post about my pregnancy discomfort. I then went to read a few blogs. Isn\’t it funny how Tish wrote about pregnancy. I needed a refreshisng perspective to help me work through these next several weeks! Lovely post Tish! Bookmark on Delicious Recommend on Facebook Share on Linkedin Share [...]
FIRE! … TIMBER!
The recipe for Mississippi Mud Cake said to brown the marshmallows, not set them on fire. Oops. I smelled something burning – the marshmallows! I ripped open the oven to find my 9×13 pan covered in flames! Being the \”bright\” and \”calm in disaster\” type of person that I am, I blow the flames. Yeah, [...]
Warning: Whining
I have approximately 6 weeks to go. I feel MIS ER A BLE! Oh my goodness. I had a hunch the last trimester would be uncomfortable (the third time around), but I wasn\’t prepared for this. My stomach feels as huge as the day I delivered the first two, but I still have 6 weeks. [...]
My Big Helper
Tuesday I was soooooo tired. I desperately needed a nap. I put Livi down for her nap, and let Joel play Star Wars on the XBox. I woke to Joel\’s feet running to the bathroom, and the full strip down of clothing began. That means poop. Poop requires parental intervention — i.e. I gotta get [...]
