As you can see…I never got around to my blogging extravaganza during maternity leave because…little Emma decided to come early! It’s weird. When I envisioned my labor I imagined crying (because I’m a super weepy person) but when they put this little person on me after she came out I didn’t really feel anything. It [...]

I’m obsessed with reading birth stories. Here is a collection of them written from famous bloggers around the web. My favorite ones were Dooce’s and Finslippy’s. These were laughing out loud funny to me. I also noticed that most birth stories contain a moment of wishing for death at some point. ugh! This one from [...]

Remember when I used to post every weekday?? Well I’ve decide while I am on maternity leave to resurrect the good ole days of this website until at least the baby comes. We’ll see how long she gives me! ;) I’m still undecided about the format of my daily posts but I think there might [...]

It finally hit me when I found out a girl I know who is also pregnant and due in May just had her baby yesterday…there is going to be a little person in our family soon! Up until now, I was not really scared or nervous because I was so miserable being pregnant that anything [...]

I loved this…we needed diapers! Favor table. I loved the glassine envelopes my sister sewed with the most beautiful elephant cookies inside. My sister [...]

In my attempt to bring back my “creative” side, I signed up for this e-course about art journaling. It provides 52 prompts/themes you can use as inspiration for your journal pages. I really miss blogging and feel like I should be writing more during this important time of my life. Perhaps this will help! The [...]

Honestly, 2011 has been a complete blur. I barely remember the first half and am just consumed with the fact that I was pregnant and miserable the last half. In fact, I am sitting here on my bed feeling completely nauseous with an unbearable pressure in my throat (heartburn?) and a sore tailbone. I’m SO [...]

Wow. Has it really been since october since I last updated? Remember when I used to blog practically everyday? Boy, have things changed. And I am not just talking about my blogging habits… yup….there’s a baby bot growing inside me! it still freaks me out to think about it. This ultrasound was only at about [...]
