8 months! Seriously? This month brought more trips and another plane ride for Emma. She has become quite the jetsetter! I’m so happy she has been such a great traveler for us. We have one more trip planned this year but it’s not until August. I wonder if we can squeeze in another trip until […]

I used to think I wasn’t much of a baby person and that I couldn’t wait til she was a toddler or a small kid more. But now I think I know why people love the baby stage so much. It’s the stage when you can do no wrong, they don’t talk back, and they […]

Did you ever watch Jimmy Kimmel’s Halloween video last year? The one where he had parents tell their kids that they ate all of their halloween candy and to film their reactions? Well he did it again this year and the video is just as funny! Those kids at the end just kill me with […]

I can’t believe Emma is 5 months already!! I have a feeling I will be saying this with every update. They really do grow up so fast! She feels like such a part of our family. I barely remember a time when she was not with us. Although sometimes I am still shocked at the […]

Ugh…I’m supposed to be doing these every month but I keep lagging! Where does the time go… 2 more days until Emma is 4 months!!! Every day she is getting to be more fun and is starting to show us her personality. We are enjoying her so much. I can’t believe how much I love […]

Ok, I actually started this post last night but of course Emma wakes me up in the middle of it so now this is a day late. This is the story of our life now. I have to admit having a child definitely changes the dynamics of a relationship. We used to be able to […]

I was reading one of my favorite parenting blogs, hellobee, when I ran across this post called Reflections on Maternity Leave. Wow…I totally could have written this myself! This is exactly how I felt about maternity leave. For example: Maternity leave, however, wasn’t anything I ever expected it to be. Before having the baby, I […]

I can’t believe it but I have 1 more week before I go back to work. It did not hit me until tonight how very sad I am about this. In fact, I am tearing up just thinking about it. It’s so weird too because honestly if you had asked me 3 months ago, I […]

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 […]
