We loved this little life when she was just an idea, a hope, and to have her here now is absolutely incredible. For the details: Zoe Amanda was born February 14, 2007 at 2:51 PM weighing 7 pounds, 7.5 ounces and measuring 19.75 inches. She is healthy and gorgeous and we adore her. Everything went [...]
We’re having a baby tomorrow! As one of my friends said, it’s a little surreal to know exactly when your little one is arriving. It has allowed me to prepare quite a bit (a.k.a. let my OCD run rampant) more than if I were just waiting. Honestly if Saturday came and went I might get [...]
The baby daddy is refusing to take any more pictures of me (which I think is unfair seeing as how he did this – I wouldn’t be unhappy with my face if I hadn’t gained 28 pounds), so this is what we have for tonight. Three more days till Zoe!
Though my husband is capable of many mental and physical feats of strength, we were unable to watch the much-anticipated new episode of LOST last night because he was “tired” and didn’t “want to stay up until 10″ – I don’t know what that’s about.

So we’re calling him five years old today. They’re mostly good dogs, and I’m happy to have them. For their special day they got a trip [...]
The crib arrived last night! It was two days earlier than I thought it would be, so that was nice. We’ll probably put it together tonight. Yesterday I took advantage of some major coupons I had and got a few last-minute things for the baby that I know will be useful right away (like wipes, [...]
Finding a comfortable sleeping position these last few weeks has been a challenge, but I have had some success with a combination of extra pillows, a husband, and pets; I consider the following to be optimal: Chief is back support, Joel aligns the hips, and pillow supports the belly. Sarge doesn’t do much for structure, [...]
For many months now, my sister Amanda has been running her little legs off with the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s Team in Training program. She will complete the ING Georgia Marathon (that’s 26.2 miles, to clarify!) this March 25 in Atlanta. I am so proud of and inspired by her dedication to her training – [...]
