Baby L is as big as a pineapple! You guys, I feel increasingly incredulous every week when I look up how big baby is. At first, it seemed like it took for-ever for baby to grow, but now it seems that he/she is doubling in weight and size every few weeks! I can hardly keep up, …
One of the questions we get asked the most is: are you going to find out if baby is a boy or a girl? We have elected to keep baby’s gender a surprise, so I thought it would be fun to work through a bunch of the old wive’s tales out there that boldly promise to …
We are so excited to travel to… Our babymoon! Many of you made guesses as to where the sandy beach was that we would be headed to in a few weeks. Some of you guessed Florida, Oregan, Maine, and Hawaii! All would be excellent places to visit, but we will not be heading to any of …
Well, hello there, 24 week bump! This has been a busy week! Four very significant things have happened in the past seven days: The bump finally appeared One of the most frustrating parts of this pregnancy so far is having to deal with all the comments regarding the fact that it has taken me so …
I am loving pregnancy, these days. I have finally hit the golden age of my pregnancy. I have my energy back, my gross symptoms are at an all-time low, and my belly isn’t large enough to be an issue yet. If I could just hang on to this feeling for the rest of the pregnancy …

I was nervous walking into it, because this was the first time that we would be getting a peek at baby on the inside. What if there was something wrong …
This pregnancy is really starting to feel real. Maybe it is the fact that my stomach is starting to feel larger, maybe it is because I passed the half-way mark (how did that happen?!), maybe it is because summer is just around the corner (and I equate summer with BABY). Whatever the reason, I am …
I am officially half way through my pregnancy! Wahoo! This baby is half baked. Only two more weeks until our first ultrasound, four more weeks until viability, and twenty weeks left to be pregnant. This has been a really good week. About half a week ago, I woke up one morning with tons of energy, …
Who knew that making body butter could be so easy? For the past six months, I’ve been on the lookout for a natural lotion or body butter. Hubby has perpetually dry skin (Polynesian skin + Nebraska weather doesn’t mix too well), and with my growing bump, I’ve been moisturizing like never before to try to avoid …
Spring is finally here! As I write this, baby is kicking away in my tummy, our patio door is propped open, and the birds are singing. Spring has finally sprung!
