We went this morning to hear the heartbeat of the little one growing inside of me.  Sure enough, he/she has a heartbeat.  Phew!  I also had to have my full exam but we won’t discuss that.  The nurse found the heartbeat right away.  So quickly, in fact, that Tim wasn’t quite ready with the video [...]

I was just telling Tim last night that I really wish I was more crafty.  He, being the good supportive husband that he is, tells me that I am crafty.  I think that is his “canned” answer anytime I bring things up. Me: “I wish I were more __________” Tim:  “Honey, you are ____________” I [...]

I had never planned on having a C-section with Abbi but, after 36 hours of labor and the doctor telling me that her head was too big to fit through my pelvis and her head was starting swell, I was really left with no other choice.  I know a lot of women decide to go [...]

I usually don’t do those self-surveys that I get every other day over email.  But, since I was “tagged” by Kim and it gives me a chance to brag up the husband,I figured I’d actually do one of these tag things.  Here goes: The game of tag about your man: 1. who is your man? [...]

I was a little worried about how Abbi would handle the arrival of a new baby in the house.  Since she’s not in daycare she does not have to compete for attention.  She pretty much has my undivided attention all day every day.  I watched our friend’s little baby the other day and Abbi seemed [...]

Last week Tim and I went to see Toby Keith at the county fair.  Don’t worry, I’m going to confirm every preconceived notion that you have of county fairs.  Tim’s brother-in-law scored free tickets to the concert through the military (yeah military) and, since he and Tim’s sister were celebrating their birthdays that night and [...]

Abbi is almost 22 months.  My baby is going to be turning 2 before I know it.  I say “baby” because she will always be my baby but she is certainly a toddler and even pushing being a “kid”.  I’m not so sure I was prepared for how quickly she would transition through these stages.  [...]

Tim’s going to kill me for writing this one so don’t be surprised if this post gets mysteriously deleted. We’ve been trying to make Abbi aware that pooping and peeing happens in the potty.  We’ll ask her when she passes gas if she needs to go poop, hoping she’ll say yes and sit on the [...]

Okay, you had to know that I would be posting about the whole Britney Spears thing sooner or later. First, her VMA performance.  I actually thought she looked pretty good for recently having two babies. No she did have her pre-baby body but she looks a hell of a lot better than me.  I think [...]

We’re pregnant!  Again!  Number two is well on his/her way.  And this pregnancy is so very different than when I was pregnant with Abbi.  I feel absolutely wretched this time around.  My pregnancy with Abbi was a dream pregnancy.  I was a little tired in the first trimester but only threw up twice (once due [...]
