While at the post office waiting in line to send off the Thistle Hill package to Christina, this happened:
Christian: (From his perch on my hip) “Where’s Daddy?”
Maddie: (Pauses from pulling all the padded envelopes off the shelf) ” Daddy’s at work”
I almost started crying right there. I looked around at the other two people in [...]

I’m sorry my posting has been so infrequent. It usually drops off for me during the third trimester.
Can you believe it….She’s almost here! Last week at my midwife apt. she said, see you in two weeks. Two weeks?! We’re to that point already? She smiled, put her hand on my shoulder and said “Mary, we [...]

I feel like we have a newborn at home. We’re readjusting our schedules, totally clueless to what we should be doing, constantly trying out new scenarios, sleep is interrupted and I find myself being really grumpy and short during the day.
Why? Because Maddie is officially in her toddler bed now.

Hooray! I found the midwife I used with Christian! I have an apt scheduled for Monday and I can’t wait to see her! She only delivers at one hospital, so I guess that cuts out having to choose one

Maddie hasn’t crawled out of her crib since that first day! Whew! I just wasn’t ready for a night roaming toddler, even though you all gave me GREAT suggestions on how to transition. I’m sure I’ll use them at some point.
So why the sudden halt to new found freedom?
She was spanked. *Gasp*. [...]

I’m so excited and nervous….
Everyday when Dustin gets home from work we have “couch time”. It’s the time when we share our day with each other. Today Dustin’s eyes lit up as I started to tell him about my day. When I asked him why he was smiling so big he said “I look [...]
Pictures!

Not having a functioning digital camera seriously slows down the whole picture posting process! Why our camera is not working is just way to crazy and difficult to explain. It has something to do with one of these, a Sony camera, my husband, and the words “Look! I’m the camera eating amoeba!”.
Last week was [...]
