Dreams

I had a dream last night. My four-year-old (in the dream) niece was pregnant, and ready to give birth any day. And my entire family was going on the Oprah show because of it. I even got a glimpse of my niece patting her belly. It was horrifying.When I was […]

Being Almost 34 Weeks Pregnant

It’s official. I can’t wear my wedding ring anymore. Like, ever. Better find a pawn shop. Ha! Just kidding! When I was pregnant with the big two, I got so swollen in the middle of the nine(ten) months that I couldn’t wear shoes, let alone my wedding ring. But with […]

Why I Heart Red and Pink

T. knows the way to my heart. Through my stomach. My gigantic, baby-filled stomach. Here’s the current state of my stomach at about 33 weeks:Okay, so the baby is NOT in my stomach, but you know what I mean. With a baby comes a BIG appetite.And this is what I […]

I Heart Red and Pink

What is better than waking up on a Saturday morning and reading an email that you won a giveaway?! Carmie over at thesinglenester.com held a giveaway to celebrate her blogging anniversary and her follower milestone, and I won! She has such a great blog, you should definitely check it out. Her […]

Dear Bean,

You are scheduled to arrive in about 41 days. Hopefully, you won’t come any sooner than that, because as excited as we are to meet you, the beauty of having your birth scheduled is that we won’t go into it unprepared. And right now, I’m unprepared!I’ve been working hard to […]

Christmas #4 (Better Late Than Never)

Super Bowl Sunday

This is what I did during Super Bowl Sunday. I made Bean’s car seat quilt! I thought, for a minute, of moving a folding table and the sewing machine into the living room so that once the game (and commercials) started, I could watch and sew at the same time. […]

Vacation

In my last post, I mentioned Cancun. If you live in Kansas or the midwest or have a TV, you probably know that there was a “blizzard” last week, aka “snowmaggedon”. If you know T. and I, you know that we’ve been planning our last-ditch, still-a-family-of-five, kids-free, better-late-than-never honeymoon for […]

Some Other Things…

So, I made a list yesterday of things I had to get done before March 24, when we will be getting up BRIGHT and EARLY to head to the hospital and have our fourth child. Of course, I thought of more things I needed to do…and maybe if I have […]

The Date Is Set!

So, I went to the doctor today, and I guess I’m just about 31 weeks along now. My doctor had called the hospital and scheduled the c-section that will bring Baby Bean into this world! That date will be….drum roll please….March 24! With all of the crazy new zodiac stuff […]
