I’m feeling very blessed today. Uncomfortable? Yep. Exhausted? Yes. In fact, anytime I start doing something (like looking at the pictures we took yesterday), I get incredibly drowsy (could be the Percoset). But also grateful, content, blessed? Absolutely.Our new bundle, Ervin (named after his daddy’s maternal grandpa) arrived via c-section […]
This is a post that I got an idea for from this gal and her idea bank of blogging topics. I’ve just recently discovered her and her blog on twitter, and she is highly entertaining (and obviously, helpful). I highly recommend checking out her site.So, each of my four kids […]
Holding your newborn in your arms for the very first time and FINALLY getting to see that little face after nine(ten) months of imagining it.The first few days of a baby’s life, when you keep discovering things about that baby because he’s been so tightly swaddled since he was born…that […]

I went to the doctor yesterday (with all three kids, by the way…and you know, it wasn’t horrible), and my nurse said, as we were walking down the hall: “13 more days! But who’s counting?” Actually, up until then, I wasn’t. Or at least, not in days. It’s a little […]
