Well Thursday was my official due date, and thursday has came and left..

39 weeks!

Oh man oh man….I am so close to meeting this little (or not so little) man in my belly that seems to be a full time gymnast. Last night I started tackling my editing list and woke up early to get ready so that I could work right away after taking Charley to school.  I woke up … Continue reading

Baby’s first pics

I had fought with myself on if I was going to have an ultrasound or not since I knew that I wanted it to be a surprise on what we were having, because the baby’s heart was great, and everything was measuring fine.  But, one day I just told Dave, “Oh yeah, I made an … Continue reading
