My Day

bad-day

Went to Apple store to exchange brand new Thunderbolt Display that stopped working. Apple store is 30 miles away. Drove around trying to find a parking spot close to the part of the mall where the Apple store is located. Found one. Waited. Lady stole it. Parked across the parking lot from desired spot. Lady who stole spot walks past me, all the while I’m {Read More}

The Story of Evie

If I heard “walk that baby out” one more time I was going to lose it. I had tried everything, nothing worked. If it’s a form of natural labor induction, I tried it. Trust me. I walked for hours, hours. At 40 weeks I finally had to quit walking because it was causing me more pain than anything. I had been having “false labor” for {Read More}

Guess what? We have been busy around here, and I’m loving it. It’s as though I looked up at the calendar and realized I’ll have a baby in less than two months. Normally I would want things to slow down so we can soak it all in and enjoy life (all that good stuff), but I have a growth the size of the moon protruding {Read More}
