Fast Forward 52 Weeks
Not only (as of last Friday) is my baby boy 15 weeks old, but a year ago today is when we were flabbergasted to find out we were pregnant! Pulling the pregnancy test out of the trash can to find myself staring at not one, but two pink lines, left me stunned with disbelief. Fast forward 52 week...

Buzzing Bees
Hi, Internet peeps! Just wanted to drop a little line to say, "Hello!" Me and Brennan have been busy little bees this week getting our home spic-n-span and spring-beautified (I splurged on fresh flowers around the house) for some very special guests who are coming to visit us this weekend. If...

A Growing Boy
So Moos had her vet appointment yesterday. The diagnosis: we're still not sure. But this we do know: it's nothing serious at this point, which is a HUGE relief, and I am beyond thankful! There are some things we're pursuing and looking into, but for now, she's enjoying a new, more flavorful ...
I just stopped and prayed for this family.

D.E.A.P.
D.E.A.P.: an acronym some friends of ours living overseas came up with when they have an urgent prayer request. Drop Everything And Pray. That's what came to mind today after receiving a call from my Daddy about a dear family friend of ours who found out that he has metastatic lesions on his ...
Sounds like a perfect end to a perfect day! :)

One Fine Day
Yesterday couldn't have been more fine. I woke up with Brennan about 5 a.m. If you can believe it, the little guy had his first 8 hour stretch of sleep last Thursday...the same day as his first smile. (Will definitely post a picture of a smile when he's doing it consistently enough to have ti...
That first little smile is the sweetest! It made me smile just reading about it! :)

Smiles and Happy Tummies
Man, oh man. It's February and I have my baby solely in his diaper with the fan going. It's nearly 90 degrees here today. I'm sorry, but that's just wrong! I'm sweatin' bullets. On the upside, however, Brennan had his first smile today!! I received the delightful bit of sunshine about thre...
What a lovely post!

I've Been Painting Pictures of Egypt
Why is it that this is my first chance to blog in days and I find myself staring at the screen with my mind running blank as to what to write? If that's not frustrating, then I don't know what is! ARGH. 5 minutes of staring later... Before I forget to mention it, Matt and I watched a movie thi...

Hi, folks! Well, it might be until next week until Miss Julie has a chance to send me the pictures from last weekend. So to tide you over, here are a few of mine. But trust me, hers and Mac's are some definite keepers, and I can't wait to see them! In family news this week: I have a growing ...

If Labor was a Salsa, Mine Would Be Mild
After three weeks and much patience from my dear Internet peeps, I now present to you the story of Brennan's birth...a modest version so as not to scare anyone away from motherhood. As it is, if my story was salsa, it would be mild, so no need to get too wound up. First, if you didn't read my p...
Thanks for all the great links! You will be a GREAT mamma! You can hear in your own post how much you desire that already! :)

You'll Never Guess Where I Am
Well, what was supposed to be a quick, 7:30 a.m. doctor's appointment turned into a 2 hour visit and a most unexpected turn of events! Putting me on the fetal monitor showed that for the past 24 hours I guess I've been in early labor (I had contractions all day yesterday, but I couldn't ever pi...

For Some Football! Oh, was that cruel? I'm sorry. I just couldn't resist setting up the title as a little tease! I don't get to do that very often, so it was fun for me. Sorry that it had to be at my Internet peeps' expense. <chuckle> <big grin> But yes, time for some football! Anyon...

Mr. Tour de France in an OBGYN Office...Really?
Last Monday was a cold, wintry day in Austin. It was a perfect day to be bundled up in a sweatshirt, scarf and bulky coat. And definitely, a hat was needed. It was an ideal day to use the weather as an excuse to dress up incognito if you were, say, a celebrity. At 8:15 a.m., Matt and I walk...
I love those kind of gifts! They are the best! :) Very thoughtful!!!

I'm Lovin' Me Some Coupons
After a wacky week of weather vacillating from the high 30s to record highs in the 80s, Austin is finally settling back into our normal 60-degree weather today. The only pro I've been able to come up with for the 80 degree temperatures is that my use of flip flops on a December day isn't questi...
OMGOSH! What a weekend. I am so sorry about the water damage and I am thankful Matt is OK. You do have a good attitude about the whole mishap!! I hope you manage to have a nice Christmas!!!

The Demise of the Gingerbread House
Remember my beautiful gingerbread house that I made over Thanksgiving? I painstakingly made the pretzel fence for at least an hour, saturating baby Polka with salt as I broke off and ate parts of the pretzels and then dozed the little baby with sugar licking the icing from my fingers tryin...
