Brandon has started his long days with his summer conferences, so I’ve been blessed/cursed with lots of alone time for the next 5 weeks. Our anniversary is Wednesday and IF we’re lucky we’ll get to have dinner together.

Let’s see…Mom was here visiting all last week. It was great to have her here but it seems like last week went really fast. We ( Read more... )

Oh my goodness. Time is starting to speed up! Only 2 months left until our little boy is scheduled to arrive!

Things are really going to start flying by now, since Brandon starts Summer in the Son and Junior High Challenge next week. I won’t be seeing much of him for the next 6 weeks, and then it’ll be just about Baby Time!

We had two baby showers ( Read more... )

I think I might be updating too much now. Oh well ( Read more... )

A few people have asked how the interview with the prospective doula went last night, so I’m going to try to process it and write down my notes for myself and to share.
We had decided to meet at Bob Evans for dessert, so Brandon and I got there a few minutes early. She left me a voicemail that I didn’t hear until this morning saying that she was ( Read more... )

I have some updates from my last entry! Sometimes it feels like time is going really fast and other days it seems to just creep by. This seemed like a fast week.
We officially have a name for our little boy, but we aren’t sharing it until he arrives! We’ve told our immediate family, but that’s pretty much it. We’re really excited about it! I will ( Read more... )

We attended our ( Read more... )

Wow.  We are only 3 months away from our due date.  92 days to go.

Some days it just hits me.  Holy cow, our child is going to be in my arms in a very short time!

We’ve done some work on the house, getting ready for our little one’s arrival.  We painted the nursery, which had been covered in this hideous mural with forest creatures (complete with ( Read more... )

This update is a few days early, only because I've been thinking about this and need to get it out before I forget (darn pregnancy amnesia!).  I'll do a real update on Thursday.
I've been trying to come up with some good ideas for storing memories for the baby.  I want to start some kind of box or album or disc or something that will have newspaper ( Read more... )

I am so out of touch on what etiquette says about invitations to showers and such.

But I wanted to know if any of you are interested in at least getting an invitation to my baby shower, which will be June 7th (a Saturday) in Bristol, TN. Because you are all absolutely welcome to attend.

However, I don't have your addresses, nor do I know if you are ( Read more... )

I'm going to try to give a run-down of things that have happened since the last Update On the 8th ( Read more... )
