One of the questions I get pretty frequently is if I plan for Liv to eat the same way I do. Tom and I have talked about this a little bit, but it’s always been understood that she’ll eat like he does: whatever we have or I cook at home, and whatever else we may…

Oh my….. April Fools! Another one would be a blessing, but we’d like to wait a little while 😉 Hope you’re having a happy Sunday <3

-Really, BabyBump App? I’m 52 weeks pregnant! -When I kiss Liv on the cheek, she turns her face towards me and licks my cheek. Her version of a kiss, I guess 🙂 -She also started to realize that everyone loves it when she smiles… so she smiles, mouth wide open, all the time. It’s the…

“Wee one” = something I’d never say in real life, but I like typing it. Kinda like “y’all” 😉 Thank you so much for all of your awesome comments on my last post. I always love to hear about your experiences, because everyone is different and different things work for different families. Goes to show…

When a baby started growing in my belly, my brain disappeared to make room. I locked us all out of the house this morning. That’s a half-smile. I felt horrible 🙁 I always check the bottom handle of the door to make sure it isn’t locked, and today was the one time I didn’t. Thank…

[My last post about sleep for a while, I promise! It’s a valuable commodity, though, and wish I would have read more about sleep routines and tips while I was pregnant] It still mystifies me that babies fight sleep. Someone tells me to go to sleep… um, twist my arm. Goodnight 😉 Even though we…

Another long, but at the same time too short, amazing week <3 -Friday has become Eclectic Cafe day with the girls over here. Two weeks ago, we met Kelly, Meara and their babies, last week it was Meg and Marisa, and today with Cheri. We usually sit on the patio, Liv either snoozes on me,…

We had a major sleep victory over here two nights ago: Livi slept through the night! I thought my eyes were messing with me when I heard her start to cry to let us know she was awake, because SUNLIGHT was peeking through the blinds. Sun! Morning! I picked her up out of her bassinet,…

Well, well, look at the little friends 🙂 You’ll be the smallest one in the house again pretty soon here, Bell 😉 I thought I’d write a little update about Bella and Livi, since a few of ya have asked if it’s still going well. (The first update, a couple of weeks after we brought…

-We had some fun setting up the video monitor last night. After making faces at each other over the little camera, I was upstairs brushing my teeth and I get a text from Tom saying “I’m watching you” I walked back in the bedroom to see the camera following me around the room! Creeptastic. -I…

Thank you so much to those of you who entered the Baby K’Tan giveaway! I was cracking up reading your funny stories… they were hilarious. Here’s the winner: It totally reminded me of the scene from Four Christmases (I love that movie, can ya tell?) where the mom says “when he hurts inside and can’t…

It’s been quite a day over here. Liv hasn’t had a single long nap –I’m scared for what tonight will be like because when she naps well, she sleeps well and vise versa- she’s on outfit change #4 and I’m on #3. We’re still trying to get her to have one long nap in the…
