My heart breaks for her. I know in the overall scheme of things, this is not a tragedy. It’s not. It’s a perfectly natural, normal thing that every child must go thru. But it makes Jessie nuts, and she trudged out the door this morning, weeping and miserable because her tooth is really, really loose. …

I think I’m losing my mucous plug. Which is probably more info than you want – but hey, it’s my blog, right? 🙂 I’m incredibly delighted and the fact that it could still be weeks doesn’t diminish my excitement at all. According to my friends at google, active labor could start anywhere from hours to …

Family drama all over the place – and it’s a struggle to remember that this is my favorite time of the year. But it is, so I’m doing my best to just focus on my favorites. So here, in no particular order are things that make me particularly happy at this point in my life… …

Went into the hospital last night with contractions. I had been having them pretty consistently for four or five hours, every four to eight minutes and they hurt.

At Sam’s last physical, he had his vaccinations. I’m almost always the one who does physicals, and the shots – I don’t like them, it’s not fun to see my children get them, but I”m okay with it. I can hold them down and while I might tear up, I’m nowhere near as fragile about …

I’m still somewhat baffled by how LARGE my stomach has gotten in the past couple of days. In the past week, it’s like all of a sudden, the baby is just putting on all kinds of weight and growing like a madwoman. And I waddle. I’m still convinced that I’m going to be pregnant forever, …

Jess liked to be naked too, I guess, but not like this. She didn’t have much modesty – but liked clothes on her body. Sam literally would prefer to spend all his time sans clothing. We went thru a two week period when he was just naked all the time, and now I can mostly …
