M has never had his license, like ever. He has had his fair share of permits (which we’ll get to later). M has been in a few car accidents which I believe, has soured his want to drive. He was the passenger in all of them. Ever since we’ve

I’m Lovin’ It – Week 34*

I had a doctor's appointment on Friday and Yoda bear is still measuring ahead (he's 36 weeks) but my OB isn't too concerned. He's still predicting Yoda bear will be here the first week of November. I most certainly hope so. I do miss turning over without assistance.According to babygaga.com: Your amazing baby is on the move!Until now, your wee womb-squatter's been living fairly high up in your poor stretched-out

http://youtu.be/08tYrBCgXlU I started packing the hospital bag. I know it might seem early but at this point, I'm just not sure when I'll go to a doctor's appointment and be given the news that I should go straight to L&D. Do I think that'll happen? No. If anything, I'm pretty confident I'll still be pregnant until the last week of this month and from there, it's a crapshoot on when

http://youtu.be/0WUmlGiHHt4 This post is a continuation of some of the baby shower swag Yoda has received. It was quite a bit! Let's check it out: After doing much research, I couldn't decide which breastfeeding pillow I wanted - the Boppy or MyBrestFriend. I decided to go with the Boppy because a lot of my Mommy friends had it and highly recommended it. Unfortunately, I ended up receiving two Boppy pillows (the

This week's FBM post is another special one. It's a sneak peek from the maternity photo shoot. I'm really anxious to see the rest of the pictures. Our photographer (a high-school/longtime friend of mine) took 260 pics so I really can't wait to see which ones made the final cut!   This picture is pretty emotional for a number of reasons. You may have noticed our Molly Bear, Ethan, is centered

We got a great pic of him when he wasn't trying to cover his face with an arm. He officially has Mommy's lips. Oh dear. My son is going to be a heartbreaker. I need to get out the shovels and shotguns. Forget daddies being protective of their little girls;

Beautiful Boy (Darling Boy)

http://youtu.be/Lt3IOdDE5iA This is a letter I wrote to my son after the baby shower last Sunday.  Dear Yoda, Today was a big day. We had a baby shower in your honor. I finally revealed that I'm pregnant with you and received a lot of support and overwhelming love. I spoke of your brother and you. I decided that I really liked the name, Bogdan, and that will probably be your name when

This FBM post is special because I get to debut two pictures from the weekend. A few of you may have already seen these since I finally "announced" on Facebook and Instagram. (More on that in a later post). Here is a picture from my maternity photo shoot:   We were in my hometown of Palm Springs, CA. I specifically asked I wanted a photo where the mountains and palm trees were

I’m Lovin’ It – Yoda at Week 32*

I'm a day late and dollar short, but I had a super fun weekend. I'll post details on that later. For now, let's check in on Yoda Bear. According to babygaga.com: In the latest womb reports, your amazing baby has now developed sensitivity to temperature! Which means you’re likely to get a swift kick if you put a hot pad or bag of ice on your ginormous belly. For the Elton John lovers
