What Happens When Your Child Asks About Their Deceased Sibling?

Most parents are concerned about emotional and physical development when it comes to their children - when's the right time to talk about the birds and the bees? How to handle menstruation concerns? How to deal with male puberty? Some parents take it a step further and try to map out their child's financial future - will there be enough money for college? Do we have enough savings? Are they

I Should Have a Four Year Old

I should be planning a birthday party. I should make sure the cake is made just right. It might be Paw Patrol one. It might be Thomas & Friends. I should have the numerous gifts picked out because although Christmas was just a short time ago, a birthday only comes once a year. I should have local Mom friends who I regularly meet for coffee because we met at the

Future Baby Mama…Soon?

It's about that time. To TTC. I'm currently on CD 9 and I'll start tracking my ovulation in a couple of days. Ideally, I would've already been pregnant with Rainbow Baby #2 and possibly, would've given birth. Life is funny that way. You have an idea of how you want things to go and oops, not quite. I'm excited. The more round preggo tummies I'm seeing, the more I want to be

Be Alright

[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cPfhyfaJgGs&w=420&h=315]) What a difference a year makes. I'm typing this post with a semi-sleepy Yoda on my boob. I'm sure you wanted to know that but you can't deny I've been honest for this long so why hold back now? A year ago, I found out I was pregnant and I remember I had a flurry of emotions go through me. The biggest emotion was relief. We were trying for a

For those wondering, Future Baby Mama is the title of a Prince song. I love Prince. Have you ever seen him perform in concert? Ah-mazing!

I’m Lovin’ It – Yoda at Week 38*

Yep. Still preggo. Just waiting for Yoda bear to choose his birthdate.  As I wait, let's check to see how he's doing. According to babygaga.com: Stuck in a holding pattern The final fat details are being rounded off before your rocket-baby's big launch onto planet earth and into your arms. For one, your adorable poop-factory's meconium stockpile is growing (are you ready for that historical first tarry black poo?) as their baby fat

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-AphKUK8twg&w=420&h=315] I'm sure I used that title before. Today I had my cerclage removed. It was an eventful day. Let's count the struggles... My MFM's office usually calls the day before an appointment to confirm. I didn't get receive a call yesterday but I didn't pay too much attention to it and just thought it was an oversight. Heh. Note to everyone - if a doctor's office usually calls to remind you

Outstanding

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rSLGFL3Xa30&w=420&h=315] Tomorrow is the big day. The day I get my cerclage removed. It's cray-cray to think that back in May, I posted about how nervous I was to get the cerclage implanted. Then I posted about how my recovery was going. Now I'm posting on the eve of its removal. I never thought I would make it this far. Not that I was expecting the same thing that happened to Ethan to

I’m Lovin’ It – Yoda at Week 37*

Yes, I'm still preggo. I can still see my feet. I can still move reasonably. But it's still a struggle to get out of bed or turning over. If I stretch my legs, I'm risking a leg cramp and I've had a few already. But the end is near. Praise Jesus. Let's check to see how Yoda bear is doing...according to babygaga.com: If you haven't yet delivered, you've reached the calm before

Future Baby Mama

You know, I really need to start being more timely with these posts. I'm totally slacking. :P   Those are my new (read: expensive) glasses. I haven't updated my glasses since high school (seriously) and my contacts in five years. Well, my vision hasn't changed that much in terms of my contacts, but I'm sure they've changed pretty drastically with my glasses. M calls me his hipster wife. I wear that
