nursery pregnancy baby overdue

When I first went to my sweet midwife a few months ago and was very sick and on bedrest for pre-term labor, she teased about getting me so healthy and “blissfully pregnant” (her exact words… seriously) that I would make it to 40 weeks 1 day pregnant.  Monday was my due date.  I’ve never made [...]

Where the Angels Delight to Come

July 14, 2010

For the past few weeks this quote has been on my mind: “Progress, and improve upon and make beautiful everything around you.

Something I Love for My Family

May 28, 2010

A few weeks ago one of my really good friends, Kelly, was telling me more about doTerra essential oils.  Since I’m pregnant and we don’t have insurance (paying for our medical care with cash), I was VERY interested, especially as she told me about how using pure, essential oils can replace your entire medicine cabinet.  [...]

Things that Rock (& Things that Rock in a Cradle)

May 25, 2010

Pregnancy is a piece of cake.  Seriously, pregnancy is the easiest thing in the world (sarcasm intended).  Perhaps it’s because this is my 5th pregnancy (4th baby) and I’m a bit older than I used to be, but… let’s just say I’m really noticing that I’m pregnant.  In fact this morning I got up and [...]

Today marks my first day of my 22nd week of pregnancy.  According to my “What to Expect” iPhone ap, my baby is as big as a spaghetti squash (I love this ap!).  I’m more than half-way through my pregnancy.  I can’t believe it.  This time I feel like my emotions are in a lot more [...]
