Our sweet baby girl made her debut on September 5, 2012 at 9:50 am. She weighed 7 pounds 2 ounces and was 19 1/2 inches long. We absolutely love her. We settled on Elizabeth Marjorie just a few hours after she was born. Much better than the 2 days we took to decide on Carson … [Read more…]
Waiting I had an appointment with my doctor yesterday. I’ll be honest with you. I was kind of hoping I wouldn’t make it to that appointment because I would have already had our baby. Well, no baby. So I went to my appointment and nothing had changed since last week. I was pretty bummed about … [Read more…]
I went to the doctor Tuesday. 2 cm dilated, 60% effaced and her head was low. You wanted to know all that, right? I’ll bet you did. As I have read many times and as I’ve been told by many people, that basically means nothing. It does mean that I’ll have a baby in the … [Read more…]
The Move We’ve successfully moved to the burbs! There are boxes left to be unpacked and stuff that still needs to find a home. I am still digging clothes for myself and Carson out of cardboard boxes. But we’re moved in enough for it to feel like we live here and aren’t just visiting. We … [Read more…]
This little girl is going to hate me when she’s older. I can just hear it now. “Mom (or she’ll be at that stage where she calls me by my first name), why did you write so much about Carson when you were pregnant with him and hardly ever write about me?”. “And you took … [Read more…]
Thanks to some Southwest vouchers that had been long lost until a few months ago, we took our first family vacation to South Padre at the end of June. We left on Saturday morning, flew to Harlingen, drove to Padre and came home on Monday night. It was a short trip but one we’ll remember. … [Read more…]
When I get behind in something, like this blog for example, it is hard to get caught up and so daunting in fact that I even find myself not catching up because there’s so much to catch up on. So, it has been hard to write this blog post and you must forgive me for … [Read more…]
As I write this post, Ben and Carson are on their way to the lake. I am home by myself with Ginger and it is strange. I was listening to music while I was frosting cookies for a baby shower I am helping to throw for a friend and more than once I thought, “I … [Read more…]
Carson is making the move from baby to a real little boy. His roly poly body (while still complete with belly bulge) is slimming out a bit. Shorts that a few weeks ago were struggling to button or snap closed are now fitting fine. He’s climbing up onto chairs and the piano bench so he … [Read more…]
And 4 days. I have a hard time taking pictures and writing a post in the same day, and this week there was a big gap between the two because I went to visit family and did absolutely no blog writing for 3 days. It was kind of nice not to have my laptop while … [Read more…]
