Avelyn is finally old enough to be interviewed, so I thought I’d pull this out of the archives. I laughed out loud over and over again re-reading Kevin’s answers. I might do a follow up interview with him and the same survey later. If I recall this was very good for our marriage the first [...]

I know it seems like all I do is post these “Embrace the camera” posts anymore but honestly, I don’t have ONE SINGLE HOUR in the whole day to get anything done for myself so blogging really falls by the wayside. Add to that that when I do feel like writing something, it’s usually Thursday [...]

I turned thirty last Friday with very little fanfare. It was a total low key day spent just the four of us, and it was perfect. I’ve mentioned something about it here before and I’ll say it again, there is something magical about any birthday spent NOT having a cervical check. Just sayin’. But enough [...]

Maybe my body is so swollen I weigh more than when I got here. Maybe I’m so tired the word “bags” doesn’t even begin to describe my under eyes. Maybe I am about to lose my cool because the people on either side of my room have been whooping it up ALL DAY and I’ve [...]

I may have posted some pictures when Avelyn first started dance class last fall. (Yep, here they are.) We faithfully attended nearly every Saturday morning for months. It was so fun watching her, albeit a little frustrating at times, as she had a hard time paying attention and staying with the group. She was far [...]

Dear Avelyn, You started dance class last weekend, or as you like to refer to it, “dance cass!!!!!!” with the most excited voice you can muster. You LOVE to dance, but you don’t love to listen so much. The first week I left you in the class with two other girls, and sat outside snapping [...]

…that I hate feeling nauseous. …that feeling nauseous and vomiting all the time AND raising a two year old AND working full time at night AND doing it all by yourself while your husband is away blows. …that if for no other reasons than the above, it’s nice to have him home now. …that at 10 [...]

It’s embrace the camera Thursday! I used to take all kinds of crappy photos self portraits of Avelyn and I when she was a baby. These days the fight usually isn’t worth the battle. However, wouldn’t a whole album of pictures like these just be wonderful to show my grandkids one day? No matter, she [...]

Can someone please tell me where my baby went? I mean, didn’t I just become her mother yesterday? Because I’m pretty sure my baby is, well… missing. I swear I just blinked my eyes for a split second and when they opened again this girl was standing before me. An absolutely beautiful, wild haired, funny [...]

Today was one of those perfect days. The kind of day that comes so rarely you begin to wonder if maybe you should pinch yourself, but you’re too afraid to try because you know you’ll wake up. Today Avelyn woke up singing. That perfect, soft, light song of a baby that wakes up safe and warm [...]
