We picked a pediatrician!
I won’t even begin to claim that we invested a huge amount of time and energy into the pursuit. I wanted to find someone who was covered and recommended by our insurance, affiliated with the hospital where we’re delivering (since I’ve been really happy with the quality of care I’ve received from the clinic affiliated […]
Making Room for Baby
Before, pt. 1 I’ve mentioned before that we live in a small apartment and that trying to find room to fit a baby has been a challenge. We have no spare bedroom for a nursery, so we’re having to move things around and get creative with storage to fit everything in. The first thing we […]
Mission: Don’t Screw Up Thanksgiving…Success!
Kellen and I survived our first Thanksgiving! We managed to cook a full, delicious Thanksgiving feast for my in-laws without any major hitches. The biggest problem was finishing the turkey about an hour and a half early, and that problem was easily solved by covering it in tinfoil and a towel. I mentioned in a […]
Isla at 24 Weeks
Isla at 24 weeks Our follow-up ultrasound went really well this morning. No signs of VSD! The CCAM remains miniscule, and my placenta previa has been downgraded (upgraded?) from complete to partial. Keep on movin’, placenta! We have to go back in 3 weeks to get the CCAM and PP checked out again, but I’m […]
24 down, 16 to go

Breast pump recommendations?
I’ve finally decided to go all in and invest in a pump. Now that I know for sure my office has nursing rooms–and that they will be relatively open for my use–I’m definitely planning to pump and try to keep the EBF train rolling as long as I can. Trying to pick a breast pump, […]
All moved in…
Please note, we moved into our current place in April. Today, we finally got all of the photos and art (including my husband’s guitars) up on the walls. I finally felt comfortable enough with the state of our house–or at least the front half of it–to share with the internet, and some of the cool […]
All Baby Christmas
My husband have had to have this whole discussion about how for the next three months, if it’s not paying off debt or for baby, we pretty much shouldn’t be buying it. Money is going to be so tight once I’m out on maternity leave, and we have a lot of baby gear to stock […]
