Twenty-five!

Over the last three years of blogging (yes, THREE years), I have had some pretty good birthday posts (here, here, and here).  I feel like this year should be something really special seeing as how I'm hitting the quarter-century mark.  Alas, don't get your hopes up too high.  This has been a big year for me - as I have spent pretty much the entirety of it growing a person and preparing to become a parent.  This has been our...

Traveling Man

Yesterday I arrived home from work to a delightful surprise on my front stoop. A [very] large box taunted me with it's baby-toting contents. I waited for Geoff to get home to rip into the box - and we were so excited to pull out Baby's travel system: car seat, base and convertible stroller.

Practice run?

Anyone who is also my Facebook friend is probably wondering the details about my visit to the Doc this weekend and my giant IV bruise.  Well, I'll give you the short and simple of it.  Late Friday night (I guess it was technically Saturday morning), I started having quite a bit of pain in my uterus.  Shortly thereafter, it became unclear if my water may have broken (sparing you the details).  I called the after hours line at...
