So, Abriella had a full 20 minute nap in the car today. That’s all she had ALL DAY, and we were to have pictures taken today by Sara of Sara’s Studio (check that site out…you might even recognize a few people!). Well, I was a little concerned with my sleep deprived child (always warranted). Uggh. [...]
Yesterday, Stephen and I celebrated our 5th wedding anniversary. I can’t believe it’s been 5 years! And, to me, the reason is not that wow, it’s “already” been 5 years, but actually that really, it’s “only” been 5 years?! I think that sounds bad, but I totally mean it in a good way. I feel [...]
Abriella if it involves objects! Let me explain. So, yesterday, Stephen didn’t have to go to work because he’d had a very long mock disaster recovery exercise in Dallas on Tuesday with work. He didn’t get home until around 1am. Anyway, I was thrilled to have him home! We had a great day and got [...]
It just warms my heart in a special way when I hear that word from my baby girl! She’s known how to say this for a long time, but she has chosen to call me Da-da instead up until a few weeks ago. Hearing “Momma” is just the sweetest thing ever. I’ve been waiting for [...]
Ok, gross title, I know. So anyway, the child has not been feeling up to par lately. Tuesday night, she was crying out off and on all night long, which she doesn’t do. I kept looking at the video monitor, and she wasn’t up, and then she was quiet, so there wasn’t anything I could [...]
So, I was tagged by Amanda to find my sixth photo file and post the sixth picture in that file. Well, I decided to mix it up a bit. I think I’m allowed to do that. I actually stole this “version” of this meme from another friend, so it’s not original to me. Anyway, I’ll [...]
We’ve had a lot of fun with Abriella lately. This last Friday, I took her to one pumpkin patch, which she loved! She calls pumpkins “puh puh” and she will point them out ANYWHERE we go! She gets a little irked when we don’t get them for her everywhere we go. Poor deprived child! Then, [...]
This is just a quickie post. Abriella had her 15 month appointment yesterday (about a week late), but she’s doing great! She now weighs 21 pounds 5 oz (25%) and is 30 inches (50%). She is doing everything she’s supposed to be, so we’re happy about that. She got 3 shots, which she was not [...]
God is good! I’m feeling much differently with this pregnancy (knock on wood). I’m nauseated, but not all the time, and I’m not puking. Hallelujah! So, I can now say with first hand knowledge (which I already knew from being a midwife… but) that there are different kinds of pregnancy nausea. With Abriella, I couldn’t [...]
Ok, it’s not as grand as it sounds. Lately, on top of the nausea and major fatigue, I’ve had allergies…that turned into a very bad sinus headache! EVERYTHING, I mean EVERYTHING, from my shoulders up HURT. I couldn’t turn my neck much, it hurt to lay down, bend over, etc. I felt more nauseated from [...]
