A-Nesting.

Whew!
I have been busy doing house things I probably should have done months ago. I work better under pressure I think, plus, as Alicia says, these projects will make the last few weeks of pregnancy go by faster.

Nursery: Ready. Well, just need a last vacuum and we’re going to need to purchase [...]

Coming Together

Been really busy with baby stuff!!

More A&A Inc. soon. I just haven’t had a chance to sit down and think about it. Well, that’s a lie. I should say I haven’t had the attention span to do it. I have a feeling in a couple weeks or so I’ll be pretty [...]

A&A Inc. Part II

We were all shy and sweet when we met Alan picked me up from the airport. I remember Alan smiling his million-watt smile and me giggling the whole time. It was totally awkward and goofy I am sure. [...]

A Milestone

35 weeks pregnant today!

This is a big mental milestone for me. When I was 20 weeks pregnant I never thought I would make it this far. I just didn’t! I always cheated and read ahead on all the weekly pregnancy reports that tell you what’s going on with the baby and [...]

The Name Announcement

It’s a…..
HENRY!!
Still working on middle names.  I like Isaac, Ian, Andrew, Lincoln, Adams, Alan
and Alan likes James (that’s it.)  I’d love suggestions!
I like James but it’s too many Kings in one name (King Henry, King James, no).
I never thought it would take us so long to be 100% sure on a name but we’ve been [...]

Feeling Poetic

It may be 100 degrees outside today but inside it’s a beautiful day

because I am loved,
have a home to live in
good food to eat
a husband with undying patience and love
a baby boy on the way
and I slept well last night

It’s the little things
(simple)
that keep you going
(try)
when things are harder
(love)
than you’d think they’d be
(thank God)

to question [...]
