This little piggy…

March 14, 2010

…has swine flu. Yep. My boy starting running fever on Thursday so we went see the Doc on Friday. Turns out he has swine flu. He can’t take most vaccinations due to his condition so I was hoping he wouldn’t get it. He did. We were reassured over and over that it was nothing like [...]

Oh yeah… freedom has come!

March 2, 2010

So for more than a year now we have been a one-car family. That was rough. Anytime the kids had to go to the doctor or I had an OB appointment we had to work out insane plans with my mom-in-love or Ryan’s brother so we could borrow a vehicle. They have jobs and go [...]

Gevan’s first year and our experience with finding out about his dwarfism…

March 1, 2010

I was twenty-one when I was pregnant with Gevan. Just a few days after his dad and I got married I had an ultrasound and that is when the doctor told me that Gevan’s results were irregular. His femur, tibia, humerus, and ulna (arms and leg bones) all measured several weeks behind. My obstetrician immediately [...]

Preparing a Nursery for Baby…

February 26, 2010

So many things are happening lately as a result of the urgency I feel to get ready for Baby B. According to the measurements taken during my last visit, Baby B is a bit on the “large” side. That doesn’t surprise me though. My others were bigger than average too. Gevan weighed in at 6lbs [...]

Bad Mom, Hormonal Mom

February 22, 2010

This weekend was full in so many ways. My baby turned 9. I’m pregnant. I cried. Nine years ago I gave birth to this amazing little boy. He came early but he was 8lbs 14oz and had a head FULL of hair that stuck up everywhere. He is one of a kind. He can make [...]

Baby B does have a name…

January 6, 2010

…but it is a secret. We discovered that there aren’t many gender neutral things and so there aren’t many ways to prepare for a baby unless you know what the gender is. Since we are on such a tight budget right now preparing is a necessity. That is why we made the decision to find [...]

Boys will be boys… with paper and tape.

January 2, 2010

You know, before I had kids I always told people all about the things I’d never do. One thing I have learned over the years is that those words will always come back to haunt you. I remember when I went to visit my cousin and her little boy came out with guns blaring during [...]

So long 2009… Ha!

December 30, 2009

2009 was a great year in many ways so of course, I had to highlight them for you. Why? Because I need adult interaction and you all give me great reassurance that I am not hormonally crazy.disclaimer: I may or may not have cried while I put this post together. So here is our year [...]

What’s a girl to do?

November 13, 2009

A while back I posted about wanting a baby sling. When I was pregnant with my boys – eh um, more than 8 years ago – I wasn’t a savvy, internet surfing mommy who was able to discover such things. My knowledge of baby care products was limited to what I saw in Wal-Mart. ’nuff [...]

Great thrift store finds and baby update!

November 4, 2009

I just love Jen’s Frugal Fashionista posts over at Beauty and Bedlam. I’ll admit that shopping for clothing at the thrift store is something new for me. I am just so used to shopping via magazines, online, and other stores that sell clothing new. Maybe it is because of my clothes shopping phobia that I’ve [...]
