Facebook: A Laboring Mom’s Best Friend

Over three years ago, when I gave birth to  PP, I was not as “social media savvy” as I am now. I also lived back in my home state so it was easy to keep in touch with my family and friends without the assistance of social technology.
Well a lot has changed in 3 years- [...]

Checking out the Maternity Ward at the Hospital

As a second time mom, you typically skip the steps of baby gear information gathering, attending labor classess, reading every book available, etc. But, since I just moved to Georgia & will be delivering in a new hospital, I really wanted to visit the hospital where I would be having my little lady. Talking to [...]

My Last Pregnancy???

As my pregnancy is coming to an end (6 more weeks to go!), it has been making me wonder if this is the last time that I will ever experience all of this: the baby kicking, moving, flipping… My pregnancy with PP was complicated. There were concerns about placenta previa, low amniotic fluid and finally (and the [...]

PP’s Sweet Ride–My Ride 65

I am lucky that PP loves to ride in the car. Of course we have the integrated DVD players in the headrests so PP can watch her favorite movies (her latest is SpongeBob movie–don’t ask!!!) so that helps, but she really does love hopping into her car seat which is her “zone.” PP had been [...]

A Peek Inside Ruby’s World–My 3D/4D Ultrasound Experience

When I was pregnant with PP, my whole world was my pregnancy. Everyone warned me that with #2, you just don’t have the time to concentrate & reflect on the pregnancy. I vowed that would NOT be the case when I got pregnant with my second child. Well…it happened. So, when I realized it, I [...]

The Big Move–Transitioning to a New Home

As many of you’ve probably heard, most of our company is moving to Atlanta in the next few months. I will be making the big move to Atlanta this June. This is a particularly big move for me since I was born & raised in this area & have always been about 1 hour away [...]

The Pregnant Night Owl (How I miss my sleep!!)

As a pregnant woman, I frequently get asked the question, “how are you feeling?” I usually respond with “I feel great!” Having my first pregnancy to compare it to, I reallydo feel great. I am not any more tired than I was when I was pregnant with PP. I had some complications with my first [...]

Wondrous Wednesday #63

Well, it has been a long 20 weeks waiting to find out what I’m having. I have been so certain that I was having a little boy. The signs were there–different pregnancy, low heart rate, only morning sickness for a few weeks, eating meat & carbs, carrying low, indigestion- you name it. Even PP thought [...]

Now she’s really Daddy’s Little Girl..

My daughter, PP, has always adored her daddy. However, recently her adoration has been taken to a whole new level. When daddy is around, mommy can’t do anything- I can’t brush her hair, can’t take her to the bathroom, can’t get her out of the car seat, can’t even put her coat on. “Daddy Do [...]

Why I Need to Know the Gender of My Baby

Anyone who knows me knows I am a planner. Last minute things make me anxious. Therefore, I buy birthday presents ahead of time (sometimes 3 months ahead of time), pre-order anything that I can (birthday invitations, birth announcement envelopes, etc.), book my birthday party months ahead of time (yeah, PP’s birthday party has been booked [...]
