First I want to start off and say thank you to all of you who offered up so much support, encouragement and love through my blog, Facebook and Instagram over the last several days. After we made the decision to go ahead with a social induction on Monday, the rest of our day flew by. […]
I Am…being induced tomorrow morning at 7:00 am. I Want…a safe and healthy baby; no matter how long the delivery lasts or what method it results in. I Have…a feeling that baby boy will weigh at least 8 pounds…easy. I Wish…that everyone would just say “Good Luck” and “We’re thinking of you” rather than continuing […]

Last year he was still a bit too little to understand the concept of Trick-or-Treating, but this year he had it […]

My biggest boy had his 4th birthday party a couple of weeks ago. His FOURTH. Someone please tell me where the last several years have gone, because I can’t figure it out. It seems like just yesterday we were getting ready to meet him for the very first time, and now here we are…weeks (or […]
