I’m done having babies. At least for now I am. I had an IUD placed a couple weeks ago. Truthfully, I don’t know how I feel about it. Naaman and I have talked a lot about having a third child. Correction: I have talked a lot about it to him. I am confused at the [...]

I am so honored to have been asked to be a part of the Mother’s Day Rally for Mom’s Mental Health on Postpartum Progress. This is the third year this has taken place. Today, on mother’s day, a letter to new moms will be posted each hour for 24 hours. I was asked to write [...]

A year ago at this exact moment I realized I was in labor. I was 38 weeks & 2 days pregnant. There was no indication the night before that led me to believe you would be on your way the next morning. I didn’t feel any different or do anything different. You just decided it [...]

This was me. One year ago. I was 36 weeks pregnant with Baby B (anyone remember that, lol?). Looking at this photo is so surreal. I cannot fathom that my second son was in there. At this point I assumed I would be pregnant for at least another month. But Brigham had other plans. [...]

We celebrated Landon’s second Christmas in December 2009. At that point I was at the half-way point in my pregnancy with Brigham. I remember going to Toys R Us right before Christmas and scouring the aisles of toys looking for just the right gift for our 16-month-old toddler. Suddenly, Naaman and I found ourselves in [...]

You know that question, “If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?” Well, here’s my question. “If something you don’t want to happen is taking place and you don’t blog about it, is it really happening?” I thought if I didn’t blog about [...]

Okay, I really didn’t think it was going to take this long to finish answering these questions but ya know, that’s life. I’ve got pneumonia and am still not 100%. Brigham is working on his second ear infection and has decided that sleep is not on the schedule. Like ever. Sigh. The life of a [...]

Bad photo quality aside, yes, today is the anniversary of when I unexpectedly found out I was pregnant again. It is beyond me that a year has gone by since that surreal day. A day filled with more emotions than I have ever felt at one time in my life. Happiness, fear, excitement, worry. I [...]

It’s been one week and one day since I went into labor with Brigham. I hope you all enjoy Brigham’s birth story. It’s a long one so settle in for the ride! I went into labor on my own at 5:30 a.m. on Saturday, May 1st. Naaman wakes up at that time to go to [...]

I'm a working mama to two of the most beautiful and sweet little boys. Landon is 3 1/2 and Brigham is 21 months. Yes, I survived a stint of two under two with a baby who didn't sleep for a year. And if I ever actually realized my dream of walking down the red carpet I'm sure there would be dirt on my dress. I'm just trying not to trip over Tonka trucks. This is where I write, laugh, dream, share, cry, and hope with honesty.
