The post where I freak out over 2cm

February 16, 2011

Disclosure:  If you don’t want to hear about the state of my cervix, I suggest you stop reading.  Seriously.  When I was pregnant with C, at my 37-week appointment, the OB pronounced my cervix tightly closed.  At my 38-week appointment, she said “the baby may know where the door is, but she’s not even thinking [...]

September 16, 2010

Internet! C has something she’d like to get off her chest, er… back….   My due date is March 13th, I’m feeling OK and Craig swears it’s a girl and prefers the phrase “New Baby” over “Baby #2″.  (And he keeps reminding me.) More information will follow.  For now, I must nap.  And eat ice [...]

Madison’s Momma on her run for “Mommy of the Year”

July 7, 2010

Internet?  Meet Joanna.  Oh, you know and love her already?  Fantastic.  But just in case anyone doesn’t already know her, allow me to make introductions. She is a fun, witty, kind and strong momma from Texas who I “met” through Twitter and blogging and who always makes me smile.  If you don’t already know about her [...]

The quest for the perfect cupcake

June 28, 2010

Baby girl turns 1 in three months and two days.  ‘scuse me while I recover from the whiplash of  THREE MONTHS AND TWO DAYS.  Who gave her permission to grow up? To walk around furniture, crawl on all fours, say da-da, try to clap and feed herself?  While at some moments I want to cry over [...]
