I like for my drawers to be neat. I like for clothes to be put in the exact same place every time. I like to fold my underwear. I like to or...

On the rare occasion, I have to admit that I've been wrong. Today is one of those days. Craigslist isn't always entirely a pain in t...

Little Bird spends most of his time with me. He watches me do my hair and put on make up each day. Most of his friends are little girls. How...

When Little bird was 7 weeks old, I started taking him to Music Together classes. Some insane idea that I should be "doing something...

Yesterday, we went in for our "nurse talk" where a patient history is taken and the nurse talks to you for about an hour about the...

I've been working on the post about our visit to the OB today, and I'm just too tired to wrap it up for now. For now, I give you But...

This morning, I painted my toenails before we left for brunch. I usually go for purple or blue toes, so it made sense when Kevin looked down...

We've come a long way from the first time Little Bird tasted apples. He is quite the fan now, although he chews them for awhile and then...

Oh, my heart. Almost daily, Bird does something that astounds me. Simple things that are so normal, but that to a first-time waited-so-long ...

I still pee on sticks. Can't help it. Just have to make sure those lines aren't fading. They aren't. It's not that I don...

This one is sticking around. I hope for a long time. HCG is climbing, and I've been told to stop worrying. It's possible the nurse w...

Obviously I'm distracted. I wrote this earlier today and accidentally hit "save now" instead of "publish." This is m...

Dear little squishy block of cells, I think you have a fighting chance. Your due date? The same as your brother's. That means that you a...

At church, we pass a dignified attendance pad in which everyone on the pew writes their name, and we all pretend not to be too interested in...

There is something I promised a friend several weeks ago. A promise made over the phone as I was parking the Jeep at the mall. "I want ...

It's been an awesome day. Not only did both of my boys go to church with me this morning, but Kevin even watched Little Bird so that I c...
