At 35 weeks pregnant it is probably a good idea to have those bags pack for labor huh? Sadly I’ve not really put in much effort or thought toward this task. Given all the hoopla about “going in to labor early and much quicker with baby #2″ I figured it might be wise to focus...

While pregnant with Everly I didn’t really have the luxury of time and energy to decorate the nursery like most pregnant women do. Being so fatigued and being that we were still unpacking from doing a new home purchase at 7 months pregnant the nursery was just thrown together. In all reality, newborns really shouldn’t...

We are quite the well a versed on the go family these days, as many of you already know. With prenatal visits two states away we’ve done our share of travel with our toddler over the last few years. Plus, we are about to be on the go when we head out in a month...

Last night Nathan and I celebrated our 9 year anniversary with a dinner out. Nothing real over the top since date nights and getting super keyed up is something I lack the energy for these days being that I am 34 weeks pregnant now. Everly was along for the dinner and we all had a...

It seems like every other preggo around is erring on the side of early when it comes to their baby’s birth. It is no wonder, I mean when you are as fat as a blimp and super uncomfortable why wouldn’t you want the process to end faster? Me? I am the dumb one that counts...

Someone was awake at 4 am crying. After peeing in the potty chair on her own yesterday it is no surprise she’s having sleep disturbances as they really do typically coincide with her major developmental stages & events, like clockwork. Our 2nd car, the current around-town-car has been out of service so the weeks have...

Oh my goodness, we did it! We kept a child alive and also survived the 2yr old birthday party situation. When Everly was born we were blown away by the fact that we now had this tiny human being to keep alive, teach and look after. It really does seem like so much of a...

Everly is about to turn two, actually two years ago I was out at The Farm waiting for Everly to make her appearance. In past weeks we had some fun with her escaping her crib and having some major power struggles over bedtime & nap time. We’ve heard all our parenting buddies complaining and struggling...

Well, the time has arrived. I am officially in the 3rd trimester of pregnancy now (28 weeks for those counting), can you tell? Everly’s birthday is a few weeks away and then baby sister will be here before we know it. I only have one remaining midwife visit before we head down to stay at...

Everly knows how to climb out of her crib, she fell out of it once by mistake. There have been a few instances where she’s fled the crib or gotten herself in. Thankfully, the crib scaling instances haven’t been that common. She either doesn’t have a desire to free herself when she’s put in there...
