Jacob got a Kodak digital camera for his b’day from his Nana and Pops.  Let’s just say it created a monster.  We downloaded 250+ pictures in the first month of ownership!  And he would go to his room to do this…take pictures of himself and his brother.  One morning he woke Caleb up by taking…

After more than 7 weeks on the couch, I’m back to work today. Have been waking up in the middle of the night, making lists of things I need to do in my head.  I think it’s more of a nesting thing right now…feeling the need to be ready at any moment.  But everyday thinking,…

Am I the only one totally interested in this right now?  Could it be because it’s the middle of the night…again…fourth time in a row this week!  And I’m up browsing the web for completely useless but fascinating information on mammals and their gestation periods?  Must be a pregnancy thing!  Oh, and I have a…

Feeling like I could do a lot of complaining this morning…lack of sleep, sore ribs and back, not getting anything done, etc.  So I decided this would be a good time to conclude my month of gratitude with another list…I certainly need to focus on the positive this morning. 1.  A healthy baby that might…

Had a wonderful holiday last week…enjoyed having Derek and Jacob around, the beautiful weather and a great, relaxing time with family.  We went to my Mom’s house on Thursday and again on Sunday for family dinners.  I realized how rare it is to get everyone together and I appreciate those times more than ever…especially since…
