Tomorrow. Tomorrow. Tomorrow. You are going to be here anytime now! Due date, Feb. 20, is tomorrow if you can believe it which I cannot. That being said, we are as ready as we possibly could be! Mom just left the doctor and she is still not dilated so looks like it will be another…

Among the things that occurred today, your mattress did in fact arrive! There was a bit of scrutiny over which one to get you, as your mother (of course) wanted the most expensive and organic and everything below the sun in the mattress. I was a bit more reasonable, and we got you one in…

When you find out you are pregnant, planned for or not, your life changes in a variety of ways. We talked already about the drinking and hanging with friends, but there are also plans that must be amended and people that have to find out. Mom has had a trip to the Caribbean planned for…

I didn’t start this site until after the first ultrasound, but before we had that we knew about you and there were already some cool things that had happened. The big question, that I am pretty sure any kid asks at one point or another, is were you on purpose? Without the details, which I…
