23 weeks

At 23 weeks, our doll-sized babe is about to chub up a bit; his saggy skin will start to fit his frame as fat deposits fill things out. Beginning this week, he’ll start to pack on the pounds too and by month’s end he’ll be double the weight he is now. Right now, Baby’s organs and [...]

is this nesting?

Unsure if this is normal behavior that I can innocently blame on the pregnancy instinct known as “nesting”, or if I’m just a little weird. At any rate, I have a confession. I have recently discovered a love for hanging out in Baby’s nursery. In fact, I spent the majority of the day in there [...]

22 weeks

I can’t believe I am entering the 6th month of this 9-month journey! Everything is starting to move by so quickly and I know March will be here before we know it. My baby boy is no longer measured in ounces – he’s now weighing in at a whopping pound and is anywhere from 8-11 inches in [...]

the baby bedding arrived!

By popular demand, I’m posting a photo of our baby bedding: It arrived today and I am just so thrilled about it. I can’t wait to pick out the paint and start putting the nursery together. I have so many great ideas that it’s hard to believe I struggled to find any inspiration whatsoever in [...]

baby brooke’s arrival

My friend Kerri, and her husband Chris, welcomed their baby girl into the world on 11/11/11. I know, what are the odds?! Such a cool birthday. Brooke Ann Danley is doing great and is such a little sweetheart. I can’t wait to watch her grow…and, in about 4 months, I’ll introduce her to the most [...]

i’m baaack!

Last week, I got really sick and had to stay at three different hospitals. It was no fun and I know it scared my mom and dad a lot. But the good people of VCA Specialty Center took really good care of me. They fixed me up and now I’m back at my house. I [...]

boy, oh boy

With all of the stress from this week revolving around Maddox, I realized that I have yet to share some pretty exciting news: Matt and I had our 20-week ultrasound on Wednesday and everything went beautifully. We were able to see the brain, heart, spine, all of the limbs and major bones, etc. The little man [...]

a very short homecoming

Update to our earlier post… I picked up Maddox from the vet around 7:00 last night. While he clearly wasn’t back to his usual self, he was better than when we brought him in. We went for a walk around the building to make sure everything looked good. During our walk, he was stopping me [...]

maddox’s hospital stay

At 7:00 yesterday morning, I awoke to the sounds of Maddox vomiting. We cleaned it up, I took him out to go to the bathroom, and fed him breakfast. About 30 minutes later, he threw that up. Over the course of the morning, Maddox threw up a dozen times. There was nothing in his stomach, [...]

shopping for baby

Matt and I had a morning devoted to Baby today. First, we headed South to Tukwila where we visited a place called Cribs 2 Bunks and ordered Baby’s nursery furniture! We purchased the lifestyle crib and combo unit from the Bonavita Hudson Collection. I am excited to actually see what it will look like in [...]
