The History

Hostage Situation

I’ve used my little piece of the internet stage to get up on my soapbox before; sometimes it’s met with applause, sometimes it’s met with criticism. I don’t really care what side that this comes down on but I know I need to put it out there. If you move in the same internet/blogging circles [...]

The Occupy Movement

There seems to be a new Occupy movement taking place across the country. It feels like those taking place in the movement are definitely 99% of the population too. I’ve dubbed this movement “Occupy Uterus”. Seriously, it feels like everyone is pregnant. I open Twitter and it’s like “Hey! I’m pregnant!” “Hey, me too!” “Psht! [...]

“Don’t Count Your Chickens Before They Hatch”

This was the “helpful” “advice” that my interwebz friend, Diana, received on her Facebook page this morning. For those of you that don’t know, Diana is expecting her second child. She’s shared her news with her readers early on in her pregnancy this time around…she’s five weeks and a few days along. This morning someone [...]

October 7th

This day has so many mixed emotions for me. For the last several years I wake up with a lot of dread and guilt on October 7th. Today is my dad’s birthday. If you know me in the real world or having been reading the blog for a long time you know that my dad [...]

Yeah, I’m Serving an Eviction Notice on My Daughter

Baby’s Room By the Numbers

Sophia’s room is officially done. All we need now is Sophia. In the midst of my planning I scoured the internet for ideas and retailers with the best price (of course) so I thought I would share with you the details of my finds in hopes of saving you some legwork. I really wanted to [...]

The Great Unveiling

I’m sure you’ve all been waiting with bated breath for me to unveil the girl child’s room and her name so I would stop referring to her as “girl child”. Without further ado here you go. Some detailed shots Drum roll please… And there you have it! I’ll have a more detailed post later [...]

5 Weeks Left aka the Post in Which I Whine

Conventional medicine and averages say I have about five weeks left in my pregnancy. We’ve taken the classes, we’ve painted and prepped the nursery and our families have thrown a shower for us. I have prepped the entire cloth diaper stash I spent months accumulating, car seat bases are installed in each of our cars [...]

My Stash and Prepping Instructions

I have to say I had a hell of a time actually finding preparation instructions for both the prefolds/flats and BumGenius 4.0′s that I purchased (even BG’s website was confusing and lacking specific information); hopefully this spares you the Googling time that I went through. Note: For all the wash cycles I mentioned, I used [...]

I Promise This Does Not Make Me a Hippie

Way back before Tim and I were even married and just planning our wedding I came across a blog entitled “Baby Rabies“. Jill’s hilarity (and bluntness) on all things pregnancy and kid-related hooked me instantly. I found myself chomping at the bit for her next post. Right when I found her she had just had [...]
