37 weeks! I took Gia to the doctor earlier this week because she'd been really fussy at night and had a fever over the weekend for several days. Dr. C couldn't find anything wrong, so it was probably just something viral. She's doing much better now. Thanks to that little visit, I know Gia is growing well, too!! Yay! She is now...
So.... my daughter is 8 months old. And I am just now posting her birth announcement. Yeah, I'm a bit behind. So, maybe its not an "announcement" so much as it is just a cute picture. :) I had a great time designing this, but never sent it out right after she was born. So that's why I sent it out with my...
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. I am a worrier. And sometimes, ok, more often than not, worrying can get the best of me. Especially when it comes to Gianna. Part of it is just my worry-wart nature, but another part, a very real part of it has to...
I finally finished my Egypt Scrapbook using the online program MixBook. I had a Groupon that was $15 for $50 worth of product, which is why I chose to use MixBook in the first place. Overall, I LOVE LOVE LOVE this program. I think I would choose it any day over another program like Shutterfly or one of those. MixBook has a TON...
I made this wreath a few days ago, inspired by- what else?- Pinterest! It was super easy, but it just took a little time. Actually, the only part that took a chunk of time was wrapping the wreath with grey yarn. That took more than an hour! But cutting the felt, and doing the criss-cross argyle pattern only took another hour or less! ...
Whoa, 36 weeks! You'd never guess by this spring-like picture that our high here today was actually 16 degrees, and there was snow falling all day long! Not a whole lot has happened this week with Miss G, development-wise. She is still pulling up on everything, crawling all over the place, and getting steadier on her feet every day. She is drooling buckets...
I know its been a long time since I've updated Whitney's blog. There are several reasons for that... the easiest reason is that we haven't paid to renew it yet so we've been "locked out" of adding new posts. We started her blog in TypePad, which is great in that it allows us to do most of what we want to do (pages,...
Alright, so both my SIL's did this on their blogs... why not? I'll finish this then 2011 is DONEZO! For reals. 1. What did you do in 2011 that you’d never done before? Gave birth, breastfed a baby almost 24/7, moved across the country... oh wait, I've done that before. Ok, moved across the country at 30 weeks pregnant on a red-eye flight...
Oh, the wonder of a wooden spoon and overturned pot... "And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don't believe in magic will never find it." -Roald Dahl ...
There is an excellent blog post circling the interwebs lately. It's titled "Dont Carpe Diem." Have you read it yet? If not, go read it now, them jump back to finish this. I love the way she writes about the difference between chronos time and kairos time. Kairos time is God's time... those moments in the day when I notice the beauty in...
Length: No idea...Weight: I'm guessing somewhere around 16 poundsClothing Size: She is in mostly 6-9 month clothes now, especially her pants with the cloth diapers! Her 6-9 month sleepers are still pretty long on her, but the 3-6 are too tight!Fave Toy: She loves this musical cell phone that my parents got her for Christmas. She'll be crawling across the room, and if...
JANUARYThe year started out with me being pregnant with Gia... I was in the honeymoon phase of pregnancy... no morning sickness, still small enough to get around and energy, too! I was busy with my job, as things with the Mobile Ultrasound Clinic were really going strong. We were at a new location downtown and were seeing God move in incredible ways- saving...
