Shopping Fun
So, I have a wonderful sister-in-law here in Alaska who is up for any girly stuff as long as it doesn’t have anything to do with babies. She jokes that she’s missing that mommy chromosome. Lucky for her, her husband doesn’t really need to have kids either, so they make a good fit. My little
Morning Sickness?
Ok, if you don’t want details, skip this one… Early early on, even in the first pregnancy, I had symptoms.

These Things Shouldn’t be Happening
On March 22, I went in to the hospital to determine if my flu was simply kicking my rump or if my pregnancy-loss was causing health problems. (My insurance didn’t want a potential emergency like me going to a regular clinic…) The doctor assured me I wasn’t “septic” (what a word) and that I just
If at first you don’t succeed…
The hubby and I have been trying to get our ducks in a row this year. We started off right… we paid off our debts & started saving for a down payment for a house. I started packing everything, thinking the home-buying process would be instantaneous or something – ha ha ha. We even almost
