Toy Story
Wow! It has been quite a while since my last blog post. See… This is what I was afraid of when I decided to start a blog. I knew that I’d start with a bang, especially since it was over the summer, and I wouldn’t be able to continue on the same path once I […]
For The Boys
This past Saturday, we had a gender ultrasound. We finally found out if Rhiannon is carrying a handsome boy like his daddy or a beautiful girl like her mama! Let me back up a bit first… Let the suspense build a little. Several weeks ago, one of our best friends, Nikki, sent us a LivingSocial […]
Housesitter
Being that things were going so well, I decided to utilize my time wisely over the summer. I’m a Fifth Grade teacher, so I am very lucky to not have to work over the summer. Before you say/think some snide comment about how easy it must be being a teacher and getting summers off, please […]
Picture Perfect
The world finally knows that we are pregnant, and I can’t tell you how amazing it is to be asked about it constantly… “How’s Rhiannon feeling?” “Are you going to find out what you’re having?” “Have you thought of any names yet?” “Have you started planning the nursery?” All of the questions are fantastic, and […]
Look Who’s Talking
We had reached the twelve-week mark, and we were over the moon with excitement. Now, the fun part was here: We could finally spread the word! An added bonus to spreading the word was putting together a gender pool… What did everyone think we were having?! I visited my grandmother and aunt in the same […]
The Turning Point
The time finally came… Twelve weeks. This was what we were waiting for. If we reached this level, the chance of miscarriage would drop immensely. We’d finally be able to tell our family, friends, and co-workers. We had our twelve-week appointment at our doctor’s office, and they hadn’t planned on doing an ultrasound. (It’s not […]
Meet The Parents
How were we going to tell our parents? That was the question. After our ultrasound, which was on a Wednesday, we decided on–okay, Rhiannon came up with–framing our recent ultrasound. We thought that’d be a fun way to tell them, as well as provide them with their first picture of their still-baking grandchild. Perfect! First, […]
She’s Having a Baby
So… In June, we found out that we were pregnant for the third time. As I said in the previous post, I didn’t want to believe it until I heard it from the doctor’s mouth. The second line was so faint on the pregnancy test that I just didn’t want to get my hopes up […]
It Takes Two
I think it’s understandable that Rhiannon and I didn’t rush right into trying for a third pregnancy. Two back-to-back miscarriages took a lot of the excitement out of getting pregnant. Plus, we had to wait the designated two-to-three-month recovery time after her D&C at the end of December anyway. (We would’ve waited that long even […]
