I’ll tell my labor story and try not to get too wordy on ya like I normally do.

September 2nd, 2:30am I wake up for no reason, I’m laying there feeling fine, wondering why I’m awake when *gush* “OH!” hurray I think I know that familiar feeling. I go to the bathroom, grab a pad and turn the lights on (which I normally wouldn’t do) my husband gets up because he knows something must be up. “This is it I think” we get ready, he’s a little too calm, he makes coffee, I get annoyed. “Pack up the car!”

All the necessary phone calls are made, daughter is sent to best friends house, everything seems to go smoothly despite it being the middle of the night. We go to the hospital where there’s a great nurse helping us out and she confirms that it’s amniotic fluid so we think hurray! We assume in just a few short hours it will be baby-time and all will be well. That’s how it went with our first daughter, 7hrs after water broke there was a precious baby in our arms.  read more »

Hello New World Citizen!

8 pounds 2 ounces 21 inches  OF LOVE. Cheers to the Family!`

Don’t you just love the looks from people as you board a plane with a child in your arms…

My brother in law got married over the weekend so that meant having to transport the whole fam damily to Ohio (via plane) for a brief visit as well as a five hour drive to Chicago.
In my husbands wisdom he thought it best to have us fly a red eye from San Francisco to Ohio. At first this seemed like a great idea after all our older child has always flown so nicely with little if any problems. This trip proved to be different. It must have had a departure time of 10:30pm and by the time we sat in our seat and stowed our bags in the overhead compartment (Careful as those items may shift during the flight!) I could feel the tension from everyone around me. I knew what they were thinking…”Great a fucking crying little shit got seated next to me, wonderful.” Then finally the kiss of death as the business man in front of me turns around and says, “Oh I bet she sleeps like a baby.” Yeah thanks asshole you just cursed us all.  read more »

What the hell is wrong with this picture? Are the parents who are buying this crap having a stripper pole installed in little Annie’s room as well? I am seriously freaked out by this. What will my daughter be wearing by the time she is 10?
