In twelve hours my sweet little baby will be exactly two weeks old. I cannot believe this much time has passed already.
Today was the first day I’ve felt a little stir-crazy. It’s probably because the baby and I stayed in bed until 2:30 this afternoon. She was up most of the night so we get [...]

So. I failed. Kind of. I did my best to post everyday this month and failed. So here’s what I would’ve said for the past few days:
Our baby is amazing. She sleeps well, eats REALLY well (I was anxious about breastfeeding), interacts well with people, likes noise and action and her siblings.
I feel good. I’m [...]

Last Weekend-As-Just-the-Four-of-Us Highlights:
Dinner at Logan’s Saturday night…steak and potatoes did this preggo good. I’m trying to carb-and-protein up to get ready for the birth, when a lot of energy will be required!
Running into Kait at Bridge Street on our way to Orange Tree (that’s TWO highlights in one). Kait is nothing but a big ball [...]

I am terrible at updating on the weekends. Despite how s.l.o.w. they are right now. This one, for instance, didn’t include much beside rest and relaxation. And Mexican food.
On Saturday Jeff auditioned for The Magic of Beauty & the Beast at Fantasy Playhouse Children’s Theater. He was cast as the Beast and is really excited about [...]

My titles are so original. And my posts are so entertaining. Luckily I don’t fancy myself a writer and haven’t called myself a “blogger” in a long time. Maybe posting every day this month will lead to being a “blogger” again. Maybe not. But it will at least be a nice snippet of my life [...]
The One In NOLA.

Ok. I’m not actually in New Orleans anymore.
But I was. And it was absolutely wonderful.
As Jake said when we got back, everything seems bland now.
I’ll post pics on Flickr soon and link here, although most of you followed us on Twitter throughout the trip too and I put up a lot of Twitpics.

Since NOLA, [...]

Tomorrow, after work, Jeff and the kids and I shall pack into his CR-V and start the 7 hour trek to New Orleans. In Birmingham, we’ll meet Shelli and Hali. In Mississippi, we’ll stop for a Coke Icee and snacks.
We’ll arrive and check in at the Dauphine Orleans, our hotel.
On Thursday, we’ll rise early to [...]

I’ve been seriously nesting tonight. Made chocolate chip squares for Jeff. Discovered that my version of nesting is making a zillion lists, drawing up building plans (I cannot draw to save my life, so this was a task that took a while), cleaning a clean kitchen, and designing timelines for random projects.
Weird.
Anyway, we had a [...]

Can’t sleep.
To the woman who commented on the blog about HHA buying up apartment complexes in SE Huntsville…I’m sorry you don’t want “young black males with baggy pants and gold chains” walking up and down a main thoroughfare near your house, but your viewpoint is exactly why people assume the worst about Alabama/the South.
Couple of [...]

We went to New York City on Monday.
I’ve been twice before.
But this time, we went. Jeff, Lyndsay, and me. We.
And it was fast and furious and fun.
Our plane landed at Laguardia, we grabbed a cab, and arrived in midtown at our hotel a little after noon Monday. The hotel, by the way, was awesome. Quaint, centrally [...]
