Dear People Upstairs 2006-12-08 04:27:16 I have tried to be patient. It was not THAT long ago that we were young, free and fun. I understand the need to want to party and be jolly. HOWEVER, you are starting to make me cranky, the hooting and hollering at 5:30 am, the constant banging (how many pictures are you hanging up [...]

WOW! It's a …. 2006-12-15 20:06:58 Well after drinking a ton of water and waking up way too early this morning, we headed over for the ultrasound. As a side note, no one warned me that a Tea Party could last until after midnight! I am so tired!
The ultrasound went great. The baby looks wonderful, all ten toes and fingers are [...]

From the Mind of a Pregnant Mom 2007-01-06 14:43:13 Pic of the Day ~ Becca the Bookworm ~
Where does a toddler sleep who has an overactive imagination when the crazy loud severe wind storm knocks out the power? Why with her tired parents of course! Poor Becca, just when you think the problem might be easing up, the power goes out! *sigh* She slept [...]
