There is a debate – well, can you call a bunch of internet chatter a debate? – about wine drinking during pregnancy and breastfeeding. There are the close-minded-know-it-all-old-school-folks and then there are people who I choose to listen to. During the second and third trimesters of Harrison’s life in-womb I enjoyed probably a glass of [...]
My large maternity shorts are about to fall off me! This is exciting, because when I bought these in March they were a bit too large, but, I was desperate for something else to wear and desperate to NOT go back the mall. But, toward the end of the pregnancy they fit. Snugly. I am [...]
*Because I am so severely late in an update – here is a pre-written post – “recipe #2″ (because I assumed I’d be waiting for the little man to show up all week.) This weekend I intend to write the story of Harrison’s birth as well as our first night home – which was INSANE! [...]

The whole being pregnant thing really isn’t my cup of tea… now that we are almost done and we’ve been through almost all stages of it, I can say this with certainty. However, I just grabbed the little dude’s foot. Seriously. He’s kicking and stretching in there and sometimes he just sticks a little foot [...]
