32 Weeks

June 26, 2011 by

 32w0dThis week I felt some Braxton-Hicks practice contractions for the first time. It was just like my stomach/uterus got super tight all of a sudden and hard, like I was flexing a muscle. Then it went away quickly. Other than that, all is going well. We're feeling like it's getting closer, less than two months now!   We were in Dallas visiting my parents for all of this week.

Summertime Goals: Updated

June 22, 2011 by

After school finished, I posted two lists of goals and tasks for the summer, here and here.  At the time it seemed like May would never end and summer would last forever. Now, suddenly, I find it's almost June. I had what seemed to be a stress dream the other night about not being ready for the baby. So I thought I'd go over the lists again and note my progress and maybe reprioritize.Outdoors:-Pick up sticks from front yard.

June 19, 2011 by

This post is sponsored by Shutterfly. I was received free product, but all opinions are my own. Phil and I just flew home tonight from a week in Dallas, TX. We left Minneapolis last Friday evening in Brunner (the truck I drove all through high school, named after my favorite hockey player at the time, Jamie Langenbrunner) and pulled up at my parent's house Saturday evening. It was a long hot trip, since Brunner decided to not only have no air conditioning (which I totally could have dealt with) … [Read more...]

Baby Shower!

June 16, 2011 by

The first weekend in June, my friends Laura and Maureen hosted a wonderful baby shower for me! We had mint-orange punch and raspberry lemonade, cake pops, rice krispy pops, lots of onesie cookies, fruit, and more. It was quite a spread. The decorations matched the nursery colors, bright oranges and blues, with some pink of course. I love the fluffy pom-poms. And of course, the awesome diaper cake. I've declared that this orange cordury stuffed aardvark will be the baby's … [Read more...]
