This is the moment I have been waiting for! The blessed 2nd trimester! As it did with my first pregnancy, it just seems to gradually fade away, slamming me with one final bout of awful pukey-ness as a not-so-pleasant farewell. I actually began writing my first weekly update at 15 weeks, then I slacked off…Continue Reading “Baby Bump Day | 17 Weeks”
I’ve always liked the sound of 18 weeks. It’s like the calm before the storm, you feel legit preggers and yet you don’t have to be terrified of knocking over everything within five feet of yourself when you decide to re-position your body. Here’s another miraculous thing, I’m writing this only one day after having turned 18…Continue Reading “Baby Bump Day | 18 Weeks”
Our Star Wars Pregnancy Announcement The news it out! We’re expecting baby #2! I’m thrilled with the idea of Miles taking on the role of big brother and of me learning what it means to love two tiny souls so completely. We found out I was pregnant exactly four weeks ago and announced it yesterday…Continue Reading “We’re Expecting (another) Future Jedi!”
Yes, the next step has arrived. We are buying a house! A couple months ago we were given the opportunity to buy a house in Leavenworth, KS. This is important because it is much closer to where Steven works. Right now he’s driving 45 minutes to work each morning (then back at night of course)…Continue Reading “We’re Buying a House!!!”
Back and forth, I had debated whether I should keep my personal and professional blogging separate. I realized I would be most happy if everything in my life was in one place. I can’t easily separate them anyway, they are woven into each other too tightly! Photography and design, they are ME, they are simply…Continue Reading “The Blog Consolidation Project”
I cant’ believe I just wrote “7 months!” This has been a fun “big-baby” month. After a week of nightmarish teething for all involved, Miles cut his first little baby tooth! The bottom right side of his gums are now razor sharp and don’t my nipples know it! *warning: overshare. Owww! We had about a…Continue Reading “Mister Miles | 7 Months”
Most of my life I had always said I didn’t look forward to being pregnant the way I figured most women did. If I had it my way I would have gone straight from “I’m pregnant!” to the day I came home from the hospital with a brand new baby. Boom. Done. Yay. Having actually…Continue Reading “My Miserable Pregnancy”
We’ve reached the 6 month mark! Or, more accurately, in true Brittany style, we have surpassed the 6 month mark! Yay! It’s no surprise that 6 months is a big one. It’s the month he wakes up one morning and magically can sit and crawl, has teeth, eats solids, waves and starts to say “ma-ma.” ……Continue Reading “Mister Miles | 6 Months”
I cannot believe my little baby is 5 months old already!!! Month five is a little strange to me because everyone always refers to 1, 2, 3, 4 and 6 months for things, but rarely 5. I can see why, I suppose, I feel like it’s sort of like a bridge to 6 months. He…Continue Reading “Mister Miles | 5 Months”
I’m a week ahead of myself, but I figure it’s better than months behind! Life is utterly amazing right now. I’ll probably get a little more into it when I focus on the Mister’s Milestones but we are finally settling into what I am going to call a routine. The days/afternoons…Continue Reading “Mister Miles | 3 Months”
