Our adventure to see the new Cowboys stadium began with picking up our tickets. They were supposed to be ready by 4 p.m. at the Sheraton hotel. Well, parking at the Sheraton was an adventure because little did we know, it serves as one of the $40 game day parking lots. After circling around a [...]

Well, Kaylee is anyway. Over the past two days there are no longer little feet smushed up against the top of my ribs. At my appointment last Monday I was 1cm dilated and 50% effaced. I go again next Monday and I expect more progress because she’s been super squirmy and I’ve been all crampy [...]

The death of a loved one is something that you never want to think about. But you know you do. When you awake suddenly from a terrible dream where someone close to you has died, you think about it and wonder how you’d really react. When you hear about a tragic accident on the news, [...]

Happy birthday to me! I’m off work today and here’s how I’ve spent my day:
I got up around 8 and opened my cards and presents after making a wish at this exact time:

This past weekend my sweet parents came to town for my baby shower in Iowa Park. They can’t ever come visit without us having a list of home repairs we appreciate their help with. This time the major project was getting mom to help me reorganize my kitchen/pantry. It was awful and I was too [...]
why are there tears in my nachos?

Did you know that nachos can make you cry? Well they can if you’re pregnant. I planned to go home for lunch today, but got stuck at work instead. So I went to the cafeteria and for some reason I ordered the Muchos Nachos. Yummy chips, refried beans, that good football stadium cheese, chicken, lettuce [...]

I think last night was a taste of what motherhood is going to be like. I went to bed at 8 p.m. (don’t judge … and yes, I realize I won’t be going to bed at 8 as a mom) and slept until 1:30 when Kris came to bed. Then I started tossing and turning [...]
rebel

This is me, rebelling against maternity shirts and the pile of laundry that contains all of the maternity shirts that I’m rebelling against. Not too bad … I just had to keep yanking it down all day to make sure my sexy panel pants were covered and my belly wasn’t hanging out.
And here’s my feet. [...]

Today I ventured out of the office during lunch with a Hobby Lobby coupon that was intended for buying more cards to make my Thank You notes. I wandered in the entrance and was hit by the blast of cold, retail air and immediately saw that my two favorite seasons are already coming alive. Autumn [...]
