Baby Who’s, Who!!

Baby Who’s, Who!!

I thought it would be  fun to do a side by side of each of my kids at birth.  Can you guess who is who??  It is amazing how similar my kids look at different stages.  The first picture they are in birth order. Who is who??? It is amazing to me how different each of my kids coloring was at birth!! You can probably guess which one is the preemie, which one had the cord … [Read more...]

36 Week Update: Sweet Cheeks

36 Week Update: Sweet Cheeks

Two weeks ago I approached the 34 week mark.  The morning prior to 34 weeks I woke up with some contractions.  I contracted all day. I was feeling pretty worn out and I didn’t want to time my contractions in fear that I might really be in labor.  Eventually I started timing my contractions and they were coming as close at two minutes apart but averaging more at four minutes … [Read more...]

Pregnancy Update: We have reached a benchmark!!

Today marks a benchmark in my pregnancy.  I am 33 weeks 4 days.  My last pregnancy three years ago, my water broke prematurely at 33 weeks and 3 days.  They “held” me on bed rest in the hospital until I reached 34 weeks and then induced labor and my son “Bean” was born, six weeks early.   Statistically speaking babies born at 34+ weeks tend to go on and grow to be … [Read more...]

I think I can, I think I can, I think I can…..

I am now in my 30th week of pregnancy.  I am now on the down hill and a couple weeks into the third trimester, hoorah!  Next week we will be in the single digits in number of weeks left.  There is hope to an end of pregnancy, and that feels really good! J I know I have been fairly absent in the blog scene.  It is easier for me to not write, due to having a stinky … [Read more...]

24 Weeks, Contractions and Reflections….

October 23, 2013 by talesofdomestica Leave a Comment

Last weekend we took a quick trip to Rexburg, Idaho and visited Yellowstone Bear World, a interactive park where you can drive through and visit the bears and wildlife.  It was the last week of the year they are open before the bears all tuck away for winter  hibernation. Although several of the bears have already checked out and were snoozing happily in their dens it was a nice quick, … [Read more...]

Busy Times on my Bum!

Busy Times on my Bum!

My best way of coping with pregnancy is to with-drawl from most activities.  The kids and I spend a lot of down time at home.  For me, lots of sitting on the couch in my daze of nausea, while the kids play with toys, watch movies or play in the front yard. Even though I feel extremely lazy while pregnant I try to get the kids to a park or some kind of outing at least once a … [Read more...]

96 and Counting

96 and Counting

I called my grandma Friday night to see if the family and I could visit. I was amazed with the youthful voice that answered the phone. I thought her nurse aid might have answered. I asked, “Is this Grandma?” “Yes, this is Grandma. Who is this?” I hoped if I called right before I came over she might remember I was coming. I told her we would bring dinner. She seemed delighted that a visitor was … [Read more...]

Budgeting and Level Pay

June 2, 2011 by talesofdomestica 2 Comments

The hubs and I are getting better at budgeting. It has been an adjustment taking two independent 30+ year olds with our own individual spending and saving habits (mostly spending) and meshing them together. We are approaching our third wedding anniversary next week and after three year of trying to get a budget down, I can now say we are getting there! When it comes to budgeting our regular … [Read more...]

Milestone Update: Lil’Bean 5 Months (3 1/2 Mo. corrected age) Lil’Mis almost 2 years!

Time flies! Lil’Bean turns five months old today! He has grown so much. He has tripled his birth weight and has become a round, healthy little guy. There is no telling that he was born prematurely (click for birth story). What a little blessing he is to our family. Over the past month he has mastered smiling and is starting to laugh more and more. He tried his first solid foods (rice cereal, … [Read more...]
