How far along? 30 weeks! Holy cow!  Maternity clothes? Yep, still mixing and matching maternity and non maternity. My belly is getting out of control! I wore the same dress this morning that I did in my 30 week photo with Hudson. And now it's confirmed.....big mama on board. Let's hope I loose the weight by breastfeeding again this time or ...

  Can you believe Easter is this weekend? As a mom of a busy two year old boy, I'm always on the lookout for fun and simple ways to celebrate the holidays in an interactive way.

Hearing all of your boy names last week was SO much fun! We still haven't decided on a boy name yet, but added a few more to our list, thanks to you guys! So today....let's talk girls! When I was pregnant with Hudson we knew we were having a boy, so we didn't talk about girl names too much. I can't even remember what names we liked in the ... Read More

1. Any day now huh? Um, no. I have like two more months to go, thank you very much. Thanks for that boost of confidence. For the record, a man said this to me. I don't think a mother would ever say this to a pregnant girl. And I never once got this comment during my first pregnancy. #SecondPregnancyProblems  2. I bet you're hoping it's a ... Read More

Don't worry, we still don't know if we are having a boy or a girl...but friends, I need your help! Baby #2 will be here before we know it, and sense we don't know the gender, this babying naming business is even harder, because we need a boy name and a girl name!

Prior to ever getting pregnant I had things I just *thought* I knew about breastfeeding: *I would do it.  And I wouldn't "give up" like so many women I had met or heard about. *I would breastfeed for one year and then wean. *I would combine pumping and nursing when I returned to work. *It was hard.  And it was pretty much ...

Happy St. Patrick's Day! Kiss me, I'm Irish! Or at least I think a little bit of me is? But who knows for sure? So obviously we are celebrating in our house. Mostly because redheads look good in green. But any excuse works, right? And now, a St. Patrick's Day list.....  1. A certain little leprechaun woke us up at 2am and was ready to ... Read More

Cookie dough and pregnancy don't mix well....something about consuming raw egg and yada yada yada....you are told to steer clear. I mean, eating something with raw egg in it is bad at any time...but we totally do it anyway. For some reason, every time I'm pregnant I crave homemade cookies.....and not being able to lick that spatula clean is rough. ... Read More
