29 Weeks

Posted by Candy February 23rd, 2009

It is so hard to believe that we are already 29 weeks along in this pregnancy. The 2nd trimester went by pretty darn quickly. It’s kind of sad how quickly it went by because that was a good 2 month long period of feeling FANTASTIC. And guess what? The last few days have been filled [...]

We were on our little vacation and things have been super busy around here. A quick run down of things:

Gene’s MRI came back normal! Yay. Now he just learns to live with it? :|

I’m crossing my fingers that they don’t drag on like they usually do. Two friends are expecting babies this month [...]

I thought it was just my belly expanding or my baby growing. 2-4 times a day I experiencing this tightening feeling my stomach/abdomen and I almost feel like the [...]

Silly Doggies

These guys really enjoyed the tiny bit of snow we received last week. It was more ice and sleet than actual snow but they still enjoyed romping around in it. As for me? I could be perfectly happy not seeing anymore winter weather until next year. This year? I’m too nervous on the ice.
