Ultrasound Pics
We had our ultrasound on Feb. 16th. It was awesome! I’ll save the more intimate shots but let’s just say that as soon as the tech turned the camera on there was no doubt about it… Baby Becker is a boy!! He’s a thinker… and is very healthy and strong. Everything checked out great! We […]

January 26th was our 16 week appt. I’m was exactly 16 week. I met the OB for the first time. He was running so far behind and was in a hurry but he did take the time make sure all my questions were answered. He wasn’t too concerned with exercise and cleared me to start […]

A Good Excuse
Remember awhile back when I posted this post claiming I would post every day for November? And then, not long after that, I’m sure you remember how my resolve fizzled and this blog once again became neglected and quiet. Well, my friends, I was not just slacking in my typical way. I had a really […]

Christmas may be over but the folks in my village are continuing business as usual… Do you have a Christmas village? How long will it stay up for?
