A week ago, we anxiously got front row seats to watch our baby on the big screen…the best kind of doctor’s appointment. We thought about ways we wanted to find out if we would be raising a girl or boy…should we have the technician write it on a card and open it at home? Should we take it to the ice cream shop and have them scoop strawberry for girl and blueberry for boy? The possibilities were...
We spent a glorious week away down in Bald Head Island, NC and a spontaneous vacation-extension up the Outer Banks. It was just what the doctor ordered! We read…we talked…we relaxed…we felt baby kicks…we ate…a lot. I’ve been feeling pretty well, but have been having some pains here and there that resolve with some stretching and rest.

I made my way downstairs to brew the coffee and fix a simple breakfast. My body found its way back under the crisp cool sheets as he turned and sighed while stretching under the duvet.

But I’m starting to feel my 16-year-old self cross her arms over her cardigan...

All of the sudden one morning, Mr. Greeneyes looked at me as I stretched and said, “Whoa!” I ran..ok..I kinda waddled to the bathroom and low-and-behold…a real 100% legit baby belly! I tried sucking it in..but that sucker wouldn’t budge. So I pretty much just let it all hang out at this point. Afterall, I have a baby the...
I'm A Dreamer.
Sometime between the hours of 1-4am, my blissful sleep is disturbed with my heart pounding through my chest wall while my body feels trapped in my skin. Realty takes longer than usual to set in as my mind races. These nightmares are too disturbing to believe that they were somehow conjured up in my little…innocent…brain. (insert smirk) But really! These dreams are far beyond...
