I’ve had a few dreams where my baby comes out completely white. She looks nothing like me… Blond hair, loose curls, big blue eyes. While I loved her in my dream I still felt a little disconnected because she didn’t look anything like me. It felt like I was handed a friend’s baby to permanently…
When people find out I’m a TV new anchor and reporter one of the first things I’m asked is “do people recognize you?” Honestly, it’s not like people think. I use to be the host of BYU Weekly in Utah and for a while I’d get recognized for that role more than any other media…
So you saw before pictures of my nursery which was pretty manly (my husband’s wanna be man cave) and very non-kiddish. Not much as changed except I took down the photos of Tiger Woods (that jerk), and we have LOTS of kids stuff in the room that people have given us. It’s actually so messy…
Dear Baby Girl, We are both so big now that we’re obviously showing. I was at Lowe’s last week and a man asked me how far along I was, and yesterday a woman stopped me on the street… Recognizing me from work, and said “I didn’t know you were pregnant, you look great!” It was…
Dear Baby Girl, I can’t believe I’m already more than 23 weeks pregnant and that I’m going to meet you in a little more than 16 weeks. It’s really quite crazy when I think about it. I’m trying so hard to get everything organized before you get here. It’s not as easy as it looks…
My hands trembled as I dialed my husband’s number as quickly as I could. This was the first of two times I’d do this in a span of 24 hours. I did my best to hold back my tears and choke back sobs and when he answered the phone I let it out. I felt…
Well, the time has come to do SOMETHING (besides shop for clothing). I’m SOOO eager to set up the nursery and I figure you can never do it too early. Ok, maybe you can but I don’t think that’s possible with me. There’s a lot I’d like to try to do an since we’re on…
Dear Daughter, I had a dream about you last night. It seemed so real. I was holding you, staring into your beautiful big hazel eyes, adoring your caramel skin and head full of fluffy hair. I was kissing your sweet cheeks. I woke up feeling so sad at the realization that you weren’t here with…
Ready for the party to start? They’ll be a chatroom on my site tomorrow so you can join in! Be sure you’re typing in pink or blue! Here’s some hints (most myths) as to what I knew before my ultrasound:I was carrying sorta “low”= BoyIntelligender Test results = BoyMy 91-year old great-grandpa who claims he…
Dear Spawnie, This may be one of the last times I address you as Spawnie. Maybe not. I kinda like the nickname and I think I’ll keep calling you that after I know what you are. I just wanted to give you a little talk before we go to the doctors TODAY! I’m going to…
Last year I wrote a list of things I hoped to accomplish this year, and posted it on my blog, here’s what it said and how I did: This year (last year) I hope(d) to: –Learn how to cook I learned a few recipes, but need to learn more!–Eat better … Until I got pregnant…
Exactly five and a half years ago I met the love of my life. I didn’t know it then, but he was my future husband. –June 2004: First date, and first time we met. I thought he was a hottie but had big eyes and was a little shy. –2 dates later: First kiss, he’s…
