Jury Duty. Yes, I was summoned for jury duty for the first time in my life. No, I did not have to report to the courthouse. I decided to skip the postponement option for two reasons. First, if selected, it would be a great learning experience and allow me to fulfill my civic duty like… Read More A Narrow Escape 🙂
The very next day after our weary travels from Indy to Phoenix, we started birthing classes. Probably not the best time emotionally to start such a venture, but it’s worked out. First we viewed a video of several different types of births–without medication, with an epidural, C-section, and using forceps. I must admit that I… Read More All Things Baby
My cousin, who is enrolled in a photography class, needed subjects for her portrait photo shoot assignment. Before we flew to Maryland, she asked if Stephen and I would mind getting some pictures taken while we were on the farm. I had been hoping and planning to get some maternity pictures, so I jumped on… Read More Maternity Photos by Laura
The look on Mom’s face was worth it. Worth the long hours in the car and the swollen feet and ankles. She came out into the living room confused as to why the dogs were barking, and then she saw Stephen. She gasped and hugged him so tightly. After the funeral in MD, we rode… Read More Indiana Surprise

Thou hast given him his heart’s desire, and hast not withholden the request of his lips. Psalm 21:2 This was the verse that I repeated to the Lord after Stephen and I saw the ultrasound confirming that we are having a son! From the very beginning we’ve hoped our baby was a boy. I have… Read More Baby is a Boy
Dark chocolate is medicinal. That’s right. So I think I’ll prescribe myself a daily double dose. 🙂
B is for blizzards. A butterfinger blizzard and a caramel brownie blizzard from DQ were fun treats tonight. Stephen had a buy one, get one free coupon which made them taste even better. B is for baby registry. Tonight we ventured into a new wonderland of baby gear. I must say it was overwhelming for… Read More “Big B, little b, what begins with B?”
Mommy and Daddy were able to hear Baby’s heartbeat yesterday. I love that sound best of all! Now that I’m entering my 2nd trimester, I’m just barely starting to enjoy being pregnant–mostly because my morning sickness is starting to decrease. I still have to be careful to get enough rest and eat small snacks throughout… Read More Heartbeats
