My due date has arrived.  So… where is our little prince?    He’s quite content right where he is, thank you very much!   My doctor said there has been absolutely no progress from last week and he seems quite comfy right where he is.    Helloooo in there, we are waiting to meet you…… … Read more

Just a quick check-in.   As I type this,  my due date is less than 1 day away, and still no sign of baby making his debut.    I have to confess that the last two weeks have been very challenging, and every morning I wake up and pray today is “the day.”   Lack … Read more

Do not adjust your screen.  Objects on your monitor are as large as they appear!:) We are getting SO CLOSE, and as you can see, our little boy is growing bigger by the day!   This is the only shirt I have left that covers my belly, and I refuse to buy more maternity clothes … Read more

I love to watch babies sleep.  There are few things in life more perfect, peaceful and serene than watching a little one doze…. I wish I could fall asleep as easily, and deep as this little angel!:)   Karolina is so amazing in every aspect, and this is just one of them.   I, on … Read more

Another weekend, another busy few days of getting our home ready for the big event:)    The weekends are zipping by way too fast these days.  Especially with the 70-80 degree days.  Wow..thank you, Lord!  Anyway, thankfully we had some fun family time, but also mixed with lots of laundry, cleaning and more baby prep. … Read more

As the due date of our son approaches (30 days now),  I have been calmly readying myself for the day of his birth.   As I have mentioned, my sense of anxious expectation has waned, blessedly,  this time around.  I’m just trying to rest in the day, in the gifts of the present  and to … Read more

It’s time for the orange gourds to make their debut and as you can see, I’m getting quite into the season!:)    I realize I look perfectly goofy in this shirt, but the kids enjoy it and I couldn’t resist.    I probably won’t be taking the kids out to trick or treat this year, … Read more

Week 35!   Last Friday we had Cleveland Clinic pediatrician,   Dr. So on the show for his monthly segment.  He pointed out that 37 weeks is full term.   I thought it was 38 weeks, but either way we are getting close!    I’m not expecting to go early, hoping baby boy comes right at 40 weeks but … Read more
