The Sacred Sink

I’m a little late on this (okay, really late) but I have finally gotten around to posting my birth story.   I decided to make a video because I thought it would be more efficient than writing a long journal entry.  However, due to my long-winded nature,  it ended up being 5 minutes-plus.   Yikes! … Read more

Baby Gus is 3 weeks old!   Time is FLYING.   Can you tell he’s getting bigger? He’s spending more time awake each day, and we are learning about his little personality.  He is a sweet teddy bear, but also has some pretty fierce fussy moments too.    He screams when his diaper is changed, … Read more

Happy November!  I had to double check the calendar this morning, is it really November already?    I guess it’s that newborn-baby time clock, my days and nights are running together.   I wanted to post my birth story and Halloween pics, but the days have gotten away from me.   I still don’t have … Read more

Welcome to the world baby Gus!     Augustine (pronounced Ah-GUS-tin) Lawrence (named after my dad) was born on Thursday at 12:04pm, weighing in at 9 pounds, 1 ounce!  We are so overjoyed to finally meet our handsome son.   I had been scheduled to be induced on Thursday morning but our, “11th-hour-Gus” decided to … Read more

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
