Seasons Greetings family, friends, and social media acquaintances! We hope this newsletter finds you well, as we are beyond blessed this Christmas season (as usual!). We can't possibly recount all the wonderful things that have occurred over the past twelve months, but we will provide our interested readers with an abbreviated list. After much ado...

Not Fortgotten
Forgive me readers, for I have sinned. It has been two months since my last blog. You may think that having a seemingly endless amount of free time would be conducive to writing, but in my case the opposite is true. I write about my life, and I'm mostly lying on the couch watching it... Continue Reading →
House Arrest
Since I posted my last blog, I've had several concerned people contact me about my condition. It seems that between griping about bureaucracy and picking on a woman I hardly know for doing her job, I let a few kernels of hard truth slip through. At Baby Girl's anatomy scan (week eighteen) my doctor noticed... Continue Reading →
Please Excuse Me
The best part about having a blog instead of a private diary is the ability to publish my grievances to be read by my faithful followers, who will share my indignation and grumble curses at those who've wronged me. Isn't that the point of all social media? To declare "I was rear-ended by an idiot!"... Continue Reading →
The Myths Of Pregnancy
When I think about all the things that have to go just right in order to conceive a child, every pregnancy truly seems like a miracle. For future parents who want a child more than they've ever wanted anything, the pressure is enormous to not be the weak link in their own conception story. Though... Continue Reading →
The Cook Returns
Every pregnancy is different, but all of mine have one thing in common: nausea. There are varying degrees to be sure, and this time I have not made a trip to the ER for fluids and IV meds a la Duchess Kate like I did with Archie, but all three babies have given me the... Continue Reading →
Plain Gold Ring
Yes, I'm listening to Kimbra today. Occasionally Robby is called away to conferences for work to learn more in-depth prosecutorial strategy or immigration law specifically. He is gone for several days at a time, leaving me in charge of the household. During my first year or so of parenthood, I would remark that his trips... Continue Reading →
Plans
Stay at home moms like me have pretty open schedules. Literally, an iPhone calendar that is completely blank, save for an OB checkup every four weeks since becoming pregnant. When my mom, sister and aunt decided to plan a trip to visit in September, I told them to pick any weekend they could all get... Continue Reading →
I’m Not Ashamed
With two boys under four terrorizing my home, I'm curious how our third child, due February 2018, will handle the madness. I don't worry much about things falling into place because as a seasoned mother, I know I have absolutely no control over the future, and any concerns swirling in the jumbled soup of my...

The Book
It's official, I'm a published author! The book came out last week ahead of schedule, so I was unprepared and unable to effectively promote it from my place under the dryer at the hair salon. And then, I had to prepare and pack for our big trip to Wisconsin, so the roll-out hasn't exactly been... Continue Reading →
