I discovered that I'm pretty terrible at making cupcakes. I just assumed it was a natural trait but no, it isn't. I made some, and they were awful. I started out ambitious. I was going to make cupcakes for a friend's party, but I would make them horse themed. I looked up horse themed cupcakes, and[...]
It's been 4 months now since I had Bridgette. It feels normal to have a baby now. I'm getting used the title of "Mom." Before, only my mom was Mom. She's still Mom, but I am also Mom. We both share Mom. Routines have been established, and I feel like I'm part of a unofficial parent club[...]
It's now been 11 weeks since I had Bridgette, and I'm pleased to report that I still have a body. I say that because I've heard and seen of so many women who are afraid that having a baby will ruin their bodies. Or they did have a baby or multiple babies, and they feel their bodies are now[...]
Little baby Bridgette is now nearly 5 weeks old. It really does go so fast! Granted, it probably also went fast because my life has recently become a blur of days. Day and night no longer matter. Time is abstract. All that matters is the cry of the wild Bridgette, her little pleas indicating[...]
Big news in our world! The baby is in the factory, continuing to get bigger and stronger, but to double check on that, I had my anatomy scan to ensure all the parts were there. After all, we don't want any surprises! The anatomy scan is typically done right around the 20 week mark. They che[...]
You already knew that I wasn't dead, so me being alive isn't the big deal (although, in a way, it's a pretty big deal for me.) Instead, this is a different life changing event, although it is actually related to why I have been MIA for a while now. For you see... I am pregnant! 19 weeks[...]
We have a new hangout - we've spent many weekend days here, sipping on cider. We went after Gold Cup, we went after putting up fence posts, we went JUST because. Wineries are fun and all, but then I have to go through the tedious process of pretending like I know all about wine, and can detect the d[...]
Springtime is Virginia Gold Cup time! One of the best excuses to day drink, ever! Gold Cup attracts about 100,000 people from the DC area to our little area of Virginia. We joked on the way over there that for some of the people who come, this is likely the only time they leave the metro[...]
My mom recently made me come get a bunch of stuff from her house. Stuff that I've left there basically since I left home 11(?) years ago. I suggested she just throw it all in the trash, and asked if I could throw it in her trash, but she told me I can throw it away after I get it out of her house. U[...]
Holy smokes, I'm still alive! I feel like I haven't posted in forever! I'm still kickin' though... just haven't been feeling inspired to write anything, despite things happening, and me thinking, "man, I should blog about that." Well, I'll start with my favorite thing to happen recently - I w[...]
