I have my first baby shower this week. Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions regarding bringing a scrapbook page or pages with me as a part of the shower? I remember a friend having a blank page at her bridal shower and all of the guests signed it. Has anyone seen any neat ideas …
David and I arrived back home this afternoon from another long weekend at my parents’ home. We were just there three weeks ago, but we knew this was our last opportunity to get away before the baby comes. This was our LAST time away overnight with just the two of us. Between baby showers and …
I had a doctor’s appointment this morning and everything checked out fine. We had lunch, went to two places to finish up our registries (before our baby showers the next two weeks), and went to Costco to pick up a few things. All of the sudden the day is gone! So I still have spinning …
(Sorry for another pregnancy-related post. This is not a baby blog, even though it has resembled one lately.) Saturday morning I uttered those words that come to every pregnant woman at some time. It was time to get up, go down to the kitchen, test my blood, have my two insulin shots, and eat my …
Wednesday morning I had my regular OB appointment as well as the first NST (non-stress test) for Peanut. She had a beautiful test and the doctor said that she must be very happy in there. I told him that I’ve definitely noticed she has a mind of her own because lately when I lay on …
Our email was fixed last night a little while before midnight. 🙂 We are in the midst of a HEAT WAVE here in the Midwest. My, it is hot out there! I’m really hoping this is the last of the very hot weather for the summer. Nothing too profound today. I’m tired from the heat …
I found this post by KSMilkmaid while taking my pregnancy break a few months ago. I decided it was finally time to get it on here because it is so excellent. Don’t be put off by the title of Mirage: Christian Agrarian Communities (update: no longer available online anywhere). It is not so much about …
A few times in my life I’ve prayed very specifically about certain issues that have become landmarks in my life. One time I prayed very passionately for God to make me a patient person. I didn’t fully realize what I was asking at the time until God started answering it. I’ve also prayed very seriously …
I mentioned recently that we purchased a portable air conditioner for our upstairs. We live in a 1925 two-story Craftsman house and the duct system is less than desirable. Although we have a new furnace and central air, the upstairs does not have enough vents to keep it cool. We would set the first floor …
I wrote previously that David and I recently became members at our church. I am so, so thankful for our church. A few weeks ago we weren’t going to be there in the morning because I was not feeling well. David called our class teacher and shared a prayer request regarding my gestational diabetes so …
One of the drawbacks to being a family of two is that so many desserts make way too much for just David and me to eat them. I especially feel that way about cookies. While I can freeze all the extras, I usually get tired of them before they are gone. I was glad to …
David said at breakfast, “Well, now you can get back to your regular blogging.” Yes. Right after I clean out my mailbox! LOL! So I’ll be catching up on that and resuming my regular blogging. I’ve also been cleaning out my mailbox since we had our little server incident this weekend. In the process, I …
