I’ve been nesting hardcore around here lately. Now that the busyness of the holidays is over, I’ve suddenly realized that the next big event is… baby! And that occurs in approximately a month. Sooo, it’s go time. We have to do ALL THE THINGS: clean, move furniture, organize, find all the baby stuff that we stashed […]
Merry Christmas, friends! On this sixth day of Christmas, I wanted to share some thoughts about “the holidays.” It seems to me that Christmas and New Year’s can be the most joyful and difficult times for so many people – quite a feeling-filled and polarizing way to end the calendar year. People who’ve experienced significant […]
Seven Quick Takes Now hosted at Kelly’s! Thanksgiving is over and gone. It was last Thursday. But I’m going to be the lamest of lame and squeeze a post out of it. #sorrynotsorry This is a “things I’m thankful for” quick takes, but it’s more of a “first world” kind of gratitude. I know there’s […]
Yay! First time five-favorite-er here. I’m excited to share five random faves with the masses. Linking up with Jenna at Call Her Happy. ONE Aquaphor Healing Ointment Because the weather has taken a decidedly wintry turn, and tis the season for cracked knuckles and dry dry dry skin. I only use this on my hands, […]

All 83 surgeries were conducted […]
My kiddo is obsessed with elevators. We cannot walk past one without many excited exclamations. He also can’t pronounce it at all, and it comes out sounding kind of French, like “el-eh-bel-UR.” Only all smooshed together. Elebleur. We refer to Target as the elevator store. I’m pretty sure the main reason he likes going to […]
Look at this kid. Pure joy.
To commemorate Pope John Paul II’s first feast day as an official saint, we threw a party! I searched the internet for some Polish-pope-saint inspiration but pickings were slim. I know this will quickly change (because a saint as awesome as John Paul is sure to inspire his share of parties) but here’s my contribution […]
1. Ahhh, vacation block. The most wonderful (two) time(s) of the year. Med-peds residents at UH get two 2-week blocks of vacation every year and we’re into the second half of one of ours now. It’s a staycation for us this year but there has been plenty to keep us busy… and this is probably […]
1. Last week we had our 18-week ultrasound wherein baby got the head-to-toe and we counted fingers, etc. (I think Dominic’s big ultrasound was at 20 weeks, but whatever. Due dates are totally bogus anyway.) I gotta say, this kid’s looking pretty good already. 2. We opted not to find out if baby is he […]
