Beauty, Untouched

August 30, 2004

It was eight days past the due date, I was feeling huge and beyond uncomfortable. The birth pool had been set up in my bedroom for almost two weeks and it was beginning to feel like a permanent fixture. I’d been having contractions every night the last few days that got regular, but [...]

Baby boy #2 is still refusing to come out. My sister-in-law has been in town from NYC since last Sunday, her trip planned as a trip to arrive AFTER the baby. My mother-in-law arrived yesterday from AZ. Now, I know they are excited about the baby, and so am I…but their presence [...]

Arianne, Oh Arianne

August 22, 2004

Well today is the day. Its 6:30pm on the DUE DATE and I’m sitting here still pregnant as ever, not a single sign of impending-events-that-change-life-forever.

As if being “over due” [...]

Welcome to our family blog! We are happy to have a fun place to blog about life and post goofy pictures of our family. Jacob and I will both be posting from time to time, but since Jacob is very busy and very important most of the ramblings will usually come from me. [...]
