Goings On

By jesser | Published: 8:33 am

I have nothing in particular to write about today… Rumor has it that the end table for the nursery was finished last night. But since Matt rolled into bed around 2:30 AM with this announcement, I have not seen it and I don't have any photos. In any case, it still needs to be varnished. [...]

Bunny Luv

By jesser | Published: 7:18 am

Saturday Night, post shower, I snapped a few photos of my sis, Kelly, and one of her bunnies, Hoover, who was out of his cage for a little dog and bunny show. Hoov is a funny bunny, absolutely food-motivated and one of his faves is oranges. He absolutely digs in and when he's all finished, [...]

Pink Overload!

By jesser | Published: 8:15 am

We had a nice weekend as usual. On Saturday, we had the first baby shower for little miss (she's having another next Saturday), given by our good friends Mike & Holly. It was a really fun, casual co-ed affair where all our friends spoiled our little one and us shamelessly. Matt's step mom, Sherrie, even [...]

Trite Title, but TGIF

By jesser | Published: 11:33 am

I won't lie … it was a long week for me kids. We've been so busy with life that I've hardly spent any time at home that wasn't dedicated to sleep. But it was a good week. We went to our second childbirth class on Tuesday. We got more in-depth into the whole process and [...]

Thurday Meme Cop-Out

By jesser | Published: 6:38 am

1. What color are your bedroom walls? A sort of tan color that was here when we bought the place. It's not stark white and I don't hate it. But I don't love it either. I just haven't had the desire to paint the vaulted ceilings. 2. What book are you reading now? High School [...]

Frozen Assets

By jesser | Published: 8:29 am

In preparation for little one's arrival, Matt and I have been making double batches of our dinners and freezing half (or more) so that we'll have some eatables in the fridge when we're busy with the absorbing task of caring for a newborn. So far we've made: – baked ziti – clam chowder – chili [...]

Preparations Gliding Along

By jesser | Published: 10:41 am

As we hit 34 weeks, things are gliding along in the nursery … literally. Mom and I spent most of Saturday recovering the hand-me-down glider that Holly gave me in the cute fabric you see above. It's called “Hula-Hoops” but it reminds me of Froot Loops too. Neither of us are real seasoned pros at [...]
