hello long lost friends!
My absence these past few weeks can be explained in the news that Mr. Jack is so eagerly sharing with everyone. We found out shortly before Christmas that baby #2 is on the way. And for me being pregnant= months of nausea, fatigue, and sparsely attended pity parties. So [...]

Garth and I are heading to the hospital tonight for some medical intervention to get little Jack born. I’ll be induced this evening with the hopes that he’ll be born sometime tomorrow, so I’ll be signing off here for a little while- but I’ll still try to tweet.
love and peas,

Visited labor and delivery and they hooked me up to the monitors. Jack is healthy and happy. My Doctor plans to induce on Thursday if Jack doesn’t make an effort to join the world by then.

This is the waiting week. I am just not able to sit around and prop my feet up- I need to be doing things! So I’m still working on the list….and to make myself feel better about my progress, here’s the updated list, with some modifications, and pictures!

The bassinet set that I made [...]

garth is so far away, even when we’re hugging!
I can sleep till noon.
our house occupancy is [...]

I have this long list in my journal entitled, Things to do pre-jack. Now, I don’t know how long we’ve got until he’s here, but I’ve been making these things a priority. Celebration is in order because I have been able to cross off number 8: wedding scrapbooks. (Wedding photo albums are [...]

The delightful folks at Etsy had their second annual baby shower last month, and I was one of the Moms that recieved gifts from amazing sellers! Here are the super groovy things that I’ve received in the mail:

Happy 37 weeks to baby Jack! He is now full term and while that means a little celebratory sigh of relief, it also means that another serious life change is going to happen here anytime in the next months or so. I have a list that I’ve entitled, “things to do pre-Jack” and [...]

More modern-ness to love!
