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: Deer print from JenniferDennisPotter. So Sweet! This adorable “bean” hat from Ilashdesigns. and…these amazing tees from holdentees. [...]

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 I’m feeling [...]

More modern-ness to love! 2modern has some lovely room ideas- these are my two favorites: In the Woods from 2modern. Green is Keen from 2modern. And during some of my own scavenging I came up with these: I ADORE this Sparrow crib from Oeuf. The Ubi Baby Deluxe changing table, and handknit aliens from Modern [...]

happy things! Laura. =)

We had our 20 week ultrasound yesterday. They warmed up the goo for me, which was really considerate. It was pouring rain outside and I was early and Garth was late so he almost missed it and entered looking like he’d been swimming. Below are a few of the photos that we went home with. [...]

Pregnancy does not make me crave strange foods. As a vegetarian I wondered how I would handle a fried chicken craving (and how my body would handle it having been on a vegetarian diet for 8 years now!), but the opposite has been true. I haven’t wanted to eat some of my favorite foods. Most [...]

If you are fans of Joshua and Julie Lee then you were expecting this little announcement. They welcomed little Samuel into their family this last weekend! From what I remember, he looks much like the newborn Joshua… hmmm… More baby shout outs: The foxiest lady ever, Jandre Sherwood recently had her second child, little Micah, [...]

Now it’s really undeniable. I was half expecting the Doctor to tell me that they’d made a mistake and that I wasn’t really pregnant but suffering from some strange tropical disease. Instead, they pulled out the ultrasound machine and Garth and I watched as something that looks very much like a baby danced around on [...]
