Part-Time Happy House Wife

I feel like I’m missing something when I come home from work, take care of Jules (which I really miss during the day), make dinner, and work on whatever project needs to be done (right now, it’s repairing some used BumGenius diapers I bought on diaper swappers.). So, I’m trying, with some success at being read more »

Pumpkins

I don’t know what else to call this, except, we went to a pumpkin patch with family. It was fun.

Proof of My Work

I don’t know why, but it seems I’m pretty good at passing tests while pregnant. Baby should be happy that I passed the 1 hour glucose test (mmmm yummy orange soda without the soda part). But they determined my iron levels were a tad low. Justin’s excited because they recommended MORE.RED.MEAT! Blah! I think two, read more »
