March 28, 2011

It’s been another crazy week like last week, filled with two more trips to triage. The nurses have assured us that we ABSOLUTELY have done the right thing, but that I haven’t been far enough along to admit yet. Now that we’ve hit the 37 week mark (and my doctor has gotten back from her [...]

“when the world falls in love…every song you hear…seems to saaaaay…Merry Christmaaaaaas….toooooo youuuu” Have you heard Harry Connick, Jr.’s version of The Christmas Waltz?

Although I’m not working right now, I promise I’m using my time wisely. Want to see? I made pillow covers for my couches. I made the floral and yellow ones. The green ones and orange one (pictured later) came from the Room Essentials line from Target. I love the bright colors! I decided not to [...]

This Saturday, the decorating muse struck me and I put together our Valentine’s decorations. I couldn’t get a good picture to do it justice, but I really love it. So romantical.
