I hope you had a wonderful Easter holiday this past weekend. Richard and I sure did! Richard’s mom, Lucy, came to visit for the weekend and we went to my grandmother’s house on Saturday to celebrate Easter with my mother, sisters and grandmother. Because I’m a huge dork and a fan of arts and crafts,… Continue Reading
This past weekend, Richard and I finally ventured to Babies “R” Us to create our baby registry. We went with about as much enthusiasm as two people being sent to prison. But we couldn’t put it off any longer, since my sisters are itching to get the baby shower invites in the mail. Now, I… Continue Reading
As I mentioned in my last posting, Richard and I have begun preparing Baby Kopp’s room. Not that it looks like much yet. It’s packed with stuff, since we have both our guest bedroom furniture and our new nursery items crammed in there together. It looks more like a locker from Storage Wars than a… Continue Reading
Happy Friday! I can’t believe March is almost over; this month is really flying by. We’ve finally begun to really make some preparations for Baby Kopp. We purchased a crib and a mattress, as well as a storage bench for baby toys. Since Richard doesn’t like to have unfinished projects (unlike me…I prefer the philosophy… Continue Reading
When I first started this blog with introductions, I wrote that I would introduce you to more of my friends and family along the way. Well, it’s time for me to introduce Lucy, my mother-in-law. Since Lucy is Irish and tomorrow is St. Patty’s Day, I figure now’s the perfect time to write about her.… Continue Reading
Well, we won’t be able to keep calling it Baby Kopp forever, even though I’ve gotten rather used to it. And since I’m super indecisive and picky, Richard and I really need to get to work narrowing down our list of name possibilities. The next four months are going to go by fast and I… Continue Reading
Happy March! This month really did come in like a lion for me. On the first day of the month, I thought I felt something. And by Friday night, I was sure of it – the feeling was Baby Kopp moving around. Very exciting, but also very strange. It’s odd to be aware of something… Continue Reading
Another milestone out of the way – I had my first ultrasound on Monday night. I promise not to go on and on about how cute it is and how much it looks like Richard, because – let’s be honest – all ultrasound pictures look basically the same. You’ve seen one, you’ve seen them all.… Continue Reading
Happy Monday! Richard and I haven’t announced our pregnancy to all of our friends, family, and co-workers yet, so we decided to do something special to share the news with them. I checked out pregnancy announcement ideas online and found a really cute photo idea on Pinterest that I decided to steal/copy. Richard and I… Continue Reading
Lent arrived on Wednesday, which means time to sacrifice something for 40 days. I wonder if I get a pass this year because I’m pregnant? Usually I go all out and give up something AND do something. For example, last year I gave up sweets and ice cream (crazy right?) and I also curbed my… Continue Reading
