Finally! Owen has been smiling for over a week now (real smiles – not just gas!) and we finally captured a photo of his grin. So far, his smile has definitely been my favorite milestone in his development. He just looks so cute when he sees me and his face lights up with a smile… Continue Reading
My sister is tying the knot next Saturday. Only a little more than five weeks after Owen’s birth. So I had no choice but to try on my bridesmaid dress a couple weeks ago to evaluate the damage and determine what alterations would be needed, if any. Needless to say, I was very nervous. What… Continue Reading
I can’t believe it’s been three weeks already since Owen arrived, yet I can’t remember what life was like before he was here. Owen has been monopolizing my time, so I haven’t had a chance to write anything lately. And this post may be very brief, depending on when Owen decides to wake up. I’ve… Continue Reading
Baby Kopp finally arrived!! And Richard was proven right – he’s a boy! Which was a relief, because when I saw his face for the first time before knowing his gender, I immediately thought “God, please let it be a boy because if not we have a very ugly girl.” After much deliberation that continued… Continue Reading

Only 5 weeks until Baby Kopp’s due date! I sure do hope they go by slowly, because we have so much left to do yet. I did finally start reading my breastfeeding and infant care books. And I’m close to finishing What to Expect When You’re Expecting – thank goodness! Richard and I also finished… Continue Reading
For Richard’s birthday, I decided to make him Peanut Butter S’mores bars rather than a cake, just because it was way too hot to bake a cake and I knew my buttercream frosting would become a melted mess in the heat. And considering our freezer is already packed, making an ice cream cake was not… Continue Reading
Time to get educated on all things related to childbirth and infant care! Richard and I began our baby classes at our hospital this past week. So far, they’ve left me feeling uneasy and intimidated. As for Richard, he’s more excited than ever after each class session. No surprise there – nothing motivates Richard more… Continue Reading
