Last Saturday, my mother and sisters hosted our baby shower. I must confess that I despise showers, especially when I’m the one being showered. I think they’re extremely awkward with the unwrapping of gifts and the silly games. And being the center of attention is the last thing I want. However, I found our baby… Continue Reading
Happy Friday! Recently, I tackled another craft project for Baby Kopp’s room (Richard’s snarky reaction: “What else are you making NOW?”). I can’t help it…I keep finding cute ideas for nurseries that I can’t resist. Hopefully, Its room doesn’t end up looking too busy and overstuffed. Anyway, I decided to make bunting garland to hang… Continue Reading
I’m convinced my husband is trying to make me go into early labor. His idea of fun and easy is my idea of dangerous and hard. But there is no stopping Richard when he wants to tackle a challenge, even if it’s giving me an anxiety attack. I guess that’s what I get for marrying… Continue Reading
Well, I’m officially more than 30 weeks pregnant now (three-quarters of the way there!). But more importantly, my sister’s wedding is only 15 weeks away! Since we’re more than halfway through Emily and Sean’s engagement, I thought I’d give you a preview of their big day. But don’t expect me to reveal the good stuff… Continue Reading
I LOVE to read. Although, I confess, I haven’t gotten much reading done lately. It’s hard to read a good novel when your guilty conscience keeps telling you that you should be reading Your Baby’s First Year and The Everything Breastfeeding Book instead. I guess my love for reading is limited. I really only enjoy… Continue Reading
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
