My Childrens’ Birthdays
With the boys’ “birth” day recently and Kelsie’s birthday coming up, I can’t help but think about a very odd coincidence that has happened in our family.

6 Things Someone Should Have Told Me About Baby
This is a guest post from Jenn at Rebel Chick. Jenn is a 30′s something wife and mom who blogs at Therebelchick.com about her crazy life. I was at the ripe old age of 19 when I had my daughter, so I was pretty naive. I was a single mom-to-be and I had no idea what I was… [Continue Reading]

An Involuntary Day Away from the NICU
Overnight, I developed the worst case of stomach flu ever.

Nathan and Lucas’ Birth Story:Part 2
This is probably the more “exciting” portion of the boys’ birth story. As I said, we had no real warning signs that labor was on it’s way when we went for our appointment on Tuesday so greeting our boys was very surreal! Part 1 of their birth story is here. After the epidural, it was… [Continue Reading]
