It’s been a really long time since I last sat in front of a keyboard to share an update about our life. The last time I wrote here, I was in the throes of weaning my toddler and still very sleep deprived. W is now 3-years-old, registered for Kindergarten in the Fall and growing like […]

Hi everyone, sorry to have fallen off of the pregnancy updates. Life has been crazy busy with the high-risk diagnosis, my sister having her second son in October, and now the holiday season.

I have good news to share… I am pregnant!  I’ve already reached the halfway point and am 20 weeks pregnant this week. I tried to keep the news fairly private until about 16 weeks because my last pregnancy ended with a miscarriage at 15 weeks. It honestly never feels like I’m in the “safe” zone […]
