The Nursery

I’ve finally got the nursery to a point where I like it…     One thing you don’t see?  A rocking chair.  That’s because we didn’t have one when I took these photos… but we have one now! The rocking chair is in the corner where the swing was, so just imagine it there with… Read More The Nursery

Summer…

…is a long ways away from New Zealand.  We are heading into winter! View from one of our windows Winter in New Zealand means many things to me.  It means: Cups of hot (decaf) tea with milk Cups of hot cocoa (Cadbury brand, naturally – what else would I drink in NZ?!) Raincoats and mudboots… Read More Summer…

Special Delivery

We have diapers! Lots and lots… …of baby diapers! When Chris was unloading them from his trip back to the States, I said, “Ooooh – so many diapers!”  He responded by saying, “I said the same thing, but in a much different tone of voice!” In the end, I decided to purchase a mix of… Read More Special Delivery

Felt.co.nz

Now that I know that I can officially begin to decorate the nursery, I’ve been looking to buy a few more prints to go on the walls. Have you heard about Felt?  I came across it a few weeks ago.  It’s kind of like the New Zealand version of Etsy.  They have an entire section… Read More Felt.co.nz

Lots to Do

Up till this week, not much progress has been made in baby boy’s nursery.  We had a lot of stuff that needed doing: Yikes – talk about a cluttered room.  This photo makes it look so dark and tiny in there, too. I’m happy to say that progress has been made thanks to some muscles… Read More Lots to Do

Baby Bassinet

We’re part of a pretty great church here in New Zealand.  When we found out that we were expecting, one of the women in the church came up and offered us the use of her family’s bassinet.  I knew that I wanted to have a bassinet or cradle for the first few month’s of baby… Read More Baby Bassinet

Something to Think About

Did you know that over two-thirds of American parents have not stipulated guardians for their children?  That’s a lot of children.  We didn’t want to fall into that particular statistic, so we had the slightly depressing conversation about what we would want in the instance that we died or were unable to care for baby… Read More Something to Think About

Oyako Mei-Tai

When you hear the word “mei-tai”, you might be thinking “alcoholic beverage” {or, if you’re a family member of my husband’s, you might be thinking of a certain adorably named dog}.  Wrong!  That would be a mai tai, which sounds fabulous to this pregnant lady right now but isn’t going to be on the menu… Read More Oyako Mei-Tai

The Stroller

Several people have wondered which stroller we decided to purchase for baby boy.  So, without further ado, I give you the Baby Jogger City Mini 2011 in black! image via I’m so happy with this stroller.  It satisfies my 3 main criteria that any stroller must meet: One handed fold {So easy!  You pull up… Read More The Stroller

Today, I’m thankful for Andrea, Brooke, Catherine, Emma, Erin, Danae, Jane, Rebecca, and Shannon. All of the above were at my baby shower on Saturday.  It was so much fun!  During one of the many moments of laughter and chit-chat, I looked out and felt a lot of gratitude.  One of my worries regarding moving… Read More Thankful

Thanks :-)

Thank you so much for the many congratulations and comments about our Kiwi baby boy.  It really was amazing to lie on the table and see everything on the screen above me.  The radiologist even did a few 3D images, which I have to say were just a bit strange but still cool 🙂 We… Read More Thanks 🙂

We’re Having A…

First off, everything looks healthy and just as it should.  We are definitely right on track with an estimated date of delivery for June 6th.  Our little baby was moving and kicking and swallowing and squirming – lots of activity! And thankfully, baby was cooperative and we were able to find out that we are… Read More We’re Having A…
