I twisted my own arm and took another pregnancy photo to share with all of you: 28.5 Weeks Pregnant I took this prior to my morning run, er, jog/fast walk. Lookin’ stylish in my maternity tank and runner’s tights, oh yeah. I’ve gotten most of what we need for baby boy… it’s just not here… Read More 28.5 Weeks = Bigger and Better + A Question On Car Seats
My husband has been great throughout this pregnancy. Actually, he’s been fabulous. But he’s still a guy, and we all know that, typically, guys aren’t quite as good as girls when it comes to sensitivity. Chris is no different from the rest of his fellow man in this area.

It feels like a little tap-tap, as though the baby’s saying, “Hey guys – I’m in here!” And my response… Read More All Kinds of Movement!

Labor and Delivery Just like in… Read More Pregnancy in New Zealand – Labor & Delivery
One thing about moving to another country – all of your “go to” shops suddenly become a bit harder to find! I was a little discouraged by this until I started discovering the many great New Zealand based companies and designers out there. I was so excited when I stumbled across the StickyTiki shop. New… Read More Nursery Ideas – StickyTiki Wall Decals
Hey everyone – I’ve gotten a few questions regarding the differences between being pregnant in the US and being pregnant in NZ.
