I just wandered back to ol’ Ruby Pines Adventures in Arkansas to see that my last post was three days before the birth of my son (over two months ago). You know all that stuff people say about babies taking up all your time and energy? Well, it’s true! It seems ridiculous that I haven’t [...]

So this baby could be here ANY DAY! I feel as ready as a person could be. You always feel like there is more to read or learn, but at the same time I’m just ready to experience it for myself. I have the most supportive husband a girl could ask for. He has prepared [...]

Five months down, four to go. I can’t believe I’m over halfway through this whole pregnancy thing. The time has flown by. I have a feeling these next four months will do the same, especially since I’m working five days a week again. I’m just so thankful to feel so healthy and energetic. I hope [...]

I am now 18 weeks pregnant. The baby’s due date is September 5th. When I found out I was pregnant, I had no plan, no real information about anything baby/birth related. I immediately ordered a pile of books from Amazon. I’ve also had friends lend me books or recommend some.
After reading and doing some research, [...]
