I Need a Nap
Somehow Mildred manages to sleep all the time, but I still don’t manage to get a nap, or any sleep at all, unless someone else is here to watch her. It’s like she knows that I have laid down and she doesn’t like it. Fortunately, there are lots of people who want to hang out…
Read MoreBookish Questions – What do you do with books you no longer want?
What do you do with books you no longer want? When we set up Mildred’s room, I had to get rid of my big beautiful bookshelf. There simply wasn’t room for the bookshelf and all of her new things. So, I pulled all of the books from the bookshelves and stored them in boxes. But,…
Read MoreBook It!
This month’s Book It! post is a little late in arriving. I normally post these on the last Monday of the month, but with Mildred home now, I’ve been spending most of my spare time sleeping. And I completely forgot about getting this post up for you. However, late is better than never. And since…
Read MoreBookish Questions – What do You Read to Relax?
What do you read to relax? I normally read Nancy Drew or Hardy Boys as a relaxing read before bed, but I’m running out of books I haven’t read for a while. And with a brand new baby in the house, I am exhausted. But that doesn’t mean that I’m getting much sleep. So, I’m…
Read MoreWelcome Spot!
Today was supposed to be a post about my 37th week of pregnancy, however baby Turner, henceforth known as Mildred Jane, decided to show up early.

Read MoreBookish Questions – Favorite Cover Art?
What book has your favorite cover art? For me, the cover art of a book is a big deal, especially if it’s a book I love. I think it’s the artist in me. I want to have a beautiful copy of my book that I can display, and that really conveys the atmosphere of the…
Read MoreFashion Friday – Mommy & Me
As an expectant mom, I have noticed a trend lately of dressing your child to match your outfit, particularly among mothers and daughters. As a general rule, I’m not sure how I feel about this trend. I feel like it’s the sort of thing that my child will look back on and hate. But at…
Read More35 Weeks
Yesterday marked 35 weeks of pregnancy. It was a pretty calm week at the office, which was much appreciated since Spot found another way to cause problems. For some unknown reason, my blood pressure was high at last Friday’s NST (Non-Stress Test). Spot looked fine, of course, but the increase in blood pressure meant that…
