It’s official!!! My water broke and I’m at the hospital. It’s 11:18am and the pitocin is doing its job. Since I’m otherwise occupied, check Jason’s blog (manontheinside.com) for updates and more info through the day.
Jason and I are so excited and grateful to have so many people like you who already love our little guy.

It’s 5:42 am and I think my water just broke – not sure since I haven’t been sure of anything when it comes to being pregnant – but fairly certain. So, we’ve called the doctor and we’re headed to the hospital to check it out!
Not feeling contractions. Yesterday was 3 weeks till the due date. [...]

I agree that changes in our country need to be made – not necessarily the [...]

About a week ago I remember thinking, “What are all those people talking about when they say that the last trimester is miserable? I feel great! I could be pregnant forever and that would be fine. That way I would have a little more time to get my list done…”
Fast forward to this week….I now [...]

The Art of Photo Taking

What makes a good photo?
