Yesterday was beautiful, so I rolled down the windows to hear the horrible sound of a “POP.” Remember how we had to get our car fixed? The front right door needed to be replaced because someone hit us in the Jamba Juice parking lot on campus (and since then, I’m terrified to drive through there). […]
Morning after morning now I have woken up because of this stupid cold–not being able to breathe. It’s been going on for TWO weeks now. Two. It is ridiculous and out of control. I cannot tell you how many Tylenol Cold pills I’ve taken (with the approval and recommendation of my doctor), how many orange […]
A new baby has come to the Derrick family today. Lindsay, T.J.’s brother’s wife, had her baby this afternoon. We got to visit them this evening and, boy, is she a doll. The new parents! The happy mother, Lindsay! You better believe I cried while holding her. Two more weeks, two more weeks! So much […]
Last Saturday, my friends threw me a baby shower and it was just lovely, plus it was great to catch up with old friends. We got a lot of gifts, including a diaper jeanie, playmat, clothes, and books. All we need now is the baby! Check out this spread… don’t I have the greatest friends? […]
About a week ago, I found out about the Justin Bieber-Baby Daddy Scandal. When my friend told me, I turned down JB’s Christmas album so I could get some more details. I’ve been reading up about it and am PRAYING, okay not really praying, but WISHING on 11/11/11 at 11:11 that it is not his […]
Here is one my creations, inspired from Pinterest. Just some simple artwork for our living room. I had all the paper and paint on hand-all I had to buy were the frames which were $1 each at Walmart. And, I thought I would share this cute photo. At the end of one of our Book […]
The family cradle in our bedroom with a hand crocheted blanket I got from my mother-in-law. Some of the books we’ve got lying around that I’ve been reading (thanks to all the reminders of my mother). The darling elephant board my sister-in-law made us. The changing table and wall art (thank you Pinterest for the […]
This week I’ve had a cold, so I stayed in, except for a couple of little walks and picking up T.J. from school. By Friday, I realized I hadn’t worn makeup for days or worn a cute outfit so I decided I’d have a delicious dinner ready for T.J. when he got home and be […]
So a couple of people have told me that I should watch some birth videos before I have this babe. Back in high school, I closed my eyes for the Miracle of Birth. Back then, I was so disturbed by the idea of all of this, I told my mom that I was never going […]
