Cozy on up by the fireplace

I realize I do a lot of these bulleted blog posts. Hopefully they’re not annoying but sometimes I have a lot of random things to say and this seems like the best way to do it. I did my nails last night for the first time in forever. Including my toe nails. Guys, do you […]

Weekend Happenings

36 Weeks Friday night, T.J. promised he’d take me out to eat so we chose Red Robin. I love that place because of their fries (obvs.) and you can substitute a turkey burger for the regular burger AND they have this awesome pretzel bun right now that you can also substitute for a regular bun. […]

“Is this real life?”

You remember in that YouTube video David After the Dentist where he asks his dad if this is real life? Last night when I was laying in bed with those cramps, I worried myself to the point of where I thought, “Could I really be going into labor? Is this really happening? Is this real […]

At certain points through the night they’ve reallllly hurt and have moved all around the stomach, right now it’s really hurting underneath my belly button. I want it to be 8:00 am so I can call […]
