We’re hoping to move into a larger apartment in our building at some point this year. In the meantime, we’re going to make due with the space in our current place. We love our apartment and it’s been perfect for two people, but it’s going to be a bit cramped when Peanut arrives along with [...]

One of the totally awesome hand-me-downs we received recently is a Baby Bjorn. I brought it home last night and had Mitch try it on. Once I got him suited up, I asked him if I could put the cat in it, but he said no. He’s no fun!

To take the test, I first had to drink some nasty tasting orange liquid. It was so sweet that I thought it was going to rot the teeth right out of my mouth. Within 15-20 minutes of [...]
Let the cravings begin.

Lots of people have asked if I’ve been having any weird cravings since I got pregnant. I answered that some of my favorite foods have been less appealing-the smell, taste or texture totally turned me off. When I was suffering from morning sickness, I ate really bland stuff. Applesauce and raisin bran were the only [...]
