• Welcome MJ

    “I think i’m pregnant” Allison said to me one April evening worry and dread on her face.  That thought had been eating away at her for  a few weeks now. It was entirely possible that less than a year after Olivia’s birth we could be pregnant again. Two kids back to back can be a daunting task even if you have lots of help and the financial resources to handle another mouth to feed. But…

  • An Exciting Conversation About a Difficult Thing

    Myke here on the blog today. It’s been a long month. To say that it has been jam packed with emotions would be an understatement.

Since Olivia was breeched, I don’t know what a “normal” feeling of a baby in…

She was a gem through out the whole thing, but mostly because we put her down for a solid 2 hour nap before people arrived so she was nice and rested. Since she won’t remember this day, Myke and I wanted to take a lot of pictures and we couldn’t wait to…
