Young And Pregnant. Let The Rudeness Begin.

February 21, 2010 · Parenting · 27 comments

Note: I’m not pregnant, sorry for the confusion! This post is about the pregnancy with our 22 month old. Seeing those two pink lines instantly appear on the two pregnancy tests I took? Best thing ever. Calling Greg up while he was in class (college) taking a test? Best thing ever. But when Greg and I announced our pregnancy with Jayden, we got some pretty rude comments. The general rule for replying to a pregnancy announcement is saying “Congratulations” or expressing some sort of happiness, no ifs, ands, or buts. These people obviously didn’t get the memo. Greg: Sheena’s pregnant! ... CONTINUE READING THIS POST →

Growth Spurt Alert

My Big Silly Boy

Those of you who have been following me at my old blog know how concerned I was with Jayden’s weight. Once we introduced him to solids and he stopped nursing as much, his weight began to flatline. I’d dread going in for his well visits because he was not gaining weight. Being told that he is on the lower end of the charts for his weight (although he looked perfectly fine) got quite annoying. I know those charts are full of it, but growing up skinny (and feeling like a total runt amongst peers and other family members) has made ... CONTINUE READING THIS POST →

It is the first thing that I noticed when I stepped foot in the café for the first time. The colors are simply amazing. I’m participating in Popinjay, a weekly concept photo challenge. This week’s challenge was BOLD. Next week’s challenge is FREE. Join us. Sidenote: Popinjay is a trending topic on Google. I wonder why?

SealyMattress

Bizzie Mommy is having a giveaway for a Sealy Posturepedic® Signature 11-Series innerspring mattress and she’s asked bloggers to blog about why they need a new mattress as a way of entering. Well, my reason is simple. We’ve been sleeping on an air mattress since Summer of 2008. When we moved from Southern Illinois, we left our mattress behind because it didn’t fit in our UHAUL. We had both stayed up the night before moving trying to finish up around the house because once we hit the road, there was no turning back. The mattress should have been one of ...

Swooned By Google Chrome

Google Chrome Wood

I’ve always liked Google Chrome and I would use it occasionally because its performance was substantially faster than Mozilla Firefox. What kept me from using it as a default browser? Its lack of browser extensions. Well, now there are extensions available for Chrome. I was able to find an Chrome extension to replace almost every Firefox extension I had. I love how fast the Google Chrome extensions install. I don’t even have to restart the browser each time I install one. Here’s a list of Google Chrome extensions I have Running: LastPass SmoothScroll IE Tab Google Mail Checker WiseStamp Better ... CONTINUE READING THIS POST →
