October 12-18 This week is the start of my third trimester–we’re in the home-stretch now! The final trimester! (Not counting that dreaded “4th trimester” of course, when I try to lose all the baby weight I’ve gained, all while breastfeeding, burping, and diaper changing non-stop–on zero sleep.

Looking for that perfect game day snack? I’ve got your answer right here! This spicy pretzel recipe–compliments of my friend Kadi–is super easy to make and tastes delicious! I imagine they’re even better with a nice cold beer, although it will be another three months or so before I’m able to test that theory–but feel
I received this as an email forward from my friend Jill and thought it was too good not to share. Enjoy! What Do You Do All Day?? A man came home from work and found his three children outside, still in their pajamas, playing in the mud, with empty food boxes and 20 wrappers strewn

I know you’re looking forward to a nursery post, so you may be happy to hear that this is somewhat related. G and I have always planned for the smallest bedroom (a.k.a the “4th bedroom“) across the hall from our master to one day be the nursery. Until that time we were using it as
September 28-October 4 Twenty-six weeks and our little girl is growing strong! She is approximately 9 inches long from crown to rump, and weighs about 2 pounds.
