slip n' slide a father's creation.

We had a great Father's Day. Spent the entire enjoying the company of Mason's great dad and my amazing husband. Mason loves his daddy. I feel like at times I get more out of it than anyone seeing the man that I love, nurture and tenderly shape our little guy into a man as sweet and caring as Tom is himself. I don't need a holiday to remind me of what a great father Tom is; he reminds of that every day that the three of us are together or as he teaches Mason how to wrestle on the floor, or as he rocks him gently to sleep. I am so lucky and so is this little peanut in my belly who is about to experience the amazing love of a father.

Welcome baby Harper

My sister and her husband Pete welcomed their baby girl Harper Marie Schaw on May15th. Tom, Mason and I just got back from a great visit in Seattle where we got to meet this little bundle of joy. Our first girl in the family! As you can see she is ADORABLE... Harrison is particularly sweet with her.

I tell my patients all the time every pregnancy is different. And man o man am I living that truth. This pregnancy is so different. For one I've had morning sickness for 7 months and counting, yet somehow I am managing to put on weight that seems out of my control. I'm exhausted at the end of the day but that may have something to do with chasing a toddler around. This little guy is a mover. I thought Mason kicked a lot but this little boy is putting Mason's kicks to sham. That does make me a little nervous because if that is any indication as to how active they are as babies, we are screwed! I am feeling much more connected to this baby in my belly, I think the first go around the entire thing seemed so surreal. But now I can imagine a little person in there and every time he kicks or moves I tell him a little hello and let him know of all the great people that are out here waiting to meet him. For now he is making me look like I swallowed a basketball and I'm sure my hips will forgive him in a few months or so.
