I have said it before and I will say it again…I think that I truly belong in South Carolina. The hot weather, the mostly mild winters, and the slower pace just sounds wonderful to me. But as this summer continues on strong I am reminded that I’m not sure that I could financially survive down…

Dear Pooh Bear: 21 Weeks
Dear Pooh Bear, Happy 21 weeks little one! We have moved on into the 2nd half of this pregnancy, and you are treating your mommy well. So much has been going on recently to start preparing for your arrival. Last week your daddy and I ordered your nursery furniture, started to register, and began the…
Nursery Furniture: CHECK!
We did it! We made another HUGE decision and finally purchased our nursery furniture! (Thanks again mom and dad!) It feels so good to be able to check that off the list. I’m really good at once a decision is made moving on and not second guessing (well at least when it comes…

Dear Pooh Bear: 20 Weeks and Half Way There!
Dear Pooh Bear, Wow little one, can you believe that this week we hit the halfway mark of when your daddy and I get to meet you? Your mommy secretly hopes that you decide to come a little bit earlier than 40 weeks. Not too early, but just a little. Half way seems like such…
