We are home, safe, warm and hearts full – because look who has arrived: Michael Alexander Villa (#MAV) has hopped his way into our hearts. Melted my soul and has taken my breath away just about every second I look at him. Evan is an… Read More
So I started writing this the morning of – and am just getting around to finishing it up! Good morning/noon/night – from November 5th, 2014. This morning started off early. Me tossing and turning in bed, the impending “induction time” quickly approaching. I remember telling… Read More
After my previous EMO post, I thought I’d share some things I’m looking forward to post pregnancy (because it WILL end ha): Bending over. I am a yogi, I’m flexible, I touch my toes, stretch and do all that good spine stuff that is just… Read More

Well, as my second trimester draws to a close, I thought I’d write a bit about the past 27ish (21 of which I knew I was prego..)weeks. My. Goodness. I feel like this pregnancy really is almost the polar opposite of how I felt during my other… Read More
