Not "Real Labor", NICU, & Dad Quotes
This is going to be the best blog post ever. Why? Because BECKETT IS FINALLY HERE!!! This means a few things: 1) I’m not pregnant anymore. 2) The earth is now graced with the most precious little person in the world. 3) I will force all the world to look at endless pictures of him. If you aren’t interested in the story of his coming into the world (and no I’m not going to give disgusting details…no one wants to hear that) then skip to the bottom and view precious pictures before moving on with your day. Otherwise, here we go: Not “Real Labor” A week ago Friday night, I…
Wreath, Labor, & Blessings…I think
If you didn’t read the last post on this blog, you need to. My husband is so fantastic and so is his surprise guest post for my birthday. Seriously…read it here now. You’ll fall in love with him (in a strictly platonic way – otherwise I’ll kill you…in sisterly love). Beautiful, Paperful Wreath What have I been doing with my time? Still going strong with the nesting thing. I’m pretty sure the employees at Michael’s are beginning to recognize me. Last week I made a paper rosette wreath (seen first on Pinterest, my new love). It turned out really cute, but it literally took me 2 days to fold up…
Guest Speaker
Taylor here. Now I’m not much of a writer, and I’m almost certain that I was born without the right side of my brain because I don’t have one ounce of creativity. Works great being an accountant. Not so much for blogging. However, on this day in 1987, the most magnificent thing happened; my beautiful wife was born. So, impossible as it may be, it is my endeavor to put in words how blessed I am to be sharing life with this most wonderful woman. As you have probably figured out by now if you frequent this blog, Sarah and I are basically complete opposites. She’s creative, I am not.…
Mack & Nesting
This is a big week for team Brooks. We have three birthdays in the course of 5 days. That’s a whole lot of partying happening around these parts. Let’s start with the first man of the hour: Mack/Maximus/Mack Daddy (I also may or may not call him “Maxi Pad” on occasion. I can’t help it.) 4 years ago, Taylor and I made a horribly rash decision that has altered our lives for the hairier. We adopted this little guy: I’ve always been a huge animal lover, so when my birthday rolled around in the summer of 2007, I thought getting a dog would be the best present – and best…
New Dad, Google Search, Preferred Customer
I hope you find it as funny as I do that someone found our blog by Googling, “Can pregnant women eat Pringles?” In case you missed that entry, you should read all about my Pringles addiction. It’s shameful. Also, you may have noticed that I spent an extraordinary amount of time playing on our blog today. Gotta pass the time somehow. I’m huge. See progression below. We are 3 weeks and 2 days from the deadline for baby B. This is great news, except it seems like an eternity still. Do you realize that people are actually excited in Texas about possibly breaking the “hottest summer on record” record this…
