I have decided to make this post all about Rachel, my 3-year-old, as the first of a series of blogs dedicated to each of my children. The main point of this is personal, so that I will remember life as it is now, since I am not keeping up with the baby books and scrapbooks …

Busyness
When people see me with 3 children, they almost always say, “I bet you have your hands full!” or “I bet they keep you busy!” But I don’t feel busy. I feel like my life has simplified since moving to Colorado (once the transition was over). Our days are not usually over-scheduled. We get up, we …

This too shall pass, but do I want it to?
I found myself thinking back this morning to Mother’s Day 2007. We had both sets of grandparents visiting and Rachel was just about six weeks old or so. Anyway, I woke up insanely early, I think around 4:30 a.m., with Rachel, and then never got back to sleep…so instead of breakfast in bed, or anything like …

I have a midwife!
Well ladies…because I assume most of you reading are ladies…I am super excited about having finally lined up prenatal/labor & delivery care in Colorado.

GRITS goes to Colorado
I have not posted in a long time, not because I didn’t have anything I wanted to write about, but because I was waiting for the right time (as in, the time approved by my darling hubby) to make our big news publicly known–We are moving to Ault, CO!! Tim has accepted a job as the …

Third Trimester Ponderings
This past Wednesday I hit the magic 28-week mark in this pregnancy, which signals the official entry into the third trimester. This being my third time around, I can’t help reflecting on differences between how I am feeling now versus when I was expecting our first or second child. Maybe some of you can relate! I …
