I was a bit speechless this week when I read my “27 Week” recap which stated that a baby born now, has a good chance of surviving with significant medical assistance. I mean that is great to hear, but it’s still very scary to know that a baby can come any as early as the […]

Wordless Wednesdays: A Bad Haircut
These pictures clearly speak for themselves, but I just want to emphasize that both my husband and I, were extremely upset to find our very fluffy dogs were practically hairless when we picked them up from the groomers this weekend. Yes, they were very matted and needed a good trim, but it’s Winter for God’s […]

25 Weeks Pregnant
This week in my pregnancy countdown, my baby is the size of a rutabuga (a large round yellow-fleshed root that is eaten as a vegetable) and about 13 1/2 inches long. Baby is still working on building up some fat and looking more and more like a new born (instead of an alien? hehe). Nothing […]
