One small step for man…one giant leap for Mom

Avery decided that After Christmas she wasn’t going to wear pull ups to bed anymore.  I was apprehensive…
Yesterday we went to the store and I told her we were going to get rubber pants.  But then I started thinking “Will they really hold in the tinkle?”  No.  So I skipped that option and bought her [...]

Four Christmases

It’s Monday morning (I tried to block that from my thoughts) and it’s raining and windy enough to blow the neighbor’s trash all over our yard (I’d ignore that too but it’s hard not to look out the window) and I’ve had a crappy start to my morning. 
So to cheer myself up, I thought I would share some [...]

How to determine the sex of your unborn child

Without the use of an ultrasound.  Hubby figured it out last night.  It was so brillant I had to share.
It’s no secret that the *girls* have gotten exponentially larger in the past month.  It’s scary, really.  So last night Hubby says to me:
