the other day, i saw a photo of myself mid-pregnancy. i remember feeling so big, and now i look back and think i look so itty-bitty. little lyon could be coming any day now. any day could be my last day with him in my belly, which means any day could be the biggest i […]

i met mallory just about a year ago at what we thought was going to be a normal starbucks. instead, it was a starbucks inside of an old, run-down grocery store. here we were, huddled around a tiny little table next to the produce department, discussing her wedding day. odd, right? but it didn’t throw […]

37 weeks – full term! he’s ready, and so is the nursery! he can officially arrive at any time and have somewhere to sleep, get changed, and even cry his little lyon heart out (but our baby will never cry, right? 😉 ) our third bedroom had been untouched since we moved into our house […]

all of a sudden, it’s close. i have 6 weeks to go until i’m ripe at 40 weeks and at my due date. 5 1/2 weeks, really. 39 more days. i’m kind of speechless…cuz, ya know, 39 days is like….nothin’. the closer i get to meeting the little lyon, the more my mind wanders. what’s […]
