• The Birth of My Princess

    princessI had always said that I wanted 4 kids.  My hubby said, “No – 2 is fine”.  I offered a compromise and said “How about 3?” He again was adamant that 2 was fine.  But for some reason, my family didn’t feel complete.

  • My Birth of My Pumpkin

    pumpkinI was pregnant again and my doctor had told me that my due date was December 13th, but that this was going to be a big baby.  I remember during one appointment, my doctor did an ultrasound and said, “You’re going to have a boy and he is NOT shy!”  Our little boy was in my belly, arms and legs somewhat outstretched and his privates were very obvious!  

  • The Day It All Began

    It was just six days before Christmas.  I was eight months pregnant, it was the holidays.  A lot of the presents were not yet purchased or wrapped, to say the least.  The Christmas tree was up but not trimmed.  More importantly, the nursery was a skeleton of what it was supposed to be.  After all, we had a whole month to go before our little cherub would be born.
