Did Someone Say Cake?

I love cake. Good cake. You know, double (or triple) layers of cream made of butter and sugar between dense moist, awesomeness. A year ago for Tucker's first birthday, we had a pretty awesome cake. But Tucker didn't get to eat a slice. He just wasn't there yet with eating solid foods, he was only eating pureed food. We decided to freeze a big chunk, I couldn't bare for this kid to miss out on eating his first birthday cake. It's kind of a big deal. We were hoping at some point this year, he ... View the Post

An Old Fashioned Tucker Report

When Tucker was in the hospital, like many families, we kept a Caringbridge page for updates. Many days I would issue the "Tucker Report" highlighting where we were and what the day had brought, his new weight, if he ate, how many bradys he'd had etc. It's been quite a while since I wrote a good old fashioned Tucker Report. It's totally ok if you want to skip through the report and get to the pictures. For a good snicker though, read the last two paragraphs. We're a month away from his 2nd ... View the Post

The Arch Enemy of Preemies

I was either stupid enough or brave enough to visit Target on a Saturday a few weeks ago. We needed baby food. And they have the widest variety. (Read: they have throw pillows and cute earrings).

Who Is This Rookie?

I don't trust people who don't like sweets. Monica Gellar is my spirit animal. I work. I write. I mom. I pray. I wife. I eat. I go. First kid was born at 24 weeks and spent 151 days in the NICU-well that didn't go as planned. He fought and we cheered. I started writing during that time. Second kid was born on a Thursday night-her birthmom's hand in mine both of us crying happy tears. You'll find posts here about cheesecake, adoption, kindergarten shenanigans, hard stuff, Dolly Parton and whatever else I want. And you'll like it young lady. Thanks for reading. I always love adding to the team. Especially if you bring team snacks.
