Comparing baby bumps

July 2, 2011

My husband, Caroline, and I took advantage of the beautiful weather this morning and went for a long walk in the woods. As you can see I’m still carrying Baby Cotsford in my belly. The walk felt good though by the end I was hot, hungry, and having to pee.  

Yes, I’m due soon

June 30, 2011

Yes, I’m due soon. This is the answer I’ve been handing out these days. It seems everywhere I go I’ve got children staring at my big belly, moms rubbing it for good luck, grandma’s offering a knowing smile. Honestly I don’t mind. I enjoy the conversation that seems to flow easily these days between strangers. [...]

The Stork has arrived!

June 26, 2011

After a beautiful, gentle birth, Miss Lillian Nordstrom Carr embraced the world early this morning, weighing 6 lbs 10 oz and measuring 19 inches. She is simply precious! I am so proud of my cousin. Just wait till you hear her story!

Baby Carr update

  I’ve made it to 38 weeks and am excited to make it another two weeks to Baby Carr’s due date of July 6th!  She is continuing to grow and expand my ever growing belly!  I’m delight that I’ve made it this far and look forward to her arrival!  The hospital bags have been packed [...]

Baby Cotsford Update

June 22, 2011

I wish I had more exciting pictures to share with you than my big belly. No, this little guy is enjoying himself inside of his mommy. Don’t be surprise if you see me again next week in the same position just a little bit bigger. I have a feeling this little guy isn’t interested in [...]

Mommy, Carry Me Please

June 9, 2011

I was so inspired by Rev’s post yesterday, I decided to follow up with a similar post of my own.  Yesterday, Charlotte and I went to the last spring session of toddler story hour at our library.  It was strange for me to think that when story time resumes in a month, I’ll already most [...]

I Did It!

May 30, 2011

After a rocky start to last week (sick in bed with a cold), I started this week healthy and determined to make it past 34 weeks and 3 days (the time when I delivered Charlotte).  I’m happy to report that as of Friday  I’ll  made it past 34 weeks and 3 days without the arrival [...]

33 weeks and Counting

May 19, 2011

  Charlotte and I capped off our dreary week with breakfast in bed this morning catching up on the news and spending some much needed time cuddling! Today was the first day since Saturday morning that we’ve seen a little bit of sunshine and we couldn’t be happier! The New England weather was cold and [...]

Baby Bump Update

May 12, 2011

Yesterday was the start of my 32nd week.  I can’t believe that I only have eight more weeks to go.  At 32 weeks with Charlotte I was only two weeks away from meeting my baby girl and as excited as I am to meet this little one I’m glad that I won’t be delivering as [...]

Dangling Conversations

May 9, 2011

There is a beautiful sound of silence as I stand in the kitchen on a sunny May afternoon washing the countertops with the smell of bread baking in the oven.  Charlotte is asleep in her big girl bed and Macie dog asleep on her dog bed and I’m enjoying the sound of silence.  iTunes is [...]
