18 weeks, and all I have to say is, heartburn?! Already?! Yeah. But it’s not too bad …Yet… as long as I watch the carbs and don’t eat too much at one time. Even though I had heartburn really bad (or at least what I consider to be bad) with Garrett, it was never something that I thought about after Keep Reading
Project Fit Pregnancy: Week 17
Last Thursday night, I was laying in bed and just could not get to sleep. You know how it is, the ol’ brain just won’t shut down.

Random Ramblings on Cloth Diapering

Fit And Healthy Pregnancy
I haven’t really talked about fitness much on this blog. Maybe mentioned running a time or two, but that’s all. As of today, that’s going to change. Gabriel and I are kind of fitness nuts.

Homemade Baby food
Every time I walk past the baby food isle in the grocery store I find myself wondering: do people really feed their babies that? I mean on a regular basis. There are circumstances where I can definitely see buying jarred baby food - like on a long car trip or something. It’d just be easier. But Keep Reading
