Although at one point I was sure I’d be pregnant forever, my baby boy FINALLY decided to make an appearance! Evan Richard was born on April 5th, 2009 at 7:21 pm. He weighed 7 lbs 12 oz and was 20.5 inches long. He’s got red hair like his daddy and blue eyes like me. My [...]
One of my favorite things about the Oscars – or any awards show – is watching the nominees making their best “gracious loser” face after the winner is announced. You have to look happy for the actor/actress who won while trying to hide your own shock and disappointment that it’s NOT YOU. There’s a great [...]
Military life is full of waiting. It’s one of the first things you learn when you sign on to be a military spouse. But lately it feels more like a full stop than just a hold. No matter how many times I check it’s always “not time yet.” Sometimes I think my clocks are [...]
…I am an adult. Grown up. Mature. Responsible. If anything can make you feel like this, it’s the holidays. Here’s my proof:
1. On Christmas morning I woke up at 8 am, checked the clock and thought “Thank God no one here is under the age of 20 – I can go back to sleep for [...]
I’ve tried to keep my baby obsession out of my posts as much as possible but I can no longer avoid it. I am currently 24 weeks pregnant with my first baby, a boy. My husband spent the last four weeks since we found out the sex running around yelling “I breed warriors!!” which is [...]
On Veteran’s Day, my husband Evan and I drove up to Boston to have dinner with one of his college friends. I had never met this friend but I’m always willing to hear stories from the “good old days”, especially when I know they will be embarrassing. The night turned out to be more thought [...]
I haven’t lived on a military base since I was nine years old. My Coast Guard dad was always stationed places without housing, plus with at least 3 years at each station my mother preferred to buy homes instead. The only exception was the 2 years in Monterrey, California while Dad went to Naval Postgraduate [...]
On November 6th, I get my sex-of-the-baby ultrasound. When I call my mother with the results, I am 100% sure her next question will be “So when is the baby shower?” I will promptly fake a bout of morning sickness and run to hide under the covers. Maybe if I stay there for the next [...]
I was a picky eater as a kid. I hated almost everything from rice to vegetables to chicken to cheese that didn’t come wrapped in little plastic squares. As a teenager, it was embarrassing to refuse invitations to birthdays at Mexican restaurants or celebrations at the local Greek diner just because I couldn’t get a [...]
“Will you be here the day before Thanksgiving or the day of? And what do you want for Christmas dinner?”
Sometimes I think the holidays aren’t worth the trouble. It’s only October but already the emails and phone calls have started. I probably have it better than most – no one’s divorced or remarried, so [...]
