The LA Times, Edition 5
It’s been a while since I’ve had time to update. Lots of things have happened in the past couple of weeks. First of all, congratulations to our friends Ariel and Dan on the birth of their little boy, Esher! A couple of weekends ago we went to SC for our baby shower. It was so [...]
The LA Times, Edition 4
We’ve had lots of fun with our friends over the past week. To start, we went to a Durham Bulls baseball game last week with three other couples. The Bulls lost 12-0, but it was fun to hang out…and it was even more exciting because it was $1 food night. On Saturday morning Matt went [...]
The LA Times, Edition 3
We finally got our new car, hooray! It has been SO nice to not have to coordinate our schedules this week. Whenever I feel like I can just get in the car and go to the gym or the pool or wherever it is I need to go. I would probably love any car at [...]
The LA Times, Edition 2
It was an exciting weekend around the Miller household. We had our 5 year anniversary on Friday and my birthday yesterday, so we had a joint celebration all day on Saturday. The day started with breakfast cooked by Matt and then I headed off to get myself a manicure and pedicure. That afternoon we saw [...]
The LA (Leigh Ann) Times, Edition 1
One cool thing about being pregnant is that you learn all about the amazing things your body is designed for. Like lately I’ve been learning all about breastfeeding. I won’t go into all the details here, but it really is pretty cool. I’ve been reading a breastfeeding book and last week I took a breastfeeding [...]
Loopy Leigh Leigh
So, that’s what Matt calls me these days. I have to admit that he’s right. It’s been well documented that absentmindedness happens to almost all pregnant women. They blame it on all different things…hormones, an overload of new things that your mind is thinking about, etc. I’ve never had a problem with being absentminded, but [...]
Warning: Long Post
Wow, lots of stuff has happened since I wrote a couple of weeks ago. I’ll just put this in bullet points so it (hopefully) doesn’t get too overwhelming… I hung out with a new friend that I met from the TriangleMommies group that I joined. We just had lunch and had girl-talk while her 18-month [...]
Busy Bee
This was another very productive and busy week for me. I wouldn’t call it nesting, but I do feel more and more motivated to work on projects around the house…the type of projects you normally procrastinate on for years such as organizing all of your old photos. I suppose I’m feeling like I want to [...]
Tea Garden
This was a very fun and productive weekend. My parents came up on Friday night and stayed until Sunday morning. On Saturday morning we decided on what color paint to use for Kaelyn’s room. There are so many paint choices that it is quite overwhelming. We finally chose “Tea Garden” green by Kilz which is [...]
Two down, One to go
We got our Target baby registry done this week, hooray! We also registered for some bedding items at Pottery Barn Kids. Now we just have to register for a few more small things and all the big stuff like stroller, car seat, high chair, etc. at Babies R Us. Hopefully we’ll get to that one [...]
Mirror in the Sky
So the title really doesn’t have anything to do with this post, but Stevie Nicks is singing “Landslides” (my favorite) on the Ellen show right now and I thought those lyrics sounded like a cool blog title. The past couple of weeks have actually been fairly busy for us. I think it has hit me [...]
We’d like to use a life line
( Baby )
We’ve decided that we would like to use a life line and poll the audience for middle name suggestions. Maybe our brains are fried from selecting the first name, but we just haven’t been able to come up with the perfect middle name yet for our baby girl. So announcing our choice for first name…. [...]
The Circle of Life
This past weekend we went to SC to surprise my Mom for her 50th birthday. The party turned out great and I think Mom was really shocked. Mom and Dad had been vacationing in Savannah, GA all week and when they returned home on Saturday evening, everyone was waiting at their house for the big [...]
Let’s Make a Deal
( Baby )
So if you couldn’t tell from some of my previous posts, I really love finding good deals. Finding a good bargain is one thing that makes shopping fun for me…it’s like a challenge. On Friday I decided to visit a nearby kid’s consignment shop and it was one of those good days when the deals [...]
The results are in….
( Baby )
We had a great ultrasound this afternoon. The doctor said everything looks just perfect and the baby is doing great. That is always a relief to hear that news every month. We were also able to tell the gender of our little Bean. I don’t know if the Pepsi helped or not, but it definitely [...]
Last Week’s Review
( Baby )
My brother, Jared, visited us all last week during his Spring Break. We had a lot of fun just hanging out and relaxing and doing a few fun things. One day we visited a music store in Raleigh that Jared wanted to go to. We did some shopping, some yard work, and played a lot [...]
Sunday, March 11
( Baby )
For all those who are interested in the status of my growing belly, Sunday, March 11 was the day when I woke up and all of a sudden my pants did not fit anymore. I was quite surprised because I went to put on my black dress pants for church and they just wouldn’t button [...]
Kleenex…
…that’s what my whole week has been about. On Saturday Matt and I did work outside. I took up all of the dead stuff that was planted around our mailbox and planted some pansies while Matt washed our car and a few other misc things. Afterwards I was feeling so worn out which I just [...]
This and That
It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything. Apart from what Matt has already written about, here’s what else I’ve been up to… ========== Lisa’s visit ========== Lisa came to visit me last week for about 3 days. It was SO fun to have girl time during the day while Matt was working. The first [...]
And the Saga Continues
We’re getting settled in a little more. We’ve already had visits from both parents, my grandparents and aunt and uncle, and Leigh Ann’s friend, Lisa. That breaks the mark for how many out-of-town visitors we had at our entire time at Champaign. Anyway, I celebrated my First Annual 29th Birthday this year (luckily, this allows [...]
