Both of my kids now have a youtube channel. Beau runs his on his own and I started Lyra one as a place to keep up with the videos I make of her so I can get them off my phone. I created her a lit...

Big baby!
My child is massive! She’s 17 pounds and 24’ long … remember, just 5 short months ago she was only 5 pounds and 18’ long! She’s growing way too quickly and outgrowing everything - I have had to ...
Busy
I come here frequently, but always forget to write. Lyra is keeping me super busy and I rarely have a free moment between her and Beau. I was working as a nurse about 8 hours per week, but the ho...
2 months
8 pounds 4oz smiling… sometimes loves to sneak in some cartoons whenever big brother is watching them - i constantly see her staring at pokemon sleeps pretty well - 5 hours then 3 hours at night...
Still here
I haven’t written in nearly a month - Lyra is almost 8 weeks old now. Its hectic around here. Sometime around 3 weeks she started getting really gassy and that has only gotten worse. After abdomi...
4 weeks
She’s been around for 4 weeks now. Not much has changed since the last time I wrote, but we are adjusting to the sleeplessness a bit and she is starting to wake up more during the day. She is sti...
First two weeks
…. have gone by entirely too quickly! My baby will be three weeks old soon and it doesn’t seem possible. She is just amazing. A whole lot easier to do this baby thing at 30 than at 20, by the way...
One week
Week one went better than expected - Lyra sleeps and eats great and I have been able to get lots of rest (2-3 hours at a time). Beau is a huge help and Adam acts as if he has been caring for a ne...
Pictures

She is here!
Lyra was born on 1/5/15 at 1236. She weighed 5 pounds 2 ounces and is doing perfectly. I have a long birth story coming, but heres the condensed version - My induction, which started saturday af...
Emotional
I was having a really emotional moment last night. Probably due to lack of sleep and annoying itching. I saw midwife today - she had ordered me an ultrasound, which was reassuring. Baby looked gr...
Freaking out
I am so super stressed right now. I just want this baby to be out and healthy. I feel as if every single day she is inside me there is a chance something could happen. I hate taking a risk like t...
Induction date
I have an official date for induction if she doesn’t come before 37 weeks. It is Sunday night 1/4/15 or Monday morning 1/5, depending on my level of dilation the week before. If I need to go Sund...
33
At my ultrasound last Monday baby had flipped to breech, which I knew she did since I was feeling her hiccups in my ribs. Thankfully she decided to swim back down and now it feels like she is stu...
3-5 weeks!
Seriously… 3-5 weeks is all I have left. I am 31 weeks now and we will be starting the “get baby out” process around 34 and by 36 I should definitely have a baby. At the very latest my midwife ha...
Name
We have finally decided on a name for our daughter, I believe. We have known for years her first name - I have seen her many times in my dreams and she always had the same name. I knew she would ...
15 months
“We did things - insignificant things, but things that normal people would do. We cried a lot - we eventually slept. We woke up. It was a new day, but it was the same nightmare. It still is. ” —...
3d/4d
We had a 3d/4d ultrasound today (pictures are posted on instagram – calm.mama) - After 20 something weeks of being head down she has now decided to flip and place her head in my ribs.. I suggest...

Nausea has returned and it feels like I can’t breathe deeply. Baby is HIGH, much higher than the boys ever were and its taking a toll on my lungs… and the heartburn. Never experienced this during...

I don’t think I have written about my last midwife visit here yet, but there were some exciting things discussed. First, I had a MFM ultrasounds last Monday to check growth. Baby is great - meas...
How different it is…
With my first pregnancy (Beau), I was 20 years old when I found out. We were living in an apartment barely making ends meet. Always late on rent and easymac and $1 pizzas from wal mart we my nutr...
23
23 weeks pregnant. TTC seems like a distant memory to me. I sometimes miss taking tests - I asked Adam the other day if I should take one lol, he said it would be a waste of money - but of course...
