    Yesterday, Zara turned one.  I seriously cannot believe how quickly this year has flown by and how wonderfully she has grown through all of the changes in her world.  When she was a newborn and we were spending her first weeks packing and moving across country I kept telling her, “this is not what life…

    Today, Miss Zara Bea is five months old. She has the darlingest smile and the most delicious little toes at the end of chunky little legs we just can’t get over. She is a rolly-polly plump baby girl, and after having tiny baby Nora, I’m in love with having a solid baby who quite visably…

    This ridiculously cute and adorable baby girl will be three months old tomorrow.  And, oh, does she melt my heart.  I don’t have any weight or length info to report because we’re still waiting on our insurance to be set up, but each day it seems Zara gets a little chubbier and I think I could…

    First a note:  This is a birth story.  While there are no direct pictures of nudity, there are, of course, some in which I am not clothed and all that is blocking nudity is a baby or camera angle.  In addition, this describes Zara’s birth and talks about things in my labor experience that might…

    Apparently, time files when you’re loving on delicious baby toes and teeny-tiny fingers, because we blinked and our little bundle is two weeks old. Despite having to get back to work on websites much sooner than originally intended, I’ve been trying my hardest to have a little time that is just for Zara.  There are…

    I remember being amazed after Nora’s birth by just how little time it took for me to feel like she had always been there and by how quickly I forgot what life was like before Nora.  Really, what did I do with myself before I had kids?  It seems so much less than what I…
