thedub's: Confessions of a "stay at home" mom
http://tjandb-dub.blogspot.com/2011/05/confessions-of-stay-at-home-mom.html
Friday, May 6, 2011. Confessions of a "stay at home" mom. SO, ya, I did it! I took the plunge and quit my job! I am still kind of in shock. When my 12 weeks came up, it was a no brainer.I just could not leave my little one. What also helped was my non-profit salary and 2 hr commute every day, both combined just didn't justify the cost of childcare. So my life as a stay at home mom began. To be honest I have never worked so hard in my life and never loved anything so much! I cant figure out how to do more...

So yes, we have a full spirited 6 month old on our han...

Monday, August 30, 2010. Apparently the belly and I were the feature presentation this weekend. I guess you could say we had our "debut". Before now, my weekend wardrobe consisted of a very loose T-shirt and some form of stretchy/sweat pants. Worked nicely, just gave me a sort of plump appearance, which I have started to reconcile with. This weekend, was on a whole different scale. Literally. With the scale in my bathroom, tipping up daily, our journey from week 16 to week 17 was quite amusing! Told her ...

Wednesday, April 20, 2011. Happy Birthday Cousin Caris. Today we celebrate the birth of our favorite and only cousin! Caris Elizabeth is 2 today and Annabelle and I could not be more excited! Caris, with the little girl you are shaping up to be, I am waiting in wonder at what Annabelle will learn from you! Will she love your love for the purple hue? Copy your barnyard animal faces? Love you zest for chores? Inherit your love for anything that resembles a book? Caris kissing baby Annabelle's toes. Truly A...

Wednesday, September 29, 2010. 21 weeks and counting. Small disclaimer, the images you are about to see are me, no makeup after a full day of work, feeling exhausted, please excuse the face, just focus your attention on the growing bump). So, here we are 21 weeks in, my baby Annabelle is the size of a cantaloupe? How crazy is that! Here is our picture montage of our little growing one, first an outsiders point of view, then on to the main event! 18 weeks here, cant really see the belly, but she's there!

thedub's: Now Annabelles Personal Success....

Friday, April 15, 2011. Now Annabelles Personal Success. Also known as NAPS. Really I am speaking (or typing) out of turn a little here, but in a slightly failed attempt at an abbreviation for Naps.I am going to chalk our last 2 days as a success and speak into existence their permanence in our life. Truly Annabelle deserves all the credit for this one, if it were up to me, I would hold her and rock her every moment of every day, but apparently that is not good for either of us, or so everyone tells me :).

Wednesday, June 15, 2011. I am 4 months old. And I don't care who knows it! So, I do realize I did miss the 3 month update, its started, I promise, just never completed. So instead I am combining our 3 month and 4 month update for a combined effort! We will see how this goes! Our last 2 months can be summed up in two words, Fingers and Toes! Annabelle has loved our "stroller fit" class and refuses to sleep a wink during our morning outing! My best friend Cori was married this May, and our Annabelle was t...

http://tjandb-dub.blogspot.com/2011/05/love-to-laugh.html
Monday, May 16, 2011. Love to laugh :). I am working on my 3 month post.which is a good thing, since in about 2 weeks my baby Annabelle will be 4 whole months! BUT, in lieu of that update, I had to share this! One of my favorite characteristics to date has begun to emerge in my little one! I have been seeing signs of "pre-laughter" for quite some time now, but they have been snuffed out by the urge to cough instead of producing a gleeful noise. ANYway.we finally had laughter liftoff! The first little lau...

Tuesday, November 23, 2010. It is not every day I can say I relate to a Biblical Figure, not that I don't try, pray, seek after, and strive to discover a oneness with our spiritual ancestors. I don't even know if relate is quite the right word to use here, but due to lack of a better term it will do. Verse 19 "But Mary treasured up all these things, pondering them in her heart". Wednesday, November 17, 2010. So, we did it (and by we, I mean me agonizing, analyzing, photo taking, picture emailing, doubtin...

Thursday, March 24, 2011. You are one month old! What a month it has been. In some ways it has gone in slow motion, as the nights merge into days, with few hours of sleep in between, but in a very real/scary way it has flown by! My little baby is a month old! Your first few weeks were spent with mommy, in our room just getting used to each other. We napped, ate, played, prayed and learned each others every facial line, every smell, every finger and every toe. So we do, we bounce and bounce and bounce.
