My Life Happenings

A Little More Normal

01/07/2010

I haven’t posted since November 30th. Actually, here are some telling signs of the cloud I’ve been in for the past many months. At the doctor’s office a few weeks ago, I signed and dated a document as August 14th, 2009. The lady was like, “Um… It’s December 14th. Yeah. December.” I looked up at Read More

35 Weeks Pregnant

11/15/2009

35 Weeks Pregnant 4, originally uploaded by StephLewis. Here I am at 35 weeks pregnant! I have slowly been abandoning my cute pregnancy clothes as they are proving to not fit so well anymore. I have moved into the “please someone, help this poor woman” line of maternity clothes for this last stretch of the Read More

Quick Pregnancy Update

10/24/2009

Since my last fun and exciting pregnancy update, I have more to add. First, it turns out that my heart and blood pressure issues were from an allergic reaction to the progesterone shots I was getting. So, they took me off of those and I got much better. I continued with a (mostly) modified diet Read More

2 Year Old in Public

10/17/2009

Scene 1 – At Menards! Caleb has quite the vocabulary and has to vocalize everything he’s thinking pretty much all day long. Today we were at Menards and it went like this: Caleb: Mama, where all the pretty ladies go? Me: What??? Caleb: Hmmmmm… [points to a man] Is that a pretty lady??? …No. Me: Read More

Celebrating Nine Years!

08/13/2009

9th Anniversary, originally uploaded by StephLewis. Yesterday, Josh and I celebrated nine years of marriage. I know, nine years? Wow. That’s a lot. This last year has been a rocky one. It followed up moving across the country from California to Minnesota (in with my parents for a bit) and then buying a new house. Read More

Last Week Was Scary

07/29/2009

So, last week was not the best week for the Lewis family. The quick summary is that I started having health symptoms that are scary, and the cause was likely linked to problems with my heart and blood. So, after lots of fatigue, dizzy spells, heart monitors, doctors visits, and obsessing over fine details about Read More

Take That, Ella!

02/01/2009

Caleb and Ella, our miniature dachshund, are best buds. They are pretty much always by each other. They play fetch with Ella’s toys, he gives her dog treats, she comes when he calls her (sometimes), they sit by each other and cuddle under a blanket when we’re on the couch together. Sometimes Caleb will even Read More
