So, I’m officially 37 weeks now & that means I may be cuddling a new baby anytime now! For those of you who aren’t aware of how this works, once a woman hits 37 weeks gestation they consider her to be “full term” and then allow her to go into labor after then. However, some Read More
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
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
So, technically this baby’s due date is December 22nd, 2009. But, today we got to meet him, yes HIM, via ultrasound. These are the things we learned about him.

This is the official announcement that Josh and I are expecting baby #2 in mid-December!

The picture on the left is of Josh when he was 3 months old. The picture on the right is of Caleb at 8 weeks old. It’s fun to compare the two! I’m trying to see if I can find some pictures of me that would compare to some of our new Flickr photos. It’d Read More
There are parenting dilemmas that need decisions. Breastmilk or formula? Pacifiers or no pacifiers? Have mom stay home or go back to work? Which (of the many) sleeping arrangements will you choose? Disposable or cloth diapers? Most of the issues, Josh and I have been able to figure out just fine. The only one we Read More
He’s finally here. I’m sure I’ll write more later about my experiences, but right now Josh and I are just excited about getting to know him. You can check this blog, my Flickr photos, and Josh’s blog for updates. I will also remove the freaky “space baby” countdown from the sidebar at this point. Oh, Read More
I’ve had lots of weird dreams lately, and they usually involve having children and strange things that go with that. The funniest part has been waking up and going, “We named our kid ______?!?!” Here are my the baby names that have shown up in my dreams: Layla Lee Lewis (which Josh later changed to Read More
