This past March, we completed my favorite family vacation ever. I don’t say this lightly.

The Santa in Roveniemi is often called the real Santa at the north pole. We surprised our kids on Christmas day with a letter from Santa telling them he was inviting them to visit. Our kids had been counting down the days for this trip (and so was I…

When I was finally ready to try again, I figured we’d get pregnant right away. I had before and had no reason to think this would be any different. But it ended up being VERY different.

I’ve gained… 30 pounds as of Tuesday’s appointment. Midwife appointment this week? I had one on Thursday of last week with Karen and one Tuesday of this week with Cassandra.
