Cooper’s Birth

Audrey — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 15:00:22 +0000

When Cooper was born I didn’t post much to this here blog about his birth story. For the most part that was intentional. I tend to be very private in some ways and very open in other ways (don’t ask how I decide to categorize things, there isn’t much rhyme or reason) and at the [...]

What’s In a Name

Audrey — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 15:00:24 +0000

This picture of my great grandmother sits on my dresser. When my mother first gave it to me a few years ago, I put it there simply because the frame matched the one holding a family photo and it added a nice aesthetic balance to my bedroom. Lately though, the photo has taken [...]

Baby Bedding

Audrey — Wed, 07 Dec 2011 23:37:41 +0000

I’ve got a super exciting sewing update for you today. We’re planning on having the new baby sleep in our room for awhile when she first arrives. We have a pack ‘n play where the mattress pad can function as a hanging bassinet and I wanted to make it a bit more comfy and homey [...]

100 Days, Give or Take

Audrey — Thu, 01 Dec 2011 15:00:12 +0000

As of today there are only 100 days left until my “due date.” Dipping under 100 days makes my heart race a bit as it makes me realize how quickly things are going to change. Am I ready for the return to sleepless nights? Am I up to the challenge of taking care of two [...]

E is For Elephant

Audrey — Thu, 10 Nov 2011 18:54:50 +0000

Cooper’s spirit animal seemed to be a monkey. He had blankets, outfits, and pajamas with monkeys on them and was even a monkey for Halloween. Well, I have a feeling that the new baby’s spirit animal is going to be an elephant. She already has elephant sheets that I purchased before I even knew the [...]

Goodbye October

Audrey — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 22:40:45 +0000

I’m generally very excited for October to be over since I don’t really get into Halloween that much and November is one of my favorite months, but this October treated us really well. A brief recap:

My sister and her husband, Joe, came to visit us.

We loved having them, although [...]

Mini Me

Audrey — Fri, 21 Oct 2011 19:59:48 +0000

Everyone thinks that Cooper is Noel’s replica. For some reason, this always makes me feel a little put out. I mean, I would like to think that I have something to do with who Cooper is (not to mention his existence). When we found out about baby #2 I instinctively thought “girl.” I was so [...]

Middle of the Night Musings

Audrey — Wed, 14 Sep 2011 16:55:45 +0000

Last night we got back home from a trip to Utah. Somewhere in our travels, Cooper and I both managed to catch some sort of a head cold. Between not feeling so hot and trying to cut the remainder of his teeth simultaneously, last night was a bit rough. Funny thing is though, as I [...]

Monkey See, Monkey Do

Audrey — Fri, 26 Aug 2011 14:44:21 +0000

The other day Noel and I were hanging pictures in our living room. To make sure everything was even and centered we measured and then made marks on the wall with a pencil. Unfortunately, Cooper was watching and now thinks you are supposed to draw on the wall with pencil . . .

I’m [...]

Let’s Play a Game, Shall We?

Audrey — Mon, 22 Aug 2011 23:24:03 +0000

Something big, or shall we say small, is going on at our house. Any guesses? Here are a few hints:
