Ever since Christmas my nesting has hit hyperdrive. I’ve had a million and one projects lined up patiently waiting for me to finish up construction and painting and Christmas, and I was trying to race through and finish them before the Rookie arrived to demand all of my attention.

Would you look at the size of this tank? Who would’ve thought such a little cross-eyed dummy would turn into this cross-eyed monster? I’m one of those crazy cat ladies that really believes that our cats are part of our family. Going beyond that, I believe they were sent to us when we needed them. […]

We’ve created a snuggle monster. Maybe a few months from now when he won’t be content with anyone but me, I’ll regret this. But right now, I’m treasuring it. Being a NICU mom makes you so grateful for the stupidest things. The first time I got to change his diaper I bawled. And then I […]

It’s taken me forever to try to figure out how to post this simple little pattern. Once I scanned it in I had to try to trace it in Photoshop, and that proved to max out my meager computer skills. But I think I’ve finally managed to get it done. I think. Click the links […]

I’ve already been getting so much great stuff sent my way. I’m so touched by what you all continue to do. I’ve been taking pictures and I’ll show them off once I finally finish putting up the patterns in the first place. So now that we’ve covered the outside of the isolette, let’s address what […]

My teeny little superguy finally busted out of the NICU and is now safely home with us. We are just crazy with happiness. He’s actually been home for a week as of today, but we’ve been trying to get the routine down and escape the craziness our lives became over the past three months. Luckily […]

My cousin Karen took this photo for me and I just couldn’t be more crazy about it. Like all things in my life, I start out with the very best of intentions and get completely sidetracked by reality. A month and a half ago I found out that my NICU had a need and I […]
