Bubbling with anticipation and watching the world blow by…
Tomorrow is our big ultrasound appointment and we are excited about it. We are dying to know if Tater Tot is a boy or girl and we know you are itching to know too… Also, we called a local lender today and are waiting to hear if we are pre approved for a mortgage. We […]
Yep, we are moving AGAIN… Shoot me now!
Did you watch Obama’s thing last night? I did because N and I are all opinionated about the government and we’ve been looking real hard at the governments ideas to help the housing market. We’ve officially come out of our state of delusion and are actively looking for a new home that we want to […]

Coming out of the winter coma on a warm and sunny weekend…
You’ve heard about S.A.D right? It is a type of “winter mood disorder”… I’ve seen commercials about S.A.D and the prescription pills that “I should ask my doctor about if I am experiencing similar symptoms”. I have always rolled my eyes about the idea of the winter season making people depressed enough to need a […]
Brain Spew: Bullet Point Thursday. Bun in the oven edition.
I could be long winded and thorough about all these things but that is just a tad boring and seriously nobody cares that much right? So here is my brain spew for you in the form of an infamous bullet point post. Enjoy! My tap water gives me diarrhea. Yep I know that is TMI […]
19 week belly shots and recap of past belly shots…
We still haven’t had our ultrasound so we haven’t been given the Doctors “educated guess” on the sex of our baby… It stinks that our appointment was canceled but we are also glad we didn’t have to brave the madness following that big storm! In the meantime we’ve been trying to focus our energies in […]
Welcome to the midwest! We're ice storm virgins from the westcoast.
We are at the OBGYN right now My OBGYN is closed as a result of the level 2 state of emergency Evansville is in thanks to the power outages and road conditions! So I’ve scheduled this post to keep you all occupied until we get home, gather our thoughts and are able to draft up […]
18 week milestone for baby Tater Tot and parents
Many of you already know that this is a big week for us and little Tater Tot. On Thursday we will be at 19 weeks, will learn the sex of our baby and attend another prenatal exam with the OBGYN. I am sure seeing her will just be a delight as usual. Plus we are […]
Snow and ice are here but we still have power, woot!
If you read yesterdays post you know we were supposed to be getting this hellish ice storm and tons on snow according to the forecasters. Once N got to work he heard the news and promptly informed me. They said we would loose lose power (thanks Josh for the typo catch!) and that we should […]
We toured The Farm and are super pleased!
Well, we visited The Farm on Saturday and were super pleased with our midwife Pamela. It was pouring the whole way from Indiana to Tennessee and the drive was long but we made it safely in one piece and were super glad we decided to take the trip. Pamela spent over 2 hours with us […]
We love to travel (even though it is always insanity) and can't wait to get away this weekend!
After spending most of the morning cleaning like a mad woman I think it is time for a nap! One of N’s coworkers is watching over the house and the pets while we go to our prenatal appointment at The Farm so I wanted to have the house clean, you know since an outsider would […]
Prenatal appointments, huge zits and freezing rain fill my brain.
This week I have not one but two prenatal appointments scheduled. I am now in my 15th week of pregnancy (yippie!) and will be meeting Pamela @ The Farm this weekend. We are also seeing the OBGYN on Thursday morning for our 3rd prenatal appointment. N is anticipating the prenatal appointments because he gets anxious […]
Home buying fun in Evansville, IN- sellers are still greedy even when screwed!
Remember all the times I have talked about trying to buy a home on this blog? Well we are still living the first time home buyer saga. Over the weekend we looked at a place here that was a possible option for us, we met a Realtor that was overly eager to make her money […]
Taking the next step towards birthing at The Farm
After talking right through the New Years Eve countdown N agreed that we would make the trip down to The Farm in TN and take the next step towards planning our birth there. The financial aspects of our situation really bother me and they are the only reason why we would choose not to birth […]
Munching cat poo "cookies" is gross!
I am not sure what is so appetizing about eating cat poo piles from the cat box but our dog is totally addicted to it. It worries me because cat litter can’t be good for a dogs digestive tract plus the process of eating cat poo somehow results in the poo and litter being strewn […]
I'll show you mine if you show me yours (your fridge silly!)
I am easily amused as many of you already know. My idea of good to share info has always caught people off guard (Sorry McGramps for making you blush with the pubic hair mention!), I am an odd one but it keeps people on their toes… Keeping with the oddness I decided to snap this […]
The day after Christmas, the aftermath.
I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas! Our holiday went well, it was celebrated at odd times as usual but we had a blast anyway! All you really need is to be together right? So, N came home from work late X-mas eve (11pm) and we proceeded to bake cookies and frost them. I […]
The 12 Days of Christmas, Talina and N's style
Okay, now sing it with me just to ring in the holiday spirit: On the first day of Christmas, my true love sent to me A garage cat with some fleas. On the second day of Christmas, my true love sent to me Two broken cars (poor Nissan and Amigo!) And a garage cat with […]
Christmas Eve = Baking Madness!
Since we’ll be grocery shopping and baking like mad on Christmas Eve I am pre-writing this blog post. Thankfully I am over the car drama stressing thanks to my therapeutic cinnamon roll baking and my ever fluctuating hormone levels. Once again I am making about 7 pans of Oowey, gooey, heaven in a pan, cinnamon […]
