Well yesterday was the beginning of my 24th week of pregnancy. Other than the belly button pain and the occasional rib cage or back pain all is well. The bump is growing but I was surprised to see that I didn’t gain much weight over the month. I’ve got a prenatal appointment with the OBGYN […]

Um, did someone die in this house? Man it smells! (Evansville rental home search continues…)
I am going to be honest, this home hunt thing has really made me a downer lately. I know how boring and blah the posts have been and I am trying to not go on and on about the same crap, it is just hard to swiftly change perspective when nothing is actually looking up […]
Birthday month and demon possessed kitchen electronics…
Some of you already know that March is my birthday month. My birthday is also typically considered the first day of spring, it’s March 20th. Sunshine over at … and the pursuit of happiness is linking to all the March bloggy birthdays over on her site and she gifted me with this nifty button to […]
Checketty, check, check those things off that list!
The last few days have been jam packed with adult obligations and what not. We’ve spent much time at our bank trying to figure out the mystery of our February rent payment. We’ve researched landlord/ tenants legalities and sent out another certified letter with our March rent payment. We cleaned house with our free, spiffy […]
The Filter Queen, a cute country home and more landlord drama…
Today was an early and productive day for us. We woke up and headed to our bank to discuss getting some legal documentation against our landlords. You see they closed their accounts prior to the beginning of February and our electronic bill payment to them (for rent) wasn’t paid since their account is no longer… […]
23 weeks pregnant: baby kicks and stormy warm nights…
Yesterday was the beginning of my 23rd week of pregnancy. I must say this whole thing is just kind of flying right by, it is kind of scary how fast it’s going! I thought it would be cool to try recording some of Tater’s movements so I can show her once she is older. I […]
Strange search terms, Feb 2009 Edition
I am energy zapped today! The growing offspring inside me is needing food every 2 minutes today and on top of that I have zero energy so this is a lazy post… Sorry. By the way, bloggy peeps- I heart you! It seems you are truly the only ones who know what is going on […]
Slumloards, credit scores and a prenatal chiropractor [in a pear tree]…
Being all pregnancy slackerific the majority of the time means that when the energy does actually come in spurts we have a crapload of stuff to accomplish all at once. Thankfully as a team N and I have managed to continue getting everything dealt with that needs to be. It is days like today that […]

Wordless wednesday- things we do without…
Right now it seems there are more products I love and can’t find to buy these days than ever before. Since leaving Arizona we’ve found ourselves unable to find so many items we’ve become attached to. Please send groceries! We’ve been looking at the local pet stores like crazy for this litter. It is amazing […]
Making choices is hard stuff sometimes!
I am normally a pretty decisive person. When I know what I want I am set on it but when I don’t I am pretty open to whatever comes my way. Normally I can use logic and reason to help me make any decision easily and I would get annoyed with others for being indecisive. […]
Critters are everywhere! What is that in our wall?
You know we always have crazy eventful times with animals around here right? I mean all of our pets come to us by some sort of fate. They dart in our front door or are starving in a hole by the sidewalk when we walk by. We are suckers, we just can’t walk by and […]
Wild Salmon Fillets from Walmart are nasty! (are they even salmon?)
The nasty salmon has struck again! Last month I shared my theroy about how a piece of fish I ate that was supposed to be salmon was clearly not salmon. Well the fillets were the last ones in the freezer and we had already thrown the packaging away so we just moved on with life […]
Happy, crappy Friday the 13th!
At 2 am I got a start to the craptastic day thanks to the kitty crying and waking me in the middle of the night. Good parent preparation right? First thought in my head was, “Damn! N didn’t feed anybody before bed that is why they are crying!” I confirmed this my asking him, he […]
20 week ultrasound appointment. We're having a…
[POPUP=IMG1]We got in for our appointment and got some nifty photos of our little one today. We even got a little CD with the photos in addition to the ultrasound printout. N was way excited about our appointment and he is super stoked at the news. Lets see, I weighed in at 119 today and […]
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 […]

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 […]
I wanna go to BlogHer bad!!!
This blog started out as small potatoes and has made great strides in the several years it has been active. I started out with writers ambition and bit of SEO and web marketing knowledge. I wasn’t sure what I had to offer the internetz but I knew I wanted to give blogging a try so […]
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 […]
